Trap nonet? No, no (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

net

'trap' is the definition.
(net is a type of trap)

'nonet? no no' is the wordplay.
'no' is a deletion indicator.
'nonet' with 'no' taken away is 'NET'.

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "Fish trap after deductions?" , "Ultimate" , "Capture" , "Cricket practice area" , "Mesh; after tax" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
