Thank you sir.

Nothing beats prozaap! In reviewing your other vids, I’m guessing you’re a mechanical engineer? I enjoyed them, thanks! I too am from Idaho, Idaho Falls.

Thanks for the kind words! My background is electrical/electronics and IT… Building things has been a part of my life.

Wish there was a system like that for moles. BTW, strange watching your camera jump to your hammering of that rebar in the frozen ground LOL... People don't realize how much the earth vibrates at 10 feet LOL Never happen here in sunny Florida.....

You should state the pvc dimensions, And type of poison.

[@geraldfer]

1 1/4 PVC...sch 40

[@tomludwigson349]

Will this work for pine squirrels? 🤔

[@mrkrazyjeep]

I think you would have to use a little bigger pipe but then you run the risk of other animal’s getting into it. Also I don’t know what you would use for the poison…

[@suprmn]

What are the length and diameter dimesions of your PVC?

[@mrkrazyjeep]

They extend about 12” on either side of the Tee and the height is about 16”.

[@mrkrazyjeep]

The ones in the video are a little longer but they don’t need to be, I was just dividing up the material evenly.

[@mrkrazyjeep]

I used 1-1/2” PVC

How was your success with this?

[@mrkrazyjeep]

It’s hard to tell for sure. Not a 100% but definitely a lot less than years past.

[@starsolider620]

What bait do you use? Does it poison them? Thanks!

[@mrkrazyjeep]

I use Prozap - it’s zinc phosphide pellets - I’m told that it kills the voles however, if another animal eat the dead vole it will not hurt them.

Wrong! From :www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/ppls/OR140016-20220225.pdf "RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE DUE TO HAZARD TO NON-TARGET SPECIES For retail sale to and use only by Certified applicators or persons under their direct supervision and only for those uses covered by the Certified Applicator’s certification." I used a similar product years ago. Mfr. made same claim of safety to non-target animals. My neighbor's cat used to hang out waiting for voles to appear. Soon thereafter, that beautiful, healthy & friendly cat died "mysteriously". Research rodenticides, lethal, non-target animals. Plenty of sad stories. Shame on you for selling this!

What are the dimensions

[@mrkrazyjeep]

About 12” on either side of the tee but I think I would shorten them to about 6”. You can make it as tall as you want. I used 1-1/2 pvc
