My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Chipmunk drowning bucket trap

5 years ago

What are some tips? I used used it with some success but I think red squirrels are getting out. I also think when the water gets dark I have a lot less luck - which happens in a couple days or less. I use a 5 gallon paint bucket and fill it 2/3 with water and float a few sunflower seeds on the water and on the ramp up to edge of bucket.
