Trap designs refer to various methods and structures used to capture or contain animals, insects, or even unwanted pests. These designs can range from simple, homemade traps to more complex, commercially available options. Common types include mouse traps, insect traps, and live animal traps, each tailored to target specific species while minimizing harm. Effective trap designs often incorporate bait, camouflage, and mechanisms that trigger the capture. The choice of materials and construction techniques can influence the trap's efficiency and durability. Understanding the behavior of the target species is crucial for creating a successful trap design that ensures effective capture without unnecessary suffering.
