Skinner Trap Our skinner moth traps are approximately 45cm square and 35cm high and are constructed from exterior ply, complete with base and treated with a wildlife friendly preservative for extra durability. You can choose from one of the below moth traps with relevant electrics from our list, i.e. SK07, SK09, etc.   The 125w MV (SK07) is the most popular Skinner type moth trap and will maximise the catch. The light emitted from the bulb is very bright, like a security light. The ALS single 15w (SK09) or Twin 30w actinic trap (SK09a) is ideal for trapping in built up areas where neighbours can be a problem. Customer Comments (4) ALS (and yourself) came highly recommended by various members of the Berkshire Moth Group but even so I was delighted to receive my order before 10 am this morning. It's the service like yours that makes the difference.Wonderful trap. Mike Collins, Berkshire. Delivery was very prompt and the trap is a nice high quality piece of equipment. It has been fascinating to find out what species are in our garden when we are asleep. Heather Pymar, BTO, Thetford. I would like you to know how delighted I have been with the Skinner Moth Trap which my husband purchased from you in July for my 70th birthday. It has given me immense pleasure, even excitement. Many hours were devoted to identifying the 'catch' but I did get better! Gerald Evans, South Wales I've now got my hands on the two traps you sent me. They are very very nice! I didn't realise all the parts slotted together so easily, I can see why stability hasn't been a problem.I very much look forward to using them in the future. James McGill, Somerset

As you can probably tell well chuffed. Barry Hunt, Kent. "The best ever commercial Robinson Trap I have ever seen" Colin Pratt, Sussex county moth recorder. I've recently been using your Robinson 125W trap, quite the best trap I have ever used in 40 years since I started light trapping with a butane lantern and sheet in Hatfield Forest. Andrew Magnay, Staffordshire. A further testament to the design of your Robinson Trap......the night of 22nd June we had 23mm of rain driven by a wind that woke me on a number of occasions, because of, and only because of National Moth Night I had the trap on. I fully expected it to cost me a bulb which it didn't, further to that the egg boxes inside were all bone dry. Well done, Nick Candlish, Ayr.
