ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method for controlling wild animals comprised of an attractant that entices the target wild animal, such as a coyote, to consume the apparatus. Upon consumption, a trigger, which may be covered by a portion of the attractant reacts with fluids in the digestive system of the wild animal, that is, if the fluids are at a predetermined pH level corresponding to the trigger. For if not, the trigger is remains in a state of inactivation, but if the pH is within the predetermined pH range corresponding to the trigger, the trigger is configured to dissolve. Upon dissolving of the trigger, a subduing agent activates causing terminal damage in the digestive system of the wild animal leading to its death. The subduing agent may include metal reactants, chemical agents, percussion devices, compressed sponges, etc.
