Title: Rat trap

Abstract: A trap for rats and the like rodents formed of a sheet metal, covered box having an opening in one wall and a steep ramp located within the box and extending from the bottom of the opening to a point just below the cover of the box. A vertically arranged sheet metal channel surrounds the ramp to form a ramp containing chamber located within the box, which isolates the ramp from the remainder of the box interior. Bait is suspended within the box near the upper end of the ramp to entice the rodent into climbing up the ramp and reaching for the bait, thereby causing the rodent to fall into and to be trapped within the box interior.
