I have forgotten the answer to this and could not tell on the details on the PMCA Shop. I believe I am correct by saying most martins can not fit in the spare-o-door entrance. Am I correct?
Thanks for any response.

The hole on it is quite small, I have never caught anything but sparrows. But I do always check carefully, I think it is too small for martins.

Thanks Suzette, I just had to make sure, I knew the answer but needed reassurance.

A blue bird will fit. I have had to release several from this trap door so be careful.

Thanks electraglideman. I will be careful, I do monitor the traps I just was gonna take off the spare-o-door off completely since my 1rst martin came today and go back to shooting and using my ST1 trap if the martins were able to enter.
