Trap design refers to the process of creating structures or devices that capture or contain specific targets, such as animals or pests. This involves understanding the behavior and movement patterns of the target species, as well as the materials and mechanisms that will effectively lure and hold them. Effective trap design considers factors like size, shape, and bait selection to maximize success rates. Common types of traps include live traps, snap traps, and electronic traps, each serving different purposes and targeting various species. Proper trap design is essential for humane and efficient capture methods in wildlife management and pest control.
