Why are there the two small bridges over the trap? Wouldn't bugs be able to cross the trap using these bridges?

There aren't any bridges. Its two independent concentric circles that dont touch or overlap in any way

Look closely at the large picture -- the gaps on the "inside" of the trap only lead to one of the "valleys" to trap bugs, the other gaps lead from the outside into the other "valley." The two valleys do not connect. So the shorter valley should end up with bugs trying to escape from the inside of the trap and the longer valley should end up with bugs trying to get to the inside of the trap. Frankly I have been using these and have found no bugs trapped in them at all. I also bought the larger type (ClimbUp brand) and those actually trapped some immature bedbugs.

There are ridges on the inside wall between the two bridges. The outside has ridges all around the outside except between the bridges. My guess is the ridges on the outside may help the bed bugs get into the larger channel. Meaning the bugs came from the floor. If the bugs are in the smaller area between the bridges, the bugs came down from the bed.

All of those, wasps, bees, and flies, are generally a lot faster and more aware of their surroundings and danger. If you are lucky (and brave) enough to actually capture one of these, I believe the bristles are strong enough to hold the little critter. Catching them up against a window would be easiest since they "think" they can get away. What you do with them once caught would be the real question. If you want to release them outside then that's pretty simple. If you want to flush them, that may be more of a challenge. But if you are asking if the Catcher is strong enough, the answer is yes.

They don't have insecticide nor do they have anything to attract the bugs. They're entirely passive, just a patch of very strong glue on a piece of paper. Bugs are VERY predictable. They like to skitter around where the wall meets the floor, so just put the traps near the wall and in corners.

I don't think it would be a good idea to use these outside, they'd get covered with bugs, and god knows what else. Why would anyone want to catch mice outside?

If they are small. A bunch of flies or small spiders, yes. Works AMAZING, just has a receptacle area that's fairly small. I just ripped a regular sized Post it Note into 6 pieces and scrunched them up. The first try, the BugZooka captured 3 of the 6 pieces. I "reloaded" and captured 2 more. The last (biggest) piece took 3 more tries. Most bugs would run off by then!

If the bugs float to the bottom, it will get them. I have a crazy millipede problem in my back yard and they all seem to like to jump in the pool and die. That is what prompted me to get the auto pool cleaner in the first place. This canister traps them.

As I have caught NO bees, I cant answer for sure but trap construction would seem to indicate bees are drawn to the light and would be unable to retrace their path to freedom.

Yes, definitely. Not even a mosquito or ant can fit through the mesh holes...they are truly minute. The only entry point is the zippered entrance OR if there is a tear somewhere. The mesh is pretty tight.

No. The glue board slides into slots on the light which the boards were designed for. The light attracts the bugs, and the glue board side facing the light (sticky side) captures the bugs.

this will get mice, to avoid this put the trap in side a box with holes a bug can get in but a mouse can not. the spiders will love entering your box and then get in here, but the mice will move around the box. keep in mind a mouse can get in any area his skull will fit in, dont make the holes too big.

It might be necessary to adjust the catch mechanism to lighten the trigger weight. This isn't uncommon for most live traps. Just grab a pair of pliers and adjust the catch... Be careful not to overbend the metal catch...

Sorry, I do not have an answer for that without knowing the circumstances. Maybe the traps are not filled with enough water ?? I never had problems with any of mine. Wish I could be of more help...

The smaller would better fit the wheels but the idea is to trap the darn bugs. We bought some of each size (36 total) but neither size trapped any bug. Better to just spray pesticide with growth inhibitor in to until they disappear. Good luck.

Insects are attracted to it. You will draw the insects to the house. I do have mine close to the house because I have a pond close by. I placed it between the pond and the house. It is about 5 to 10 feet from the house and always worked well. it stops the bugs coming from the pond, mainly mosquitoes. The units I received didn't work but I managed to fix it. By design, it isnt as effective because the insects have to fly between the 2 screen pieces of the grid. I then purchased a flowtron unit which has 2 pieces, but they are intertwining pieces which means that the bugs only have to fly through one grid area to be killed.

I imagine that it's possible, but I have not had that problem. Then again, my screen is not fully extended. I think insects entering is less likely if the screen is not fully extended.

If the bugs are small enough. The catching container trap is about 1" dia. by 2" long.

Voles as I understand them are basically the size of a mouse. They are t0o small to trigger the trap. More importantly, they do not tunnel along the surface so this trap would not work for that reaon as well.
