| I learned this trick from the park ranger at Scotty's castle in Death Valley. They have problems with critters and roaches etc. If they bait a mousetrap with food, it draws insects etc. What they found is that mice are looking for two things -- food and nest lining. So they use a cotton ball tied to the trigger of a mouse trap. I have tried it many times in my barn and it works well. |

A piece of yarn works well too. If insects aren't too bad - like inside the camper - a small dab of peanut butter on the yarn helps guide them to the spot. ------------- Joan, Jerry and the two Pugs 2015 R-Pod 179 |
