ABSTRACT:
An adhesive trap for capturing snakes. The trap includes a flat base and means for securing the base into position against a wall. A specially shaped non-adhesive crawling surface is adjacent the wall, and permits a snake to crawl onto the trap without encountering any adhesive. The crawling surface diminishes in width from its entry end to its terminal end, and is surrounded along its outer boundary by an adhesive capture area. The capture area includes a high-strength adhesive, such as that used in rodent glue traps. The adhesive-free crawling surface narrows sufficiently near its terminal end to cause a snake to throw a loop of its body laterally into the adhesive, either in the process of crawling forward, or when the snake attempts to turn around or pull back from the adhesive at the end of the crawling surface. The snake will be securely trapped when it pushes its chin down into the adhesive in an attempt to free its neck or throws a loop of its body laterally onto the adhesive area.
