the front part of the tube rests on a flat surface, the other side is elevated. The elevated end holds a removable cap into which the user places bait (cheese, dog food, or some other flavored piece). A hinged door is attached to the front end of the tube. When the trap is opened this door rests on two narrow “stilts” attached to the two bottom corners of the door.

The trap works with efficiency. A mouse smells the bait, enters the tube through the opened part. As it moves to the angled bottom towards the opened part, mouse’s weight makes the elevated end of the trap drop downward. This elevates the opened end, allowing the hinged door to swing closed, trapping the mouse. Small teeth on the ends of the “stilts” catch in a ping in a groove of the bottom of the trap, locking the door closed.

The mouse can be disposed of live, or it can be left alone for a few hours to suffocate in the trap.
The research showed that the main potential customers are housewives (women), owners of the catering industry (such as: bars, cafes, restaurants, etc), owners of different huge stores (like places where the mousetraps can be sold).

For the person who cares about his safety and brand reputation, the Trap-Ease is the best choice. The reason is that they have several advantages among their competitors, such as: easiest way of setting up on the surface, safety (protects pets and children from poison, which most mousetraps have) and the main advantage is that the mousetrap leaves no blood on the floor or surface after extermination.
