Wanna know the secret to successful trapping?
Read no further unless you want to read the previous 2300 reviews. I did. Here's a summary. The trap works great. It takes just seconds to figure out how the 2 metal rods are supposed to make contact. As others have done, I filed flat spots on both rods to create a bit more surface area for better contact. But here's the real secret: Apply your bait (peanut butter) to a small rock. Animals will push and pull it off the trigger, trying to lick it clean. No more center of balance. Bam! I add a few pumpkin seeds to draw them in. My quest is chipmunks. One gets over the cuteness factor quickly. Last year my pea pods were completely decimated and tomatoes weren't much better. I've had this trap in operation a few days. Expecting great results. Aside from chipmunks, caught a possum and several weasels. Had no idea they were around. We like weasels. They eat chipmunks. And they are quite adorable. See my photos. Happy trapping!
