Hello all! I was thrilled to have 3 pairs of bcch in my gilbertson pvc boxes put them up last year in hopes of getting blues but no luck. things were going well with the bcch and I had wren guards up on 2 after the first egg was laid and look out my window and see male hosp leaving the box. opened the boxes and i found all three chickadees dead on their nests plus dad in one so i have a total of 4 dead chickadees plus eggs and I'm so sick over it. My question is it doesn't seem so far that their using the boxes should I try the van ert trap to kill them or what ground trap should I try? are they successful ? or pellet gun ? I'm so mad at myself for not putting up a hole reducer of 1 1/8 and spooker, would that be full proof with dealing with these devils? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP because I'm ready too put the boxes in the trash along with the poor sweet dead chickadees I'm picking up.
