. white paper

steps 

1. cut the ends of the milk boltles.
-save 1 to hold the sponge

2. join the two milk boltles together.

3.wrap them with black plastic .

4. put a piece of white paper inside.

5.put food colouring on the sponge and a blob of peanut butter.

6. Put the tunnel in a outdoor space to see what happens.


When we checked our trap, the pests had stolen the sponge! We replaced it, and they stole it again!!! Other traps showed rat and mice footprints, and poop! They also chewed the sponges.
