Directions for Revenge Trapping Bait Kit for Squirrels and Chipmunks (#9020)

1. Place your cage trap where squirrel and chipmunk activity is evident, (near bird feeders, in your attic, in the garden/flowerbeds, etc.). Do not place near a squirrel nest as this makes them suspicious and the trap will be avoided.
2. Put on the enclosed plastic gloves. Open tube #1 (Trailing Scent) and squeeze a straight line of drops approximately 3 inches apart starting from the trap opening to a distance about 3 feet in front of the trap. If any Trailing Scent remains, apply the remainder of the scent back toward the trap opening. To boost the attraction, sprinkle nuts from the trap opening out 3 feet along the trail.
3. Before opening tube #2 (Bait), gently knead the bait tube between your fingers for a few seconds. When well blended, open and squeeze bait onto a few walnut shells, peanuts, a bagel piece or acorns to make this bait more appealing to the animal.
4. Place one half of this bait in front of the trip pan and the other half of bait in the back of the trap behind the trip pan. Coat the white felt "lure strip" with the bait. Then hand the strip through the trap top so it straddles the wire and looks like an upside down "U". Place the felt strip above the bait at the back of the trap. This hanging lure strip will draw the animals from a greater distance and improve your success. If using a double entrance trap, close one and and place the bait behind the closed door.
