Homeowner calls and says

They can't trap rats, they're not going to the traps. Told them to remove the feeders and run traps. I was told that wouldn't happen because the birds will die. Okay....$$$ money money money mooooneyyy...munnnayyy! I love it..

DANG!

You could start collecting turds for mouse flat sets there.

I think those may be sunflower hulls and other seeds in the snow. I may be wrong.

Don't you just love folks who think the way that they do. Some guys have all the luck.

You're probably right. Have to collect them somewhere else then


What kind of trapping would you do there? I don't do mouse jobs, but I'm still interested...

When you have a draw station it sure makes the job easier. Set out side near the source of food and if there holes and access points going into a structure set in there as well.

Think weasel box!!

And your supposed to do what to catch them? Grab them when they come out.
Live traps maybe, will they accept that?

No live traps. I'm just going to run tunnel boxes which are just a longer type weasel box with multiple traps inside along the perimeter of the home, same type of application I run on my farm/commercial accounts that have birds, chickens etc. Along with a few rat boxes similar to weasel boxes little different set up and open snap traps. Ran a few traps last night with several catches, plan on lacing the place up after the storm that's coming in. Nothing more than snap traps which wont be placed near the feeders, boxes and bait, I keep rodent trapping very simple.

Nice catch! So do you skin'm too?

Darn that rat looks Fat! show'em to the owner.cuz it sure isn't bloat.
that's what high quality bird food does.

They know all about them, that's why I'm there. Once this storm passes I plan on laying an all out assault on them. I'm sure there's plenty more fatty's where he came from. Funny, they still refuse to take the feeders in. They were made aware that those feeders reflect on the price. They were fine with it. To each their own.
