Abstract

An animal trap comprised of an elongated conduit, the elongated conduit including an open proximal end, a closed distal end, inner and outer walls, and a slot dimensioned to receive a door therethrough. The door when urged into the slot is dimensioned to substantially encompass a cross sectional area of the elongated conduit. A tension member is coupled to the door for urging the door into the slot independent of gravity or geometric alignment of the animal trap when released by an actuator. The actuator is coupled to the door. A sensor is provided for signaling a presence of an animal within an interior volume of the elongated conduit. A trigger circuit is operatively coupled with the sensor and the actuator and is configured to cause the actuator to release the door upon receipt of a presence of an animal signal from the sensor.
