No person shall trap or attempt to trap any animals within the City with other than a humane, live trap; provided, however, the provisions of this section shall not apply to the use of instant kill traps for the purpose of small rodent pest control. All traps shall have a metal tag attached plainly labeled with the owner's name and address. All traps, except those which are placed entirely under water, shall be checked at least twice every twenty-four hours. Officers appointed by the Department of Natural Resources, North Liberty Police officers, or the chief humane officer or said officer's designee may confiscate such traps found in use that are not properly labeled or checked.
