A basic rodent trap uses an antiquated metal pedal catch to hold bait and secure a spring loaded kill bar.  Problem is, some rodents take their time nibbling off these unimproved ancient bait catches enjoying every bite and then simply walking away making bait catch bar useless.  My simple and patented better bait catch improvements increase odds a nibbling rodent big or small will be enjoying a last meal.   See #41 below how it works.

There are two very similar traps currently manufactured and sold by nationally-recognized US companies based on an expired US patent #2761240 Trap issued September 4, 1956.  Both companies have ignored 63 years of customer complaints to improve  bait catch sensitivity so it works every time and not whenever.  My patented traps use 21st century better bait catch technology to stop a rodent from eating for free and walking away. 
 
A bait catch treat could be beef jerky, breadstick, chip, cookie, cracker, nut, pop-tart, pizza crust, pretzel or a triscuit complimented with a 1/4 teaspoon of peanut butter in a variety of configurations as shown below.

"Many humane societies, such as the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International, advocate a ban on using glue traps."

See Rodent Trap Improvement 1 - 37 or Snap Trap Actuator 38 - 41 issued December 26, 2017 below.

I have a three more patentable innovatively simple methods improving my patented Rodent Trap Improvement and Snap Trap Actuator.

speed 100%.

There is a yet another patentable innovatively simple use application for a rodent trap using very same parts shown above plus a few others
