Repeating animal traps incorporating one or more inclined plane trap assemblies with means to preclude an animal on the tilting floor member of the trap assembly from engaging the top and/or side edges of the door member of the trap assembly in an attempt to escape from the trap by pulling the door member down to thereby unblock access to the entrance opening. Additional means are shown to preclude an animal within the enlarged holding chamber or enclosure of the repeating animal trap from engaging the inner end portions of the floor member in an attempt to escape from the trap by pulling the floor member down, enabling the animal to climb onto the floor member and then attempt to pull the door member down to escape from the trap. A barrier in the form of sharpened projections and/or an inclined ramp is provided beneath the inner end portions of the floor member to discourage an animal entering or nesting within that space when the floor member is raised in the reset position of the trap assembly. The barrier can include an inclined ramp whereby the space between the floor member and the ramp is decreased as an additional animal enters the trap assembly, to push an animal beneath the tilting floor member back into the enclosure.

A method of making a tubular member such as a bird feeder hopper having offset members extending integrally from the inside surface of the peripheral wall thereof into an internal cavity. A sheet-like member is initially formed with a plurality of wall sections interconnected by integral hinges and the offset members integrally formed on one surface thereof. The sheet-like element can then be folded or pivoted about the integral hinges to form the peripheral wall of the tubular member, with the offset members extending into the internal cavity defined thereby and the edge portions of the end sections secured as by heat sealing, complementary locking members, or a combination thereof.

The use of a black housing in an electronic trap utilizing light to attract flies to an access opening in the housing with disposable glue or adhesive fly paper sheets overlying the light source in the housing has been shown to attract and capture many multiples of targeted insects, particularly in a fully lighted room, when compared to a fly trap with a white housing.

A bird feeder includes a hopper having a transparent shell with a spiral internal divider which forms segregated spiral compartments to feed a plurality of different types of bird food. A coupler having segregated vertical chambers, each aligned with an exit end of each segregated spiral compartment, directs the bird food from the hopper to separate feed openings. A seed catcher is attached underneath the coupler and a domed cap covers the top of the hopper.
