Hi Angela
I've had good luck tying a peanut on the trap trigger
with string. scatter a few peanuts around the trap so they will
get used to taking them. Sort of bait them=A0 up.
If you can see the hole where they go, put a garden hose in the hole
and turn it on and let it run. They don't like wet beds.
Good luck
Paul

Eck. Bleck. Ew.

I caught=A0 one in a trap a few months back. Then there was one more. And s=
o long as it stayed back in the woods I was willing to live and let live.

But...

One turned into 4 ( a momma and 3 babies ) and by the way the cat and dog s=
tare at the corner of the porch for hours on end...they have moved in under=
 the step. And I've seen them leaving from there.

I bought more traps on Saturday morning. I will not use poison but what in =
your experience has been the best 'bait' on a trap? Right now I have peanut=
 butter....

Thanks,
Angela in Windsor
