Ive put ground castor in a glycol to tincture it. I shake it up every time I walk past it from winter to spring. Then poured off the top of it once it's done and settled.
I put that in a flip top squirt bottle

Then I add more ground castor and glycol and do it again over the summer

Ive also done the same thing with glycerine

While the glycerine seemed to have a stronger castor smell i liked the glycol better. For no other reason that it was thicker and dispensed how I like from the flip top squirt bottle.
I used the both for beaver trapping with a squirt on mudpies.
I didn't do enough trapping/testing with them to see if one out performed the other bit both caught beaver.
It was my intention to use these squirted down a dirt hole but haven't as yet experimented with it.

You might get some rolling on the set if you squirt it down/around a dirthole. A liquid castor, like the Dobbins make, would cause this if used alone without food ingredients. But, if it’s foot action you’re seeking, canines should be all over it in the rolling process.

In my experience, liquid castor is good for beavers on a castor mound.
