I like that sunflower pail suggestion. Wonder if that would take care of more than one at a time? or do they figure a way out? The mouse or mice at my house have learned to move the traps out of their way .... under the refrigerator so the traps can't snap and to avoid the live traps for the most part. Wish I could find a way to make the sunflower suggestion work for squirrels too. Both are so pesky!!!
