Trapping methods are techniques used to capture animals for various purposes, such as research, relocation, or population control. Common types of traps include live traps, which capture animals unharmed, and kill traps, which are designed to quickly and humanely kill the target animal. These methods are often employed by wildlife biologists and pest control professionals. Different trapping methods are chosen based on the target species and the environment. For instance, snap traps are effective for small rodents, while funnel traps can be used for fish or amphibians. Proper placement and bait selection are crucial for successful trapping outcomes.
