E7484 Moonlander moth trap with new Goodden GemLight
New - redesigned Moonlander moth trap for field use in remote areas.
Moths enter from below preventing escape through the top. The trap has netting sides supported via three leg struts but easily dismantles to transport flat. Supplied with fitted carry bag - convenient for assembly and packing away.
The trap and new GemLight are lightweight so it can be suspended - useful on difficult terrain and in bad weather.
The new GemLight has UV and green emitters, very effective in remote places and will last all night on 8 AA rechargeable batteries (not included). No bulbs to break so never need replacing.
NB - Current price is special introductory price - usual price £266 + VAT
