Microencapsulated animal trap bait for escape-proof repeating animal traps

摘要

The present invention is directed to a microencapsulated bait for application to repeating animal traps for luring animals to the trap. The microencapsulated bait can be applied during manufacturing of new traps or to existing traps alike. The microencapsulated bait may be applied to the trap via brush, spray or adhesive backed tape. The microencapsulated bait can be activated by merely scratching the portion of the trap containing the microcapsules. Alternatively the microcapsules may be constructed and arranged for timed release of the scents, flavors or phermones contained therein.
