Score today: zero.  Added real PB to "purchased PB baited goo pads".


The "blow them out" is making sense - big air compressor, leaf blower, maybe a shop vac at the output end. Definitely don't want to be around the output end. The turd and flying mouse cloud would make a good "fails" utube.

I have a cylinder of CO2, so that is the cheap "gas em" solution if needed.

Wondering what they find so interesting down there besides warmer in the winter. Ideal 77 Plus lube was used for pulling. The MSDS is totally opaque, it has no data. Do they eat it?

The conduit run is nearly flat. Water doesn't run out but with the other conduit I got most of the water out with a shop vac - about 11 gallons of condensation. Another solution perhaps, hose in one end + vac out the other.

Rent one of those big air compressors that are used to power jackhammers,
plumb one end into the conduit and blow them out!

###  Ruger  204..with hornady  V max  rounds.

##  Dux  seal  at one or both ends might work..
or  dux seal at one end..and mesh at the other end.

##  SS  or plane steel wool pads also works, stuffing into the bottom
end of the  conduit..and   dux seal at top end.   Mice chew on the steel
wool pads...
they ingest em, they die asap.

##  nitrogen will also kill em...since no  oxygen.

##  Dux seal at top end...and  dux seal at bottom end...but with a straw
through it, would allow for any condensation to drain out  the lower
end.
