Dan Hope you fill as well, leaving no room for EHS! A balance beam-bait trap, (monitored) may be a good option, for ongoing EHS control, thru-out the season. P.M. have been taking their time, returning to Grand forks/Thief River Falls areas as well, which could work good, considering the Yo Yo weath...

The upgrades should make management a breeze!
Hope 2015 is a big success.

How many compartments do you offer?

Where are you located?

Jerome

Good Morning, Dan WELCOME TO THE FORUM! I'd guess, if their same compartments are available and location is similar. That they would readily accept your housing. As you may have noticed, AllenH reported his first ASY-M at Crookston, so they're "Wingin" north. What is your colony size and l...
