from right to left
1. Cheese 
2. Peanut Butter
3. Nutella with Pretzel sticks
4. Peanut Butter with bird(mostly for presentation)

One billion Vector traps sold so far, not bad.

A place called Dak has opened in the 800-block of Fort Street across from Price's Lock. It appears to be an Asian cuisine place.

Know it all.

I'll go for peanut butter as the winner.  next time buy the Victor M205 east set trap that has the expanded trigger.

 

with all this rain it has flooded their nests and i'm sure many garages will have your same problem.

No luck yet but just had another sighting(no photo, just extremely fast black movements), will pick up marshmallows in the morning, and the Victor M205.

The marshmallows need to be spread  open a little so the wet part inside is exposed it attracts them more than a dried outside part.

With Canadian Tire apparenty also closing, could the owner of this property be looking to redevelop? Sadly two tea leaves don't tell us much about the future...

Given how busy that location is, if it does that would be a pretty good indicator to me.

Lessons learned: Birdseed and peanut butter as well as the cheese did the trick, don't know which one got which first however(will post photos upon request). Could not find the Victor M205 in stores, but got a Victor with a high impact kill bar using peanut butter for that one(with sprinkles for presentation) the guy at the store said he had caught the biggest one you would ever see with it. Also got a Tomcat trap which I'm using with peanut butter(with nutmeg because it's almost Christmas), and of course a traditional Victor with a marshmallow(cut on the top).

Yet that location just for fully renovated. I would be pissed if I was the franchisee.

I am just speculating and have absolutely no hard evidence to back it up. Somtimes two events really do just happen right on top of each other, sometimes they are connected. Absent facts, we really have no idea.

I'm not an expert in zoning maps, but Canadian Tire, the BP building and Timmies are divided by yellow lines.  Are those lines simply address dividers, or do they denote property boundaries too?  I don't know if the same owner owns it all or not.

 

I remember when Baskin Robbins was there where the nail place is now.

I only go there because it has a drive-thru.  I don't like the renovation.  The order/pickup area at the left is quite poorly done.
