Is it safe to catch a butterfly with this? Sometimes they get inside and I need to relocate them.

I don't think so. I might try it, and their wings are so delicate they might get injured. I have no fear of attempting to catch them in my hands. They don't bite. Since it is long, you might be able to "guide them out" a window perhaps. :-) I just never attempted it so I am not sure. Possibly the smaller little moths might do better than a Monarch or Swallowtail butterfly. And I am always surprised, knowing how delicate spiders are, when I open the brush, how fast they run away and seem to be OK. If you do catch spiders, remember not to drop them on the ground. They can easily be killed that way. People don't know they travel long distances with the thread they weave and sail through the air with it. Just dropped, they can die. Hope this helps.

NO! It'll definitely squish its wings...also daddy longlegs can get legs squished..

I would think that it could mess up their wings. I would try some kind of net instead.

It's been bug proof for the last 2 years I've own it, but being plastic it can seperate from its sides and leave a space where bugs can get in. If I had a problem with wasps, I'd spray it inside with Raid a couple of times (spring and summer) and that usually kills tha problem.

My net had the tendency to come unscrewed and the collapsible net frame kept bending after extended use. As I was only using my net for insects, you might want to look for a shorter, sturdier net, especially if it is going to be used multiple times. If you're only going to be using this net once or twice though, you should be fine as long as you're not too rough with it. The netting is fine, yet very strong, so you shouldn't have a problem with that. Happy crawdad catching!

It's was very effective at chasing away a colony of feral cats from my large backyard. I live in south Texas, which has a lot of butterflies and all sort of birds. I initially set up three units. The devices did not appear to discourage birds and butterflies. In fact, they seemed to increase their visits to my yard after the cats disappeared.

this is a tropical plant and is very particular about its environment, as i live in New York i will not be putting it out side, that said i am sure if a bee where to go inside, it would would run the risk of getting stuck.

Might want to leave it on a surface that doesn't absorb the liquid, since the bait itself has is similar to that of a syrup. I'm sure something as simple as putting cardboard underneath the bait/trap would protect your floor if you were worried though

I have no knoledge over that. You might wanna ask someone that does on a butterfly forum or something. But I dont see why it wouldnt. Its a pretty good enclosure.

I don't see why not. It should still do the job. I've been using 2 of them for about 3 months now at my business and I love them. I've seen dragonflies try to fly in the building and they immediately get pushed to the ground. Keeping the cold air in and the hot air out isn't 100%, but it definitely helps a lot.

Being outside would not affect the use of this.. -- you do not need to swat, just hold it on them, and watch them sizzle. I would not leave it outside, but I see no issue with eliminating the outdoor pests with this as well.

I feel it is best to place it away from the house. You do not want bugs being drawn to the entrances of your residence. I had a problem with one of my Dynatraps, called the company and they refused to repair it. It is a "throw away" product. I will not purchase another one of their products. Worked well when it worked, but very short life. I would not recommend a person purchase this brand.

I did, food tends to fall there sometimes and I'm sure they crawl by there so I put one. This thing works miracles though I haven't seen any roaches for months and I would see a few a day before I got this stuff.

It is a good idea. My brother made sure he uses one after a snake got into the nest of a family of bluebirds.. Better safe than sorry.

It is open on one end. When baiting, I turn the unit off, and toss a bit of bait into the unit. You can then move the unit back and forth to position the bait just where you want it. I do not put my hand inside. Next, put a little bait outside the trap. I want some tease bait outside, and then evenly distribute bait throughout the unit, making sure there's some in the middle and at the end. I use bird seed for bait.

I leave it out for few months. I put them in the garage top shelf and top of the fridge. The trap gets dusty sometimes but I use the product until it gets full. I think some are defects or the moths are getting smarter or immune to the scent. Company will ship you replacements. The war against the moths are at a stalemate. I need another tactic.

I used about a palm full of food inside of the cage, opposite end of the trap door. You dont want to put the food directly on the other end otherwise they will pull the food out. You need to give them a reason to go inside to grab the food. I did not have to cover the cage and I was able to move a family of 5 from my area. Haven't had any issues since.

Sorry,can't help you there.I never used the trap (wrong insect). I would think that the seller could answer this question.

I do not know why the lures I received did not attract moths. They have work very well for me in the past and I ordered four of them. Would appreciatereply from SAFER
