I use this along with waxed sand.

Looks like rock salt. I pulverize to smaller salt like size and put it in the trap bed UNDER the waxed sand.

For those using ice melt, how many issues with deer do you have at your sets?


"My feeling is this, give him plenty of time, plenty of birds, and a little direction, and he'll hunt his heart out for me. That's all I ask."

None. I have found that location creates more issues with deer than ice melt or even urine.

I don't see any difference. But the trap always fires.
