Summary: 
A harp trap deployed (a) less than optimally and (b) properly. More bats will be captured when the trap is placed in a fly way, such as along a track, and with vegetation on either side and above, than in the open as shown on the left. Adjust the legs to the height which maximises filling the gap in the vegetation. Guy ropes from the top corners of the trap should be tied to pegs or adjacent sturdy vegetation to ensure stability. When checking the bag, keep the bag ties done up and lower one side of the bag carrier as shown on the left. Doing so enables easy access to the bats while reducing the space within the bag from which bats could fly out. Photos by David Watson (a) and Lindy Lumsden (b).
