I went away from using wool . Mice were always pulling it out of the hole .
I'd Rather Try And Fail Then Not Try And Succeed

I've had better luck with q tips or cotton balls in my area, doesn't mean it won't work here though.

Pack rats like just about anything that is not natural to their environment. They like to put these things into their huts for building material or just to show off to the the rest of them just how special they are.
In some areas of the West where I trapped they gave me fits taking my fabricated pan covers off my cat traps from my trail sets. Sometimes nightly. Some weren't so lucky tho. ^^^^^^^ this similar to my experience with sheeps wool. I had the idea = to wrap it around the end of bamboo lure sticks. Hold lure better = worked great in heavy rain for this purpose. Caught 11 or 12 coyotes on 2 week job. Moved to next job. Had bout 50 of these pre made. Started setting them out with my flat sets. THEN. Desaster. Yep. Everyone of them got toted off. Or tore up. Or pulled apart. Even the birds. Got hold of them. So what did i learn???? Even though i only move 40 miles done the road. Wool. May not work here like somewhere esle
