Retracting tunnel rodent trap

A rodent trap comprising:

• a base defining a base interior and an opening;
• a strike member movably coupled to the base for linear travel between an extended position and a retracted position, the strike member comprising a tunnel element extending through the opening of the base and into the base interior, the tunnel element defining an entryway that communicates with the base interior, wherein the entryway is exterior to the base interior when the strike member is in the extended position;
• a biasing member coupled to the base and the strike member, the biasing member configured to bias the strike member toward the retracted position;
• and
• a trigger pivotably coupled to a pin extending vertically from the base, wherein the trigger is configured to contact an outer surface of the strike member in the extended position and, when the trigger dislodges from the outer surface of the strike member, the strike member linearly travels to the retracted position.
