Go Ahead, If this would be useful.

www.furoma.com/ - This is the link for Pooflinger's tools, it has catch rate estimates for your trap setup, advice on which trap to use in a particular area and loads more, including a link to THE GUIDE TO MOUSEHUNT, which is one of the very best guides out there- it even explains the festive comet for those still needing certain things there
