Abstract
A low profile tilt-ramp trap includes a tube providing entrance into the trap. Within the tube is a tilt ramp that has a flap on its exit end to prevent mice from moving beneath the tilt ramp. Once a mouse enters the tilt ramp, the ramp pivots to provide the mouse access to the interior of the trap. A counter weight causes the tilt ramp to move back to its initial position after the mouse has entered.
