Lots of canning things...he speaks about the 'fraises de bois' as you do. I am going to have to plant some this spring!<br />Kathy The Cat LadyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321860267981127331.post-5477398205329809502009-11-28T10:29:07.097-06:002009-11-28T10:29:07.097-06:00Thanks Dave.

The vole like to make and use tunnels - y...Hi Carl,<br />The vole like to make and use tunnels - your trap is thus a ready made feeding tunnel for these critters. Hopefully they will like your baited space and will feed themselves to death. One uses the trap to prevent other animals especially birds from consuming the bait and to keep baits dry.<br />Yes, you will need to use a poison pellet bait that you can get at the farm store or hardware store - I will give you the names of the two I am using but I would rather not use brand names. I have one with "Bromethalin" and one with "Zinc Phosphide" as I am trying to find the most effective one.<br />The smaller length at the top of the "T" is the fill tube because if you pour bait in one end of the tube it has the tendency to fall out the other end so the center tube is the fill tube. That tube can be longer and in the winter it is that tube that I cap and have vertical so I can fill through that ares and not have to dig the trap out of the snow because these critter make snow tunnels and use them to go to feeding areas. If one does not use a cap water gets in and ruins the bait.<br />You can also go to your local Extension web site and see what bait they are suggesting. However, I have never had any luck with the poison peanuts in the yellow cones that are suggested sometimes as a vole bait.<br />Happy GardeningDJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11127594980460503799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321860267981127331.post-88641292641816699972009-11-23T08:16:23.378-06:002009-11-23T08:16:23.378-06:00Hi Dave,

Do you use poison in the trap or does the trap "kill" the voles. I also did not understand your comment about putting the trap vertical in the snow with end caps.<br /><br />Can you explain OR give me a web link.<br /><br />Thanks for your great blogs!<br /><br />CarlCarlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05871797266933288127noreply@blogger.com
