| nice loft david mate , nice traps you have made there. got mine to do yet . i want a similar style to yours but with maybe a larger landing board to try attract them to land straight on that rather than the roof otherwise i will go same way and have a shorter board so they dont hang around on a big board. it will be trail and error. . arethe traps used with ets pads ?? |

could have made them wider davey, but if i had it would have bloked the light coming in from the polly corbon window..............once they get used to them they seem to land ok on them. plus when im racing i trap through the open door, the traps are usually only for late comers. |

thanks paul, made most of them out of second hand pieces i had already used on the loft, bought a sheet of ply for the sides tho which wasnt that expensive and altogeather worked out a fraction of the cost it would have been to buy three sputnicks.......also in my opinion mine are stronger which is needed for cats possibly getting their paws in...... |
