Depends on the soil. In my area its only good till high teen temps with light moisture low teens with no moisture. Any colder then that or moisture and you better start using waxed dirt or peat moss.

I have used it for the last three years now on fox and coyotes; used to use calcium chloride. I have had excellent results with it. No odor problems at all. I dig the bed, spray with glycol mix, cover with pre-sifted dry peat, top off with light ground cover and spray the top. I am only trapping for several weeks before real deep freeze, but traps have been very good down to the teens above zero.

Propylene glycol can be mixed with water too. Makes a bottle last longer I guess is what they say.

I don't care for that wet spot that occurs when using glycol. It's just not natural.

10-4. I doubt coon or bobcat would mind though.

I spray a 50/50 water glycol mix in the bed and where dirt will contact the jaws when I do my pipe dream sets. Since everything is covered with grass, critters don’t see a wet spot. BUT I quit before we get much nasty weather.

Can that be mixed with urine for texture and slow the evaporation rate? If so anyone know the right mixture?

Randy Smith in his Combines and Coyotes video mixed his 50/50 with coyote urine.
