I put my fur up in a 10 x 12 foot heated space. High humidity has been an issue. Any ideas on how to address this?? Wood heat is not an option. I have either a propane heater or a electric heater to warm the space.

A fan to provide good air circulation with room heat 60F or lower.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

try to use electric if possible and that will help or you will need to compensate for the humidity with the options provided above

The thing about humidity Is It has to be removed and a fan will help but Its just moving It around.

Using all options and things are working out. The first rats came off the boards yesterday. Feels good to have finished that initial batch. [Linked Image]

Dehumidifier amd box fan. Also wipe down coons and otters a couple times while on boards.
