Abstract
Described herein is an animal kill trap. More specifically, an improved animal trap configured for trapping and humanely killing small mammalian predators. The trap comprises an integrated enclosure which utilises the lid for setting the trap mechanism, and additionally acts as a safety mechanism wherein when the lid is the open position, the trap is deactivated and thus avoiding any harm to the user. The trap comprises a tunnel architecture which is appealing to the predators, and additionally has a capture flag to indicate when a predator has been captured.
