can this trap be closed when you are ready to throw it away?

The yellow top is pulled up/open for use and it can be pushed back down when you want to throwit away. Its not a secure seal...... but it will close. I usually put it inside of a small bag and tie a knot before I put it into my large garbage bin outside.

I think so - I plan on throwing the whole mess in a plastic shopping bag, tying it in a double knot and then disposing of it and good riddance. The whole thing stinks to high heaven and I haven't seen an appreciable decrease in flies around here...call it the end of a disgusting experiment. Onward.

No. I don't think so. I didn't notice because i would not get too close to it due to the smell. Horrifying, but highly effective. If you buy it, examine the top before you open it. I failed to do so.

Not as long as you zip it up tight. I say that because if I have not totally zipped the closure my little dog can push it open with her nose.

Yes. The entire top is hinged along one side. You can open facing away from yourself and dump mice out.

In your freezer??? Why would you put it in your freezer? But the answer is no, that's not how it works. The "bait" is a special chemical that attracts the yellow jackets (not bees--bees are our friends!) into the trap. They go up through the hole in the cone in the center and become trapped and die. When it gets full of wasps, make sure that they are all dead, and then empty it into the trash. It is reuseable, although you have to replace the attractant maybe once n the summer. It's just a few drops on a cotton ball.

I see no reason not to. Should be just fine until you're ready to pull it out.

Simply, no. the trigger mechanism is very hard to engage without it setting itself off. It relies on friction between two small metal surfaces and it is very much like trying to remove one of the last of the "pick up sticks" - just when you think you got it - bang! Suggest that you get one of the larger one door versions. That is what I did. They have a flip back handle that is as easy to use as it sounds. I have caught racoons, possum, many squirrels, etc. just have to use the right bait.

Yes as long as the soil the trap is placed in is firm enough so the trap is stable enough to not tip over.

No; if you do that the filtering material will come out. Just soak closed and in a day it's ready!

Im not sure. I found it so useless for what I hoped to do with it that I dumped it after about a month. I would suspect if you kept it frozen it would keep indefinitely.

Observe the photograph of the trap. There are wire fixtures on each end that flip down and engage in tabs to hold the doors closed. When you want to release the trapped animal, you flip those wires up. When you want to trap, you flip them to the outsides so when the doors fall, the wires drop into the locking position. You probably just have them flipped the other way. Flip them to the outsides when setting the trap and you should be all good.

No, only when the net is full. It holds quite a bit before you have to empty it.

This is a great trash can. You close it yourself. I have three dogs and have never had an issue. I am sure if you forget to close it that is another story.

There is nothing to remove. Make sure the opening is slid open as that is that part you pull to close when disposing. You should be good to go from there. I hope this helped!

Yes, there is a dial on the unit that you can turn to the closed position. This is great if you need to have your cats inside especially at night.

yes, you can and should release any left over pressure before storing - it does not have a seperate valve to release the air pressure - it is done with the closing/opening handle

I believe the instructions tells you to dispose of what is left but I have used it up to a month later. You need to pose this question to the maker of the pesticide if you want a legal answer.ThanksJames

I don't believe you can close it at all and "lock it" without scrambling the combo. So if you want to leave it open and scrambled and then just have them click it closed on their way out you should be good to go. I have 3 of these on outside fence gates and we have been very happy with them.
