Message: <blockquote data-quote="mrbb" data-source="post: 121613" data-attributes="member: 13825">I make my own boxes like that, mostly for spring traps however, as I never wanted a smaller critter getting a leg trapped in one I make them out of of simple materials, some OSB< and some 2x4 pieces I always seem to have from other projects, I leave one end of a 2x4 a inch or so open from making a full square, add OSB to top and bottom,   add hinges to top section,  allow the top to open, for easy access and resetting things, rather easy to make and cheap(or was when wood was more reasonably priced_)  but have noticed that I have to place heavy items on top of things in my 3 sided buildings, or  larger critters will open them, or carry the whole things off, Bars here have done that several times on me!, a cinder block or two helps stop that though, pending what bait is in the traps, cannot use peanut butter in them, or bears for sure will get to them, even small amounts lure them in on me here! but I agree having boxes of the likes, helps limit the chance of a non targeted critter getting any poison !and another tip, I found, that before parking things back in non heated shops, in winter /cold temps times of yr if I wait till they cooled down, it seems it draws less critters in , as when parking a hot machine in, the hot /heat from machine   seems to t drawn  them  in, in   cold temps and as mentioned, heater vents, and even the heaters themselves can draw them into  then, looking for heat and then nesting inside</blockquote>
