Most of us that use the steel pellet traps inside the house have probably cut pieces to cardboard to fit the opening of the trap and taped it in place.
I got tired of cutting and taping and thought there might be a better way. That's when I decided to use the Glad Press-N-Seal self-sticking wrap.
I simply pull out and tear off enough wrap that will fit over the opening of the trap plus about 4-5 inches on both sides of the trap. Then place it across the opening. It is actually strong enough to prevent the pellets from coming back out as some do without a covering over the opening. Nevertheless, if a few get out, they harmlessly fall on the big cookie sheet that the trap is sitting on.
I will admit that I replace the wrap a little more often than I did the cardboard but it's faster than cutting and taping the cardboard.
Hope this works for some of you.

Good idea. I wonder if I seal it over a colored cardboard and spray painted it, would it make a cheap splatter target?

I might try that myself and see if it works.
