We are having some issues with pitfall trapping in areas where the ground water is very close to the surface. In many palces, as soon as we put a pitfall trap in the ground it fills with water from the ground. In other places the traps fill with ground water after a heavy rain event meaning we lose traps to flooding. All of the traps have rooves to protect them from rain and debris but we're losing lots from ground water infiltration.

Has anyone found a way to get around this issue so that the ground water doesn't fill the traps?
