Wow….that’s quite a storm. We had really scary winds here but we haven’t gotten much snow – just a few inches and now it’s mostly gone.

I think there’s directions in the sticky notes at top. I’ll look. I think it’s similar to before.

I must not have seen the right photo of the trap online because it didn’t look like a repeating trap. I’ll look again.

Dale, they won’t mind being in a box that high. That height is not necessary though and I wouldn’t have one that high because it’s so difficult to monitor. Will you be monitoring your box? The rule of thumb is at least 5 feet to the hole entrance.

I use peanut butter, lard (in the bucket from Walmart), cornmeal, oatmeal, flour, sugar (melted with lard and pb), and sometimes eggshell, sunflower seed chpd, etc.
Lubricator….sugar mixed in with yor lard and pb mixture might help. It seems most of the recipes call for it. I use Bet’s recipe. She’s the one that wrote Sialis website.Tammy
Yikes. I’m thankful we don’t have many rat snakes up here. I know a lot of purple martin landlords that have to use netting under their houses because of snakes.

What?!! That’s crazy. Where are you from? I can’t remember. There’s a few inches of snow on the ground here this morning.
Tammy
That’s not a repeating trap though, right? Please don’t give up on the Repeating Trap. It’s not the easy season to catch HOSP but it will soon be. You’ll be **AMAZED** how many this trap catches…if you have a ton at your place. It just takes awhile to get the first one. I put mine directly on the ground.

Hi, Randay. Welcome. This forum moved about a year ago and many of the people haven’t moved with us so it’s a little slow right now but probably will pick up with nesting season starting. Glad you’re here.
