Default Got his *&@!

OK, so my dad and I are pretty close when it comes to sharing technical information. Thanksgiving he comes out with, "I always use meat on the trap." Huh? I had used bacon long ago, but this was news to me.

I put some leftover turkey in the trap and nailed the little bugger within 3 hours. This after I saw him run up under the dash and then the 'Service Air Bag' Msg. showed up on the way to church. I had tried to trap this guy a dozen or so times before the turkey, & he never even took the bait or triggered the traps. Never had that happen before in a lot of years of mouse catching.

I'm going for the poison wax block next and the fly paper stuff so I can set an example for the others. Where do you get those wax blocks?

Rich - What happens to me with the poison bait is that they drag it off and end up storing it all over the place in the car or wherever. I have found stashes of that stuff everywhere! Good idea on the water pan, I had not thought of that.
