Mike Uhl

name My name is Mike Uhl and I am the founder and inventor of the Fatal Funnel Traps including both the Wasp and Hornet Trap and Fly Trap. My goal was to create a low- cost affordable trapping device for those people who required several traps around their property, but were reluctant to purchase the higher priced traps on the market… and then re-purchase the expensive lures and baits. I started with the idea of using the most common container available… the 2-liter bottle. Why sell and ship the container when re-using a 2-liter bottle makes so much sense. That would only inflate the cost of the traps to you the consumer.
