The peaches are now easily noticeable from the back porch, and there is a noticeable absence of once-bitten green peaches on the ground. The squirrel trap has netted me somewhat more than 20 of the tree rats in the last 3 weeks, and the big problem is what to do with the bodies when you're looking at 6 very hot days between offing one and trash day.
Indispensable addition to the trap is a 5-gallon bucket with a lid in which a kitchen bag will hold your weekly catch and keep the odor down. Squirt a little insecticide in it and you're good to go.
and workshop. It's a fine workshop. Me and my assistant, Mr. Scratch.

I wonder. .
The Loveable Loo composting toilet mentions "adding carbon" to the collecting container, covering the contribution with sawdust or wood chips.
Worm composting also discusses adding carbon, such as straw or decomposed leaves, to leaven the fare for the worms.

I wonder if adding hardwood mulch or cedar pet bedding chips would act to limit the smell, and let you turn the discards into mulch for the garden for later this year or next spring. Maybe even enrich the peach tree. That would put those tree rats to good use.
Enjoy!
