I don't use my repeating sparrow trap because I have more luck with Spar-O-Doors in my Trio houses so it needs a new home. Probably kind of late to use this year but will be good next winter for someone. Hopefully someone in the DFW area wants it, I'm not too keen on trying to box it up and ship it. Worked fine last time it was used, in good shape except for a few mud dauber nests here and there :grin:
Please PM me if you are interested

Thanks. I just saw that when I went to check mine :cry:

What happened?

Well if anyone is interested in this trap, just reply to the thread and we'll figure it out.

Thanks!

I don't want to hijack this thread, but a person who has an extra Spar-O-Door can get new life for it by a simple retrofit, using a Bo-9 gourd to mount it on. I had good luck with mine last summer.

My sparr-O-door works so well that I don't need anything else. But I don't have as much HOSP pressure as some people do.
