A bird trap having a pair of open mesh wire screen cages spaced apart to provide a passage between the cages. An overhead tunnel extending across the tops of the two cages bridges the space between them. Openings in the tops of the two cages communicate with the tunnel. Entrance into the first cage is through an opening in the side of the cage from the space forming the passage between the cages. A trap door in the opening from the tunnel to the second cage traps the birds in the second cage.

A crab trap shaped like a star formed from generally curved segments apexes of the star. These curved segments define the shape of the side walls of the trap which gently converge to a entrance tunnel and opening that leads to the interior of the trap. Each opening has a one-way gate so that the crustacean can enter but cannot escape from the trap. With the exception of the apexes, if the crustacean contacts any part of the side wall of the trap, the gentle curve of that segment of the side wall...

An animal trap comprises a swing frame mounted on a base. The swing frame has a pair of laterally spaced-apart arms and is pivoted to the base for swinging movement from a generally horizontal position to a generally upright position. A spring urges the swing frame to the upright position. A retainer releasably holds the swing frame in the horizontal position. A cable has one end anchored and the other end formed in a loop with the cable extending through the loop to form a noose. Opposite sides...

A particulate trap for use with a diesel engine is high in particulate trapping capacity and regenerating capacity and low in pressure drop, and yet is compact and inexpensive. This trap has a filter element made up of a plurality of tapered filter members formed from a fabric of heat-resistant metal fibers. The filter members have different diameters from each other and are nested concentrically one inside the other so that the adjacent filter members are positioned inversely. Each filter membe...

An insect trap includes a substantially cylindrical, hollow base component having an open top in communication with an interior chamber and a chemical attractant device received therein. Superimposed on the open top is a mesh screen that is precoated with an insect eradicating substance. A plurality of legs extend from the bottom surface of the base component for supporting the base component a predetermined distance above a supporting surface. In addition, the interior chamber may be selectivel...

A rodent trap for drowning a plurality of rodents and other small pests without the need for resetting the trap is disclosed. The inventive device includes a ramp engageable to a rim of a conventional pail and a rotating body positionable horizontally within the pail. The pail is partially filled with water or a mixture of water and ethylene glycol in such manner that the rotating body is free to rotate a distance above the water or mixture line. The rotating body includes a cylindrical body rot...

A trap for crawling insects, such as cockroaches, comprises a container with a detachable lid having an opening large enough to admit an insect, this opening giving access to a supply of bait on the container bottom. A downward extension of the lid adjacent its opening, such as a collar surrounding that opening, terminates high enough above the bottom to allow the insect to drop down onto the bait but not to return to the opening by the same path. The inner peripheral wall of the container is co...

An insect trap in the form of an inclining surface under which insects or other small pests are lured for their control or destruction. The underside of the inclining surface is coated with an adhesive, contains an insect attractant, and converges toward the plane of the floor or surface upon which insects travel. The incline and spacing of the adhesive surface to the surface of travel is such that insects or other small pests in search of the attractant source may move under the adhesive surfac...

A simple, lightweight, reusable three element trap for attracting and capturing flying insects, especially whiteflies, consists of a transparent enclosure attached to a yellow base with a truncated cone shaped interior for admitting flying insects into the transparent enclosure, and a deflector plate suspended over the top opening of the base to impede the insects' flying out of the trap. The trap does not require bait or adhesives. The flying insects are attracted to the yellow base, land and c...

A grease trap having an inlet member, a discharge member, a plurality inner walls defining chambers within, and a relief member for flushing accumulated waste matter. In general order of fluid flow, the chambers include an inlet chamber, a preliminary chamber, an outlet chamber, a discharge chamber, and a reservoir chamber. A first orifice on one inner wall permits passage of fluid from the inlet chamber to the preliminary chamber, a second orifice on another inner wall permits passage of fluid ...
