Abrégé

The invention relates to an apparatus for controlling and eliminating rodents such as rats, comprising a tunnel-like housing (1) with a housing lower part (3) having a floor (2) and with a housing lid (4), which can be made to engage with the housing lower part (3) for the purposes of closing the housing (1), with, in each case, one sidewall-side entrance opening (8; 8a) on each end wall (5) of the housing lower part (3), with two snap traps (11) positioned back to back and at a distance from one another on the floor (2) of the housing lower part (3), with a passage barrier (10) positioned between the backs of the two snap traps (11) that divides the housing tunnel into two halves, and with, in each case, one redirection guide (14) positioned in the housing tunnel in the region of each entrance opening (8; 8a), wherein the passage barrier (10) and the two redirection guides (14) each have at least one light-transmissive region and are arranged with respect to one another in the housing tunnel in a position which provides a light path through the housing tunnel for a light beam entering into the housing tunnel through a first or a second of the two entrance openings (8, 8a), which light path passes through the at least one light-transmissive region of the redirection guide (14) assigned to the first (8) of the two entrance openings (8, 8a), through the at least one light-transmissive region of the passage barrier (10), and through the at least one light-transmissive region of the redirection guide (14) assigned to the second (8a) of the two entrance openings (8; 8a) and subsequently passes out of the housing tunnel from the second entrance opening (8a), and vice versa.
