'The Triple' Actinic/BLB/Synergetic Skinner Trap

 

This trap was originally built to demonstrate the 3 different tubes types available. After using it myself for the majority of 2020, I decided to build a few more! 

These traps can be supplied with one of each; Actinic, BLB (Blacklight Blue) or Synergetic (Green Actinic) tubes. But can be used with all of one type if requested.

The trap is exactly the same dimensions as the 'Original' other than the 3rd tube is fixed centrally to a longer upright.

The wiring is connected to the outside of the trap by means of bell wire clips and posted into an internal built-in compartment. There is a 3 metre length of flex connected to a plug top and it is recommended that you use an RCD when using any outdoor appliances.

The traps are made from 5.5mm exterior grade plywood and externally mounted battens for rigidity. the unit weighs just over 4kgs, so easily portable.

Although not officially waterproof, I have run a trap like this for over 10 years and on occasions, it has taken a real soaking! I have still yet to have any issues with mine, but would not recommend leaving them out in the worst weather conditions.

All traps are supplied with 2x 3mm perspex sheets and egg boxes.
