The numbers are still going up on all the GN trap counters, I had a good inspection of them all today and was happy to see the trigger clean and clear on all of them. I have a mate who reckons the new ALP can clog up the trigger, something to keep an eye on. I did find an ants nest in one of them!!
Also put a couple on long ramps and set them right in the hart of the wetland, it will be interesting to see how they go. When it floods this wetland can have up to a foot of water running through it so in this area a conventional set would be no good. The benefit of the long ramps here is that it should keep the traps above the high water mark, thus not drowning them in the next flood
I decided to add the piece of galv mesh just to make sure the spaniel can't put her nose up there for a sniff
I'm all out of GN possum paste but have just ordered some so when that arrives I'm gunna try time out's mix of olive oil and possum paste![]()
