Sorry I have no pictures today. I've been busy with work this week, plus there's nothing really new going on with pumpkins. We have about five now, but they're growing frustratingly slow. Our largest is bigger than a basketball now. I'm still at odds with the rats and now there are several. I set the traps, but had no success because within two hours they completely stole the bait from one of them. However, I changed my tactics thanks to a forum member giving us some pointers and my wife doing some research. Now, I am baiting the traps each night without setting them. Our hope is that the rats begin to trust the traps, which they are because they keep taking all of the bait. Tonight, I am adding two more baited traps and tomorrow night I will put the same amount of bait on all of the traps, however I will set them. I'm hoping to catch more than one rat!!! Aside from the traps, we are also going to electrify things . I bought some poly-wire, a fence energizer and the other parts needed for it. If I can't get them with the traps, I will just zap them to keep them out until they stop coming back. >:[
