PROCEDURE TO BE ADAPTED FOR SETTING UP OF TRAP CAGE DESIGN-MODEL

• First understand on the food habits of the concerned wild animal species
• Design a suitable trap cage that may vary from species to species or use the already available trap cage-model that has been specifically designed for this purpose.

• Draw the line diagram of the exhibited design-model and indicate the parts
• Take the trap cage to the concerned area or in the pathway of the concerned animal species that has more chances of visit by the concerned animal species.
• Place the trap cage at suitable position for the entry of the concerned or targeted animal species.
• Select the suitable bait material first.
• Hook the bait material inside the trap cage design model, developed.
• Fresh feed based bait may be chosen for this purpose.
• Check up the hooked bait material, so that even a slightest movement of the cage may lead to the closure of the trap cage design-model.
• The trap should be inspected every 12 or 24 hours.
