Rolfe 2 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nice job Richie.............use peanut butter spread and fresh peanuts mixed in as an attractant and you will soon be reducing the grey population. Often though.........baiting is not required as they will enter out of curiosity. Rolfe. Quote Link to post

Rolfe. cheers.... thats what i used. a smearing of peanut butter & some peanuts thrown in, works a treat... the lady has had them causing havoc in her garden. they`ve just started making their way up the side of her house & scratching away at the soffit & facia board, so she has decided to nip it in the bud now.... rich Quote Link to post

Rolfe fair play.... i will do.. the only problem with this job is that im very limited to where i can site the traps. the woman has her daughter & grandchild "10 year old" living with her & the friends are always playing in the garden & getting up to what kids get up to. the trap pictured is approx 5 metres up on the only suitable area. after i sited the trap i removed all the lower branches just as a precaution incase one of the kids decided it would be a good idea to climb the tree. so im going back tomorrow & placing another 3 traps on the same tree as that is where most of the squirral activity is. rich Quote Link to post
