What is the most you've take at a spot? These darn things are relentless!

i took 37 off a house in the woods last year.. they were driving the owners nuts! i could of trapped that place for 2 months. never saw so many at one place.

Well that's discouraging! I have one rat trap blind set with a big home made plastic pan. Had it out for 3 weeks, up to 14 munks so far. But, its at my house so checking isn't a big deal...

i set up close to 2 doz rat traps and live cages and just hammered those rodents. but there was still some left when i closed that job out. first check was chippers in every other traps with more screaming at me from the woods. lol

67

I'll be 70 in December and I'm expecting a lot of gifts. I think 67 was right but when you catch that many chipmunks, who knows? The customer did get a good deal. I was also trapping squirrels, raccoons, and opossums, so if I caught one of those, the chipmunks were free that day.

44

Sounds like good bait Curt !!!

I took 37 on my very first job , I guess that would be my record . Ended up catching 27 skunks there to with 72 animals total . That's still my record on any one house

Yup! Need more jars now!

Here I go again: Pesky, what kind of a house has 27 skunks? That sounds like the total you could catch for an entire large town.

My first paying job was Chipmunks, and caught 110 from her yard. The most skunks from one house at one time was 13, and we went back next year and caught 11 more. The college students that were renting it up on the SU hill, were pouring their bacon grease out the kitchen window onto the snow. Every cat in the area was walking through it and basically making a chum line for me ,bringing every skunk around back under this shack. It was on a fieldstone type crawl space,in very poor condition and almost impossible to exclude.

He had some kinda new mulch bought into his landscape that must of been just right for the light bug larva because the skunks just poured in . Had this one mama skunk drag off my cages with her kids in them . Took one of them cages and wired it up in a larger cage and had her a hour later . Not to long ago we had a lot skunks around been getting a few more this year than last . Mostly young ones . Maybe there on there way back up

I want to know the name of that mulch so I can recommend it to all my customers.

What's the best chippy baits?

snap traps... peanut butter.. cages, peanut butter granola. i bought a barrel 2 years ago for bear baiting and it cost me $100. I still have 1/3 a barrel left. squirrels and chippers and coon love this stuff.. and its cheap

Thanks. I have tried walnuts with no success.

Peanut butter on wheat bread works well for me

One of our techs has been having trouble catching squirrels in an area with an over-abundance of hickory nuts. There were so many squirrels and so many nuts, that I took this as a personal challenge. Our tech had used all the baits and lures in our arsenal to no avail. So I went back to basics. I smeared peanut butter on the far edge of the trap pan to hold in place a handful of corn kernels.

Every pan has been completely cleaned off. Mice seem to be a major problem. On the bright side I have caught five squirrels. If I don't get them all, the customer has already invited me back in October or November.

I would have fired that guy Paul . Doesn't do your customer much good to set traps on the ground and catch what ever squirrel . ADC is about catching the animal . Next you look at your add bill this why your need to run so much in adds . This how it's done Paul 5 squirrel in one trap .

My weasel boxes work, they are long enough for 2 wood rat traps, baited with the secret bait only used by ADC professionals.
