been looking to build some weasel boxes - but we have had and outbreak of chipmonks this year so I ordered 2 dozen rat traps and built some boxes today

3 1x6" 12' will work out to 4 boxes with just a little left over. The opening is a 2" hole, and the top and bottoms are 19.5" long and the sides are 17.75 and the 2 ends are 5.5" Pretty simple project but was a good way to get my little helper involved.

When the rat traps come in you set 1 and each end with the trip plate towards the the opening. 2 traps in each box with some bait in the middle
