Abstract

The design and construction of the Nitse trap are described. The materials required are: royal blue cotton, black cotton, mosquito netting, brass pipe, metal rods and galvanised wire. The cutting and joining of the various parts to produce the trap and the method of placement are also described. Finally a rough estimate of the cost of the trap is given.

Résumé

On a decri le dessein et la construction du piège Nitse. Les materiaux exigés sont le drap bleu royal, le drap noir, le filet contre la moustique, le tuyau de laiton, les baguettes de metal et le fil galvanisé. On a decri aussi les methods de couper et d'affilier les pièces différentes pour produire et placer le piège. En somme, on a presenté une evaluation approximative du coût du piège.
