Love live trapping. Feels so much better than kill traps. All critters need the chance to live and do their thing!Garden Progress
Friday I finally had the gardener transplant the cherry tree in the ground next to the screen room. It is already getting greener and it is looking all together happier.
When I took the cats outside on Sunday morning, one of them was very interested in the rat trap I have sitting in the garden. I figured that he was just picking up residual smells from when I caught the rat a couple of months ago.
Nope!
There was a fresh new rat in the trap! Without using bait! I showed them the rat and they were very interested. Then I took it to the wildlife refuge and released it. They were still looking for it when returned. I set the trap back up and we will see if I get anything else.
Spent the afternoon and evening stapling up the holes from the early construction. I was using a hand stapler then. Now I have the high powered staple gun with long staples. Got 99% of the holes done. I will finish up today.

Same one I use. Mine might be a little smaller but same basic design. I love carrying it over to the park and opening it and watching them take off..I had roof rats 10 years ago and used the regular traps. One day I checked the trap, and it had struck the rat in the center of the back. The rat was paralyzed but not dead.
I put the rat (trap and all) in a 5 gallon bucket and drowned it. It was very traumatic. I knew there had to be a better way.
Googled and found this trap:

Got the large one.
Now I let them go in the wildlife refuge 2 miles from my house.
