FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to devices for catching small rodents, particularly mice and rats. The trap comprises a base, a spring-loaded frame, a trigger, a fixing L-shaped element and an additional L-shaped element. The upper shelf of the fixing L-shaped element is directed along the line parallel to the trigger. The upper shelf of the additional L-shaped element is directed along the line parallel to the axis of rotation of the spring-loaded frame. The additional L-shaped element is pivotally mounted on the base. The axis of rotation of the additional L-shaped element is parallel to the axis of rotation of the spring-loaded frame. The trigger consists of two pivotally connected parts. The sections of parts of the trigger are bent so that in operative condition a cavity is formed at the upper edge of the trigger at the area of the pivot connection. The upper shelf of the additional L-shaped element rests on this cavity in operative condition. The end of the L-shaped element and the end of the trigger are made sharpened.

EFFECT: increased usability is achieved when handling the trap.
