<strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>house<\/strong>.&#160; I had watched them for a <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>day<\/strong> or more coming and going and they had successfully chased out the blue <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>birds<\/strong> so stronger <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>measures<\/strong> are in <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>need<\/strong>.&#160; I installed the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanerttraps.com\/universal.htm\">Van Ert trap<\/a>.&#160; It has worked quit well\u2026 The <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>day<\/strong> before yesterday I caught both of a pair that had taken over the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>blue bird<\/strong> <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>house<\/strong>.&#160; They now do not exist and will not <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>cause<\/strong> further harm.&#160; Today I noticed another sparrow had decided that this was a great place and he was moving in\u2026 so I placed the trap back on the door and <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>wham<\/strong>, caught in less than an hour\u2026 now I wait to see if he had a <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>lady friend<\/strong> following.&#160; If so, they will both meet up in the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>trash<\/strong>.&#160;&#160; I also noticed I have 3 more in the other trap\u2026 I had some old stale <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>corn chips<\/strong> so I crumbled them up and put them in the trap early this morning and caught 3 this <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>afternoon<\/strong>\u2026 Just a few more and we will have thinned out the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>pests<\/strong> substantially this early\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Later in the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>afternoon<\/strong> I took the motorhome to the <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>diesel<\/strong> shop.&#160; Need to get the oil changed and all the filters changed and probably have them work on the injectors as it barely would <strong class=##Q##StrictlyAutoTagBold##Q##>run<\/strong> \u2026 no power at all and the check engine light was on\u2026 I think the <strong
