I didn't save the thread but wanted to thank the contributor. The
rodent in a bucket trap works quite well. I had a critter scurrying out
of my garage every morning for awhile. I tried a mouse trap, I think it
just laughed at it. I was thinking about a live trap but didn't want to
spend any money on it and I really didn't care if the animal survived.
I put about 3 gallons of water into a 5 gallon bucket with a board
across and a board to climb up to it. Dumped some sunflower seed in it
and the next morning found a pretty good size dead rat in the bucket.
Haven't seen anymore but I'm keeping an eye out for the signs.
Thanks for the tip.
Ron
