what if you put poison bait in trap to avoid drowning?

What a horrible way to die! Drowning takes a few seconds (less than a minute) poisoning takes hours and is terribly painful.If it were you, and you were diffidently going to die, would you rather go quick or bleed out through you innards? Killing living things is never supposed to be easy. Do the responsible thing or don't do it at all.

That would work and poison bait is what I used to use. Switched to traps because of the high cost of the bait and that I didn't like the idea of the dead ones laying around. Were I used to have hundreds of squirrels 2 years ago I now only occasionally have one. The breeders are gone

I wouldn't do it. Smaller animals could get in (and out) and consume the poison, then other animals would be subjected to it. We're not into drowning, either. We just don't want to share our space with the critters. Our goal is always to relocate the squirrels into the woods in an unpopulated area, at least 10 miles away.

It is a hazard to pets and non target wildlife and oftimes illegal to disburse poison bait in other than an approved bait station. This item is a wire cage and requires squirrels to enter to eat or steal whatever you bait it with, then they can't get out due to the design and you drown them in the tub or shoot them with a pellet gun. So the answer is no. Also, poison bait is taken to the burrow and stored so as the colony eats it they die off over a period of time. It doesn't act at the moment it is eaten but kills over days or weeks as it gets into their system.

It seems like it would work with hanging it below the trap on the hook. The trap is great in stopping ants as long as you keep water in the cup/trap.

be very very very very very careful. The snake does NOT die when it gets stuck. It may take a couple of days for the snake to die. If the snake is big enough, you will see part of the snake outside of the trap.

There is a small strip of material on the bottom that could be considered glue. It holds the trap in place to prevent it being carried away by a really big spider. Peel off the protective cover before you put the trap where you want it. There is another covered patch in what becomes the inside of the trap. This is the toxic material. I peel off the covering on the toxic material, carefully fold and connect the top of the trap. Then peel the covering off the bottom and stick it in place. Although I rarely see a spider, I continue to trap quite a few, along with other varieties of creepy crawly things. There is a small strip of material on the bottom that could be considered glue.

It should attack them yo the poison... They are rodants and I'm sure like the same things to munch on... If your having any luck catching them in traps I'm sure this will do the trick! It worked well for us and we used it for field mice

Remember to put the bait FIRST in the receptacle in the front, THEN engage the lever downward until it locks with the plastic hook. The hook is somewhat flimsy (on purpose!) and it takes only the slightest touch at the bait to get the lever to snap. Make sure you're NOT putting your fingers in the front, always grasp and carry the coked trapped from the rear.

Any should work, but other baits are possible. Have they already caught mice? If so you may need to boil them to get rid of the scent.

Put them anywhere no trap needed. Just be aware of pets who may have access to poison. Kills rats fast. Will also kill pets, raccoons, birds, etc. if they eat it.

Most of the time the fish will get out of the way, as for instance a bottom drain they tend to stay away from. I think that if they did indeed get sucked up they probably wouldn't survive.

This doesn't have any way of baiting the trap - it works by getting the mole/gopher to run into the trap when it's placed in their tunnel. A rat out in the open probably wouldn't enter this trap.

that wouldnt be a good idea. its meant for unfished wood (mix with water and paint or spray on) and youd be exposing yourelf to direct contact with poison and it probably wouldnt be very effective because it wouldnt penetrate the finish.

I haven't had success with the trap myself. The rabbit has actually taken the bait without tripping the mechanism. Try putting some petroleum jelly on the bars so there is no friction. It can't hurt and might work.

Most likely to much bait. I was doing that at first. I took a butter knife and just got a dab on the tip of the knife and put it on the rim of the bait hole. Make them have to go all the way to the hole. They have strong smell. They will go for it. Hope it works!

Three possibilities: IF you place a weight in the bottom during the original preparation (e.g., stainless steel washers/nuts, bolts etc - or just a suitable rock) then you can submerge the ENTIRE trap(?) in a five gallon bucket of water. You can place the entire trap in a plastic bag sealed at the top for a suitable period of time. Finally, just transport the entire trap in a sealed container to a dump area (a vacuckant lot?) and not worry about the few living flies in the trap. BTW, I generally take a bucket of water with me to the dump area for initial rinsing. You will want to wash these traps after dumps. They stink = they're effective!

I don't think so. There are two metal plates toward the back of the trap by the bait. It's only when a mouse/rat crawls in there far enough that they step on both plates, completing the circuit, and get shocked. Something going in only two/few inches wouldn't connect both plates.

Not really. I suppose you could cram a few in there but it would be a tight fit and difficult to remove or replace baits.

If the bugs float to the bottom, it will get them. I have a crazy millipede problem in my back yard and they all seem to like to jump in the pool and die. That is what prompted me to get the auto pool cleaner in the first place. This canister traps them.
