kill trap
Fatal capture device
A kill trap is a device designed to kill an animal rather than capture it alive.
These include snap traps, body-gripping traps, and spring-loaded mechanisms that deliver lethal force: The shed had kill traps set for rats.
Distinguished from live traps or cage traps, which hold animals unharmed for relocation or release.
