Eck. Bleck. Ew.

I caught  one in a trap a few months back. Then there was one more. And so =
long as it stayed back in the woods I was willing to live and let live.

But...

One turned into 4 ( a momma and 3 babies ) and by the way the cat and dog s=
tare at the corner of the porch for hours on end...they have moved in under=
 the step. And I've seen them leaving from there.

I bought more traps on Saturday morning. I will not use poison but what in =
your experience has been the best 'bait' on a trap? Right now I have peanut=
 butter....

Thanks=2C
Angela in Windsor
