After putting in a couple of 6 foot work benches, hanged four work lights I managed to take my NB trap down, took it apart. When I got to the trap house I found that red wasps had three huge nests. It tied the cantilever mechanism down that it actually stop movement.

The only way to get to the cantilever mechanism is to take 8 rivets out in order to remove the roof. All three nests were full of the little buggers. Clorox took care of all of them.

After cleaning I took most of the old mount and I was able to mount it back a foot lower. This made it look a lot smaller that it was before. I hope that this will discourage the sub-adults from venturing into this contraption and still inviting to a sparrow or a starling looking for a home
