I'm ramping up the tree rat eradication efforts. My neighbors have been dealing with attic infestations and I ain't having that shit. It would be so easy and rewarding to shoot them but it just isn't an option in town.
I got one in the Rube Goldberg-y ramp-to-the-rolling-log-to-the watery-death device, but then they figured it out and were getting the bait without getting got.
I re-jigged the device this morning. The new design should be more effective.
I picked up a couple rat traps of an improved design I hadn't seen before. I built a box for one this morning and have already got one squirrel. I have another box-set out as well, but so far they haven't gone to the marshmallow bait. Peanut butter is still king.
The box I built for the 110# conibear was too big and not baited properly. I built a new box this morning after doing some learnin' and figurin'. I don't really have a good place for it right now, with the other three already deployed on my little lot. Still fun to design and build though.

I just can't use 'em in town.
