Snapped a few pictures of my SVB trap with one of them little bastards flying around it. Them things could care less that I'm sitting next to the trap with a camera. At one point there were two at a time flying around it. Yikes...
Tom would it make the trap work any better/worse to put the lure down inside the trap or not? 4 or 5 pics in my diary.

Bill, I will contact the manufacturer, for now, I would leave it as is.
Thanks for the pics!

If you can afford it, put two lures in each trap...one in the proper location and one in the bottom of the trap...no death strip....works well.

No vapor strip in the bottom? Wouldn't it make it harder to empty the trap or check the trap w/o live ones escaping?
Thanks Tom for checking on that. Reason for asking is right before I snapped them pictures there were actually two flying around the trap at the same time. One was quite a bit smaller(male&female both perhaps. They both hovered around it and flew away. Thought maybe if there was pheromone in the bottom also it would help lure them inside? 1320 has done it so maybe I will try that the next time I order more lures/vapor strip.
Tom you think the vapor strip in the bottom next to another lure would interfere with the scent of the pheromone?
I may just get another trap and set it up across the yard from my garden.
