I once noticed a phenominum while trapping rats below a federal resevoir. First I noticed that if you run traps after work, there were some tiny worms or maybe leeches in the water that attacked the rats around the eyes. By the end of the day, the eyes would be covered with these critters, and the fur would start to slip right by the eyes. Then one day, I was wading down the stream, and there was a dead bird laying on top of some cattails. I picked it up, and the head had been under the water, but everthing else was on top, out of the water. Everything below the surface of the water was clean to the bone, complete skull and neck bones, all held together by the cartalage yet! Never dicovered what those things were, but they were very good at cleaning tissue off of bones, and fast. That bird had not been there the day before!

My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Sure but I just turn a garbage can upside over the bucket and put a weight on top. Keeps critters out and helps with the odor. No concern with sealing the lid with a cord to the aquarium heater in the bucket.
