I modified my second trap last night so that it should work just a well as the first mod'd trap. Now I just need to get busy and make 3 more.
It would go a lot quicker if I had access to a sheet metal shear or something to speed up the process of cutting out parts so they can be assembled. It takes a lot longer than I thought it would........ I've been using a cut off wheel on my hand grinder as that seems to be a lot faster than tin snips or heavy pliers for cutting the wire. One problem with the cutoff wheel is that the wire seems to be pretty hard on the life of the cut off wheel. The material I use is a roll of ~1/4 to 3/8 inch mesh wire like a rabbit cage would be made of.
My traps are a modified and homemade version of this: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=craw...ajaxhist=0
