[QUOTE="Adam M, post: 1824879, member: 63469"] I too wondered about this, glad someone posted it and got an answer. I know some people who use a large piece of material (such as a for sale sign) to completely cover the trap to stop things escaping. I use a couple of old magazines and just fill the gap with them. My other question is what do you do with a haul of 100+ moths? My garden aint massive so the birds would have a feast if I let them go here. Would it be best to wait until it is dark and let them leave naturally? Or take them down the local fields after IDing everything and let them go in dribs and drabs?? Not too big of a problem at the moment, but for future reference. Adam [/QUOTE]
