I'm not.. I have my traps set up inside the protected area (by my rabbits and chickens and where the free rangers roost).. I know the predators are still around because i have seen them outside of the protected areas and I never got the biggest raccoon and his little buddy... so they are still on the loose.

[yinepu]

I installed these this spring,I had no deaths but wanted to leave the doors open in the coop that is enclosed in the run when it was really hot.Like they say chicken wire only keeps the chickens in not the predators out.I still close them up at night but now that I have read here that they really work I can leave the doors open.We have fox coons,cyotes and skunks,have seen them all here.

You know that might just work...it would probably scare any animal away. On the other hand, it might attract too much interest from the neighbors and it might also distress the chickens.
