Default Water...

The water is a good idea. I was told years ago that if you don't want rotting mice in your walls or other places when using poison, just place a pan or bucket of water near the poison. When they eat the poison, it burns their insides and they will go for water, jump in and drown (easy to collect). The only problem is in the winter when the water tends to be frozen (but maybe that doesn't happen in Manitoba ). The collection trap that Rob shows is the way to go, water option or not. Maybe antifreeze will work as a substitute for the water...?

As Bob mentions: squirrels are the worst for causing serious damage and mess. Hundreds of squirrels have "mysteriously" passed away around my property over the past few years .
