I have a question. I have a big problem with flying squirrels and I was looking at your repeater trap, which looks like a good way to clear out large numbers in less time than a single-catch trap. However, my wife bought a have-a-heart live trap which I set out on a roof ledge a couple of days ago and came back to find the trap sprung AND the bait (almond paste on the trap mechanism) entirely gone. Could it have gone in, sprung the trap and left through the mesh? Is it possible that the flying squirrels are small enough to get through a 1" X 1/2" opening? That's how small the wire mesh is in the trap I have, and I notice that it's the same mesh size as your repeater. I'm just double-checking before I shell out for a repeater trap.
