update to Project Fly Trap

agriculture, farm, pets, rural 0 Minutes

I posted a story of how to build a Manitoba fly trap in July of 2010. I had to make some changes and I wanted to bring those to your attention.

I ended up changing out the flimsy plastic to a combination of 1/4 plywood and screen fabric. It is mcu more sturdy and works very well. However, it is heavier and I had to bolster the legs because they started to crack under the increased weight.
