I don't know why. I know even in northern Wisconsin they have larger family groups. How many are in that cage?

Back in '08 I was avg. 14, and had many houses with 20 or more. 28 (twice) is my record. The most I've caught in one trap in one night is 22. EBL, yes, excluders work, but if you miss a hole, the noise continues and you don't know if it's mice or squirrels. I don't do mouse work, so it's a pain going after the "squirrels" they keep hearing, but aren't there. With a colony, I know right away whether I found all entries (trap is full) or if I missed a hole (trap empty or only one catch).
