bait trap
Food-triggered animal catcher
A bait trap is a device that lures animals or insects with food or scent to capture or kill them.
The bait draws the target in; the trap holds or dispatches it.
Mousetraps use cheese or peanut butter, ant traps use sweet gel, lobster pots use fish: We set bait traps around the perimeter to control the rat problem.
