This is an old question. Entrapment laws change from state to state in the U.S., but all of them are pretty consistent. Entrapment is encouraging someone to behave in a way that they would not otherwise behave. Mearly affording somebody the opportunity to commit a crime is not entrapment. In any case, private citizens cannot entrap: only law enforcement agencies.
Entrapment isn't an issue, if you set one up the defense will claim that you were "maintaining an attractive nuisance", the same as putting a sign saying "DANGER! PIRAHNAS!" on a pool or pond in the hopes of keeping kids out of it.
