    POSSUM TRAPS #1 LEG-HOLD | Trade Me

    Cinnamon is fine, i know of a few guys that wont use curry powder, they say it attracts more rats

    Smooth in a tube is good and easy to use, have a look on the connavation web site

    Ahh thanks for that. Thats way cheaper than the shit guy city sell $25 for a lesser quality trap when it would only cost them a few dollars to make. And might have to try that smooth in a tube, always good to try something new.

    Guy at possum control dose traps for about 6bucks . Work as well as victors etc. you may have to bend the seer arm a little to lighten the trip.
    At the moment we are using cinnamon.
    Good results 600 coons for the month.

    Oil is better for your blaze,, sticks well to the tree better.
