Anyone else noticed the holes along the edge of the correx inspection tray are ideal holes for wax moths to lay their eggs in ? Mine are full of coccoons on one side.

Err, no. The SHB traps I have seen are much smaller section. The beehaus plastic is 8mm stuff.

We have informed Omlet.
The idea of the 3m/m correx shb traps is that the shb enters can't turn round and apparently can't reverse ergo becomes trapped.Taken from FERA site
"Adult beetle anatomy
Adult beetles are oval in shape, 5-7 mm long
and 3-4.5 mm wide"
So with as you say 8mm gaps in the correx sheet plenty of room for waxmoth and SHB when it arrives.
As I said earlier easier to fill the gaps in the ends with some sort of filler/mastic.
The ones I used on a day course with FERA were open both ends the beetles hide in them as they like the dark.
