That may have been me.

Another thing I do is make enhanced trigger mouse traps.

These traps don't need bait. Just put them near a runway like against the wall or next to a bait block.

For the five gallon traps to work they need liquid. Water if you don't freeze. Antifreeze if you do. If you have any animals you care about use RV antifreeze. Auto anitfreeze will kill any animal that drinks it and the sweet taste and smell attracts them. It is a painful death.

Now you are catching them in your shed. The next step is to get them before they get in.

The 7" length on the "T" does allow racoons and possums to get at the bait. I let them. If you don't want them to get the bait use 10" for the length of the "T" sections rather than 7".

I place these around the buildings where I think the mice get in. At least one on each side and I place one on each side of the doors to my barn.

My next step, not instituted yet, is an additional ring of feeders around the house and barn. About 25' or so out.

The feeders need to be staked to the ground or otherwise secured or the racoons will drag them off trying to get the bait blocks out.
