Ramps for DOC Traps and covering Treadle Plates

Hi
I finally go hold of some 3M Scotch Guard Camo tape so the attached photo is a 200 with a Ramp and Camo Tape , internal baffle has been left out for clarity

im wondering if the smell of the adhesive was an issue.
have you noticed a difference ?

Hi there was no offensive chemical smell to the tape or adhesive that I could detect but as I said in a different post nothing to stop anyone from rubbing a bit of dirt or rabbit on the Tape.
In the other post I also said it would be very difficult to work out if it is making a real worthwhile difference all we can go on is the fact that with a standard treadle plate 15 % of animals don’t cross the treadle plate
Only way to do a trial that would stand up to Peer review would be 50 cameras 25 each on modified and unmodified run the trial for a year and record the number of animals that walk back out the entrance without being caught
