A fly trap includes a tubular body which is triangular in cross-section. One exterior face is coated with a sticky fly catching substance. A flap is secured to a peripheral edge of the sticky coated exterior face. In a stored position, the flap overlies the sticky coated exterior face. In a fly catching position, the flap is pivotally spaced from the sticky coated exterior face, thereby forming a "V" shaped trough. An interior surface of the flap is also coated with a sticky fly catching substan...

There is provided a trap apparatus, which is inserted in a vacuum exhaust system sucking and discharging an exhaust gas from a process apparatus by a vacuum pump, for trapping a tramp material contained in the exhaust gas, said trap apparatus comprising, a trapping passage container inserted in the exhaust passage, at the upstream side of the vacuum pump, and a heating trap, housed in the trapping passage container, for heating the exhaust gas to a predetermined temperature while the heating tra...

A pest-trapping device that enables quick and easy containment of one or more rodents such as mice or rats. The device includes a container that may be easily manufactured in a unitary piece. A dowel is fixed between opposing walls of the container. A rodent access ramp spans a distance from the surrounding floor to the dowel. An entry hole is located adjacent to the ramp connection to the dowel to provide a rodent path into the container. A baited spinner is rotationally placed on the dowel so ...

An offset steam trap is designed for removing condensed water from a horizontal steam pipe to which the trap is connected. The body of the trap contains a ball valve for permitting limited water flow out of the pipe through an orifice, and the body has an offset portion or flow barrier between its inlet and the orifice. The body is installed with the orifice effectively below the center line of the pipe, to prevent water from collecting in the bottom of the pipe.

In order to support a bait which attracts a rodent into a trap, a recessed post member is formed on a lid member and secured to a post member formed on a housing member which is closed by the lid, using a tape which is lapped about the posts. The tape interferes with easy access to the bait so that a rodent will gnaw through the tape. Once the tape is broken its retaining function is removed and the door is free to close under the influence of a spring produced bias. The shape of the recessed po...

A bullet trap for use in pistol and rifle ranges employs one or more deflecting plates situated so that bullets entering the bullet trap strike the deflecting plates at an angle of between 15 and 20 degrees. The low angle of impact reduces wear and pitting of the deflecting plates which would occur if higher impact angles were employed, and reduces the production of airborne lead particles. The deflecting plates include curved portions which direct bullets toward a back wall and a final impact p...

A flea trap including a horizontally oriented base and a vertically oriented cover, the cover extending upwardly from the rear edge of the base, and the base extending forwardly from the bottom edge of the cover. The base has a horizontal insert tray slot adapted to receive an insert tray that has a tacky upper surface. The insert tray slot has an upwardly opening tray slot window, through which fleas may fall to land on the tacky surface, and access means for the insertion and removal of the in...

Insects are killed by passing through a fan mounted inside a shaft. A pair of agitator tubes having inlets in fluid communication with the exhaust in the shaft direct exhaust from the fan over bait provided to attract the insects. The bait is contained in a receptacle spaced upstream from the shaft and which houses a light source and optionally an auxiliary heat source. The outlets of the agitator tubes are inside the receptacle so that any exhaust diverted from the shaft into the agitator tube ...

A bait is provided particularly adapted for attracting and arresting mites such that when used in a particular trap it allows non-destructive collection of mites from a produce. This enables study and enumeration of mites to be more easily carried out than with previous bait/trap combinations. The bait takes the form of an aqueous gel body which is then mounted within an apertured container which forms the trap. The gel may further contain other attractant and arrestant components and its use al...

A crab trap having a tubular body formed of a netting material, a bait compartment in the tubular body, a weight compartment, and one or more looped snares which close about the leg or claw of the crab when the trap is lifted. The openings in the netting are sized to allow the crab to partially insert its claw into the bait compartment, but to resist withdrawal of the crab's claw.
