Need help with colony sets

[UrbanTrapper]

Aaaaahhhhh.......... Wouldn't it suck if it was so easy? I'm scratching my head a bit right now too. I was catching most of my rats in den sets. Now I'm catching ALL of them in runs. I would like to lay all of them in one or the other but don't dare to. Has your floater been producing?

Try some 12 x 12 to 8 x 8 cages baited with sliced apples on the mud banks right next to the water under bridges.  Put a couple of apple pieces in the water and near the trap entrance so they get the idea.  I think the rats can smell the apples well and they feel comfortable coming out of the water under bridges.

I am truly struggling now. For some reason my numbers have seriously dropped off. I moved to bigger water but its too deep to walk in a lot of places and to small for a boat. If I could figure out the floaters and baited dry baited sets I think I would be back into them.

WAUrbanTrapper,

The 12x12 and 8x8 traps you are referring to are they colony traps or live traps? I haven't tried setting traps on the dry ground before.
