interesting using the seeds . i wonder about the water, during winter, and have heard about using some 50/50 instead
i wonder if just some peanut butter around the inside edge of the bucket, and a ramp will make it happen without the rolling
can. maybe some seeds on the ramp to get them up there to smell the PB
can we reinvent the mousetrap?
Water doesn't work in Wisconsin past November and only tried antifreeze with the spinning can of death over one winter. It worked a little bit. I found that after doing the sunflower seed thing faithfully for half the summer up until the fall I didn't have any mice or chipmunks, or at least not enough to worry about. Next summer I will put a couple buckets out and walk past every 3 days and throw more sunflower seeds in and dump the bucket after awhile because it will start to stink.
After a few days the seeds start to sink. I was thinking about gluing some on a Styrofoam plate so they don't sink, but that is next year.
