Default I'll get those pesky squirrels .............

I have made mouse traps out of five gallon buckets, and a tin can on a wire
stretched over the open end. Wipe peanut butter on the can, and when the
mouse steps out on it, it spins and dumps the mouse in the water.

I have been fighting squirrels all spring. Tomorrow a king size version
goes up, and we'll see how the squirrels do. Going to get two more for
other positions on my property.

Will keep you posted.
