• Additional cap to vent, working as a trap for wax moths, which can go in, but can’t go back out.
• Well sealed inner space with bumblebee nests, using a polycarbonate plate tight fitting a wooden edge.
• Legs fitting to plastic bottle caps, which, if filled by biologically degradable oil to motor saws, works as a barrier to a crawling insects, such as ants.
