Reviewing Activations Ten Days In DS1

Last nights activation was caused by a significant large Norway Rat.  This rat was clearly shown on the camera, although it did not appear to enter the tunnel or activate the trap.

On reviewing the deployment two significant changes are being made.  Firstly the peanut butter which was on the trap is being replaced (after ten days).    This was replaced by fresh peanut butter, starting from this evenings deployment.

The second significant change being made is to the lure sound used.  We have had feedback from a number of organisations and individuals suggesting that we modify the sounds currently used on the lure.   We have generic sounds and instead will shift towards 'distressed animal' calls.   These are freely available as common source.
