Big glob of peanut butter. We put the trap where we wouldn't risk trapping any stray cats. I still have not found where he was hiding all the stuff he was stealing from us. My husband thinks it may all be under the porch. I think if we pull the porch up, I may find some missing tools! It's a 10" thick concrete porch set on the ground, and he tunneled under it. It's gonna take some work to get that porch up, but we'll be working on the foundation anyway, so who knows what all we'll find. (((stop here if you're squeamish)))) The good news is, I think, if the packrat was living under the porch, it should mean there's no rattlesnakes living under there. Maybe?
I'd rather have the drunk ninja.
