I need traps

[00tec]

The only legal traps in Colorado are live traps and apples pieces work well as bait. I bought a trap at Big R in Elizabeth a few years ago but Amazon will also sell them.

I'm pretty certain that I would qualify under the exceptions there

Did you check with that ranch store just west of Watkins?

Good point. I always forget about O'malleys

You mentioned not having cats, I don't like the little bastards but that could help.

Are they chewing up electrical wiring or just nesting for the family? I've heard of chemical (Cayan pepper etc.) repellants and sonic deterrents but they have mixed reviews.

Isn't Mrs 00tec allergic?

Ive got a good sized live trap that works well for rabbits. Welcome to use it for a while. Lmk

Murdoch’s?

No, but we've never been cat people. My bird wouldnt like that either.
Wifey is done with pets for a while anyway after she lost her dog.
If I have to end up with a live trap, I'm going to end up shooting it, don't want to shoot someone else's stuff.

Another good option. Guess I'm going for a drive today

A good deterrent is a net bag with mothballs under the vehicle. They like the wires because soy oil is used in the manufacturing process. I had to rewire the fuel pump on one of my trucks. The rodents don't like the smell of mothballs. It is a pain to find a place to zip tie the bag of mothballs, but over the fuel tank is a good start. Hope this helps.

Large rubbermaid trash can filled with water, or exhaust hose in lid. Not the most humane (but you're past that at this point) but more friendly to the traps.

I'm not sure about rabbits, but my cousin lives out is same area and had a similar situation with mice. Peppermint oil worked as a deterrent for him. Smells better than moth balls.

Online is likely your only option for non live traps. I have so rarely seen the non live traps around in CO since the laws were changed. Ranch stores are your best bet, but I would call them before going there.

Live traps are death traps with a couple of extra steps. They work great out here for skunks and children. I mean rabbits.

Combination of all the above suggestions is best bet.

Not likely to find snares, leg hold traps or body grip devices in stock at farm or sporting/outdoors stores.

I have checked Tractor Supply and Murdochs, humane/live traps only. Some poisons available. Bomgaars is a possibility but doubtful.
