Abstract: Improved animal bait composite materials comprising an animal attractant substance component attractive to a selected animal and a hardening substance component, and methods of use of such bait composite materials are described. The bait composite materials disclosed having improved adhesion and interlocking properties when hardened after application to a trigger of an animal trap in a flowable state, resulting in more reliably transferring forces applied by the bite or other contact of a selected animal to the trigger to actuate the trap.

Abstract: A powered cleaning apparatus is provided for routine cleaning of both moderately soiled and severely stained toilet bowls. The device comprises a motor, fluid pump, and cover universally mountable on toilet bowls, and provides a continuous recirculated spray of cleaning solution fluid onto all interior toilet bowl surfaces. The continuous contact of cleaning solution fluid cleans the interior bowl surfaces without manual effort.
