The invention provides an animal luring device (1), comprising a) a first compartment (2) containing genetically engineered first microorganisms, the genetically engineered first microorganisms being genetically engineered in that they produce and release i) an attractant attracting an animal and ii) an active agent, b) an area or second compartment (3), which is freely accessible to the animal, and connected to the first compartment (2) in a manner that the attractant and the active agent are able to pass to the area or second compartment (3), whereas the genetically engineered first microorganisms are not, and c) a nutrient source for the genetically engineered first microorganisms. The animal luring device of the invention has an improved longevity.
