Hello Jean,
Same trap we use here...... once I used left overs scraps from dinner on
a small paper plate (left over baked chicken). Make sure the bait is all the
way to the back of the cage. Next time I used some cat food. These critters
will eat just about anything. Almost destroyed the storage bins we have our
various bird seeds in. Can not keep suet cakes out on the trees, or foot our
for the ground feeders. they have destroyed a large three tube feeder that
cost a small fortune this time around. We place out cage in the area where
they came consistently... inside the root cellar where the bird seed was
stored. Making sure the bins for the seeds were secured so they would go for
the bait.
Believe we have 3 more to go... I saw a family of 5 here last fall.....
