I made 2 swarm traps that wound up bigger than expected. Will that affect how well they attract swarms?
I loosely followed these plans:
https://horizontalhive.com/how-to-build/swarm-trap-free-plans.shtml
which makes a trap with about 14 gallons of volume.
My traps wound up at about 19 and 30 gallons mostly because I used wood that I had on hand and was avoiding making too many cuts.
Trap 1:
approx 19 gallons
6 deep frames
interior: 9.5" wide, 19" deep, 24" tall
Trap 2:
approx 30 gallons
7 deep frames
interior: 14" wide, 21" deep, 24" tall
