The enemy has been identified!
After setting the trap with a can of tuna, and watching it for several hours…I saw the stinker!
It is a raccoon…or possibly several…
The only trouble is…it triggered the mechanism but avoided getting caught. So the next challenge is to find a way to set the trap so that we can catch it…They are crafty critters…with long fingers…
This is WAR! and I will be damned if they can stink me out of my own house!
