An example mouse and rodent trap includes a base with an opening formed therein. A plank is formed in the base and extending at least partially across the opening formed in the base. A shaft is supported below the plank. A catch basin is provided below the base. The plank bends under weight of a mouse or rodent on the plank reaching down toward bait on the shaft causing the mouse or rodent to fall from the plank into a catch basin below the plank.
