A mouse trap comprising:

• a main body having a front wall including an entrance opening which permits access by a mouse to an interior of said main body;
• a ramp extends from said entrance opening at an oblique angle relative to a bottom wall of said main body to a position spaced above said bottom wall, said ramp including a plurality of parallel and spaced linear projections which permit said mouse to easily climb said ramp;
• a bait container removably positioned within said interior of said main body proximal to a rear wall thereof, said bait container comprising a substantially rectangular mesh bag having an open upper end with a bag frame extending along and coupled to an upper edge of said open end of said mesh bag, and a center handle extending across said bag frame;
• a trap door pivotally mounted within said main body, said trap door including an adjustably mounted counter weight which serves to gravitationally bias said trap door into a substantially horizontal orientation engaged to an upper end of said ramp;
• a holding compartment positioned beneath said trap door, wherein said trap door, upon receiving a weight of said mouse onto a portion of said trap door will rotate to deposit said mouse within said holding compartment, said holding compartment extending through side walls of said main body and includes a drawer slidably received therewithin, said drawer including a pair of spaced, longitudinally extending tracks;
• and,
• screen means for selectively closing an upper opening of said drawer, said screen means comprising a screen frame having longitudinal projections correspondingly shaped relative to said tracks, said screen frame being engagable to said drawer when said drawer is within said holding compartment;
