Got a pack rat that has moved in to one of the buildings at work and boss asked me to get it out. Was thinking about one of my marten boxes with a number 1 right inside it then bait in the back. Never messed with them before so looking for some advice. Thanks.

They love collecting things of novelty for their nests. I lose many trap pan covers, fiber fill etc., from exposed cat traps made from rubber shelf lined sheets like you find in rolls at Walmart. It comes in various colors. Get some # 2 traps or even 1.5 traps and glue or gum band the material to the pan, set with a light trigger pan setting and stake or wire them to a tree or nail it with a staple on something secure. They can be spooky of new objects like boxes etc. Just set along their travel ways to and from the hut area.

In AZ I use the common rat trap with tin foil on the pan and bait under

I think I will try a koro in a cubby with something shinny,,,,,, the next time I am down.
AZ nest clean ups are the worst,,,,,all cactus...
