👉 Rattletraps are a type of trap that is commonly used in the United States to catch animals such as foxes and raccoons. They are made from metal or plastic and are designed to mimic the sound of a rattlesnake, which can be heard when a rattle is played. The traps are typically hung from trees or other structures and are used to trap animals that have escaped from their enclosures or who may be hiding in the bushes.
