The trap is a weasel box trap. Sometimes people bait them but other times t=
hey rely on the weasel's curiousity for investigating holes. And sometimes =
they leave a grain trail into the trap and along the floor to attract mice =
which act as bait to bring in weasels. =0A=0AThere are videos online and in=
fo should you want to build one. I have friends who have used them outside =
their chicken coops.=0A=0ANancy=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A_____________________________=
