The Troyer V-Top Trap Plans contains a complete list of materials and assembly instructions for building and setting up the Troyer V-top trap. When completed, this large walk-in trap is designed to catch a large volume of starlings and House Sparrows quickly, and works great in rural and farm areas. Users in these areas often report catching several hundred starlings or sparrows in a single day! The V-top trap's success lies in its large size and repeating action. This trap never needs to be reset; Pest birds enter through the V-shaped top entrance, and can't find their way out. Trapped birds act as decoys, luring more birds into the trap. (Any native birds can later be released, unharmed.) The 5' x 5' x 8' frame breaks down for storage, and sets up in about 10 minutes.
Approximate cost of materials (not included): $100.
Completed trap is quite large and suitable for more rural setings.
