bottle trap

Bottle trap is a name used for several different objects. Among these are a device used in bathroom plumbing, as well as various traps that are made out of empty plastic bottles and which are used to trap animals as different as beetles, mice, fish and octopuses. This article is about the use of modified bottles to trap flying insects.
In this context, a bottle trap is a type of baited arboreal insect trap for collecting either prized or harmful frugivorous beetles, especially flower beetles, leaf chafers and longhorn beetles as well as wasps and other unwanted flying insects.

    Shallow seal bottle trap

    Have came across these shallow seal bottle traps on a basin in a vanity unit, was just wondering are these suitable for this application and what other applications could you use them for. Am I right in saying they only have a 38mm seal? Would this make them more prone to syphonage?

    I a fitting a bathroom basin which is semi recessed into units. I picked up a simple bottle trap but when I looked at the height of the outlet it would go straight through the bracing bar on the back of the unit.

    I know the answer is no.

    But I will ask anyway. If a basin waste pipe is too high for any conventional trap outlet when fitted to a new basin is there anything you can do to sort it other than drill a new waste or raise the basin on some mdf?
