Trapping year round.
« on: June 05, 2010, 09:42:11 PM »
 :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Been slaughtering the starlings lately but noticed that every morning I would have less birds in the mulch pile than the night before.  I set out my cage trap and put a bird in it but the next morning the bird was gone and the trap was not triggered.  There was a pretty well worn trail from a gap in my fence but it was too small for a opossum or raccoon, it must be a rat.  I set the trap in the trail and added a few more birds to the pile.  Second night out and got one.

Its WAR!!!   :chuckle: :chuckle: Got another one.  Its funny I have had traps set up around the rabbit hutch since I got them thinking that the hay and food pellets would attract the rodent.  Have not caught or seen rats or mice until I started killing starling.

Reminds me of my place.  I noticed some rat poop in the dog kennel one morning so I proceeded to trap it every night and I caught at least one every night.  We live right up against a greenbelt in the city and I think they nest there and head out into town at night fall.  I eventually stopped because the traps were starting to add up but I must have trapped around 30.  The biggest was HUGE, should of taken a pic, I showed the better half and now she wont go in the back at night  :chuckle:

30?!!!  :yike:  Maybe I should go get more traps.   :chuckle:  The good news is that they all look pretty clean.  No fleas or growths or anything.
