ABSTRACT:
A timing device for use with live animal traps accurately and easily maintains the elapsed time since an entering animal caused the trap door to close. The timing device uses a switch that senses trap door closure to activate a timing module. All components of the timing device mount unobtrusively to the trap so as not to hinder its operation and, for collapsible traps, to allow folding of the traps for storage and transport.
