Marmot ADC job, questions for anyone w/ experience - 08/10/22 06:44 AM
Here is some background im doing a marmot adc job right now. The job is located in a fairly large town. The marmots are located in a large maybe 10 acre field split about 1/3, 2/3rds with a dry ditch. The field is flanked by commercial business. I have noticed marmots on this property for at least 5 years. The amount of sign (trails, dens and scat) is very impressive.
After about a month process, before I could set traps the field, that is planted with pasture grass, has been cut and bailed.
I've had cage traps set for about a week now and the only thing I have connected with is a skunk. The only other animal I've seen are a few farrel cats. I'm using carrots, apples and other vegetables as bait. I'm setting on sign.
It almost appears that they have all absconded. We have had a few days of heavy rain. Does anyone have any advice or experience with this? Again the amount of sign surly indicates a large population.
Thank you,
Jonathan
