Knocked out my first funnel round colony trap today. I have a roll of 14 gauge 1x1 wire but when I build more I'll get some 16 gauge. The 14 gauge is more than heavy enough. This one is 10" BY 36". The bars across the opening are ground fabric staples. I put in a 4"x8" door in the top for critter removal.

I have so many of those fabric staples I could build a thousand funnel colony traps. I used them a lot when I had a market garden. I have buckets full of them.
