How long does it usually take for all of the traps to open up after you get it and plant it? Mine has about 18 traps total and only 4 have opened up.

If the traps are staying closed, they are likely getting ready to turn black and fall off. This is natural when it has gone through the stress of a shipment and replanting. If a trap has a bug in it, it can take up to a week to digest and reopen, and if a trap was triggered shut with no catch, it may take two days to fully reopen at the longest.

Yes! I was quite surprised! I had Orkin coming for 4 months and no changes with my little critters, was still seeing them every day. Then I set these things out and after 4 days, I saw no critters again. I have not changed the traps for 5 months, but intend to do so at month 6, just to be safe. So I have been critter free for 5 months and 12 days, so far! UPDATE: I was going to change at 6 months, didn't... thought I would wait and see if I needed to. Well, I am at 9 months now and still no more bugs... I think I will be safe and change them out at 10 months. Already have my order in hand and ready to replace them.

A large boar raccoon did a number on my trap. I can't give a specific answer except that it took a lot of tweaking of the trip rod and the hinge loops on the pad to get it working again.

I planted it last year and have not seen any mushrooms yet. The kit says it may take as many as 3 years to produce mushrooms. So i dont think you would have any this year, but you never know

It depends on the herb. I managed to get nice healthy clumps of everything I planted. we just moved in so I had to start from scratch. I did try some indoors and they didn't do so well. I will post pictures the spring when everything comes back up

You need to buy the bait, we bought it at the same time on Amazon but it didn't look like the rats were going in the trap. We nailed pieces of the bait to the trees at night and removed it early in the moring. That work very well we no longer have a problem but we do check often to see if we need to treat again.

I've used about half the package and have only gotten 4 seedlings to coming up. I believe it says on the package how much area it's suppose to cover.

Don't even waste your time with trying to get it open, just send it back with an explanation and wait for one with no problems. You'll be by far, better of, and you'll have gotten what you've wanted all along, with a bit of an extra wait. Chances of damaging the one you have grow each time you consider another option. mail it! Good luck.

I bought 2 of these 4 months ago, I bought 1000 starter red worms and now have enough to start the second farm. I also have chickens and some day when I have extra worms, they may get a snack. I bought the 2 farms for the castings and the worm tea for my vegetables. Last summer a friend gave me some tea when my veggies weren't doing well. My garden thrived on the tea and chickens got fresh veggies. Jr at gameing_nm@yahoo.com

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. For animal release I just place the trap on the ground pointed to either side and open the door. The animal usually bolts out an away in one second. Proven method for 82 captures.

About 10-12 seeds.Look healthy . I planted 6 - only one came up after 4-6 weeks. I think I made the mistake putting in the seed in the soil the wrong way - the little pointed end should be put in the soil. keep seed pots in a tray of water. Good Luck.

I didn't put it in a trap, I just opened the pack and it worked fine for me. I used it in an outbuilding and it worked.

I have a grey thumb, and my stocks are growing AMAZINGLY! Get a small, regular size plastic planter (~1 GAL) that can drain well, and add potting soil. Dip the bottom tip of the stalk in root hormone, stick in soil, pack soil down... water until water exits holes of pot at the bottom. Place in full sun. I live in Texas heat, and I've kept mine outdoors. I watered mine every 2-3 days when I could see that the soil was dry. When you spot new growth (little budding leaves that look like devil horns), your lil fella is producing roots, and you should prepare to transplant to very large container or garden. Look around on the internet for tips. I found Lucky Bamboo Expert on youTube was helpful, and the info on plumeria.org was invaluable. I'm so proud of my 4 guys, and I'm excited to see them mature. I started mine around July, and they have produced small blooms throughout the summer. Go for it!

I just used a small pot with some regular potting soil in it. Planted three seeds, two sprouted, and one has lasted long enough to get a few leaves on it. My water is pretty hard and the soil is a little on the dense side, which may have contributed to the slow growth rate. But the one that has survived is about 2 inches now (one-two months).

I'm still trying to figure out if its ever going to grow. I've had in the ground for months, it's only grown a few inches, and sprouted just a few new shoots. Its in ideal temperature and healthy soil.

Like 15-20 days, but mines died after, i think they dont grow good in my region. Dont store it long time.

I have found the batteries to last about 6 -8 weeks with cheap batteries. It also depends on how many mice you kill at a time. I caught 20-30 mice I'm that first set of batteries. My second set has been in more than 2 months but less mice now. Maybe 5-10 mice this time. As far as cold weather I don't know yet. It hasn't gotten cold yet. Also the mice do stink if left in the tray for very long. Especially if it's warm weather. But in child weather I would think the opposite. I am very very happy with my trap. I am sure with high quality batteries You could get 5-6 months.
