Welcome to our newest in our series of Lamp Post caches! Over the
years, we have collected and envisioned some very non-traditional
cache containers, but did not have the means for waterproofication.
AHA, we thought - we can use a lamp post cover as a rain/snow
shield! Thus, our series was born. Hope you enjoy them, and don't
forget to bring a pen!And be careful to watch out for the geo-traps
Simple Geo-Trap. No harm to geocacher
Steps
- Place 5 gallon plastic bucket in area of geocachers.
- Put near something which geocacher can climb. Bucket should be
right next to anything that the geocacher can climb, such as a wood
pile.
- Dab peanut butter around the inside about an inch and a half
and further down.
- Hope that the geocacher will fall in the bucket and can't jump
out.
- Set around the conventional store bought traps.
- Cover a complete oaktag with double sided extra sticky tape,
place peanut butter in dots through the paper. It is known that
geocachers tend to go for the chocolate and chip bags rather than
the traditional peanut butter.
- Leave it. If a geocacher is caught and is dead leave it tied to
the trap in the geocacher hole. The geocachers will see you are an
enemy and in most cases they get frightened and move to the next
cache. (Sorry next door neighbor.)
Tips
- Humane traps are a better option. They are now widely available
in home improvement stores and online. This trap allows you to set
the cacher free, while you get to live pest-free!
- Larger geocachers may jump out. Check each morning
- Electric traps work way better than mechanical traps, in case
you decide to buy a trap.
- NEVER use a sticky-tape trap. This causes unnecessary suffering
(dehydration, starvation, ripped skin) for the geocacher. Please
choose a humane trap instead.
Happy Caching
