  Speaker 1: him at bay most of the summer last year. But
• 0:44

  Speaker 3: and you see them everywhere. Yeah, just just for a
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: few weeks and they disappear. So I don't maybe we

• 1:35
  Speaker 2: They make the trail. You can follow the trail for like,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: I hate it, and then it disappears behind a wall,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and where does it go?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I could always call an exterminator, I guess, But then.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I don't like although although I mean, maybe there's ways
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to do it where you're not like eating poison.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I know they're coming in from the same general area.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And we've used those tarot traps before.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And are those little white ones. Yeah, you've use those too.

• 2:14
  Speaker 2: but I just don't want to deal with it, so
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I'm not going in there. I'm hoping he finds his
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: hole and goes right back out.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Well, they make ant trap, not ant traps, mouse trap,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: mouse traps that are very humane.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: You can get a live traps yet.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, my wife has has a really cool trap where
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you put a like a bucket, like a home.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Depot buck Oh, yeah, and they fall in there. You
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: build a bridge, yes, I've seen those, and you put cheese.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: On top of the bridge. Yes, but the bridge has
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a little like flat, yes, so they crawl up the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bridge and they fall in. They fall in used it
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and they're down at the bottom and you just take
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: them outside.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Have you ever used that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: We tried it, never caught one because we have they're.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Like fifty bucks. I looked online, but you can fifty bucks.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, make it yourself a ten dollars bucket, and.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Then I don't need to do a science project. I
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: just need to get the mouse out of the house. Yeah,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: you have like a live trap, whether it's clear and
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you can like I don't know if I want to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: see it in there, but where you could. I looked
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: this weekend at home deeper. I went to target. Nobody
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: had them. All they had were mean traps, and I
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: would like to like let it go.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're getting them because we're feeding the birds.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: That's why we have the fox.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I have to admit we maybe that might be our
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: problem too.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're attracting it to some degree.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Every night we take all the food that wasn't eaten.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: We put it in a big like like to go tray,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and you put it outside and we put it about
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: ten feet away from the front door, not the front door,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: but the back door of the patio. And so the
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: raccoons have scraps every night, and that probably.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I'm not an exterminator, but I would say that could
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: be part of your problem. It's a whole tray of food.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: But we like but it's far away from well you.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Did it and originally because you had chickens, that's why
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: you had all the scraps.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Correct. Yeah, And then what we do is, and I've
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: talked to Ben's before in the air, we have a philosophy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: If you're done with dinner and you couldn't eat everything, yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: why throw food in the trash totally, Let's throw food
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: in this big carboard whatever, and we take get outside. Yeah,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and we have three raccoons that live under the shed
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: and they come out every night. Yeah, and they eat it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You know. We we did that for a while too,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So we had I was I was the same thing,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Why am I throwing out this food? So I put
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: like a compost, tried to do a compost pile in
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the back. And then I went out one night at
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: dusk to go and we could barely see. I went
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: out one night at dusk and I came this close,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: like this close, just stepping on a skunk. Oh, because
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: there was a skunk in the compost pile because they
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: don't see well either, Right, we're both scared each.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Other sunk with glasses.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, So I think I'm gonna get one
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of those compost things that makes it. You can get
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: one that turns it into actual dirt. We have that too, Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: but you're yeah, I think I think we've just.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We have a whole family. Now we named the family.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They're under the shed.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Do you want to see the video of my fox?

• 4:57
  Speaker 2: want
