Would’ve loved to learn this. My internet is so poor and slow I can’t do video. I had hoped that instructions would be printed. Oh well.
There are printed instructions, Pat!

I have so many possums around here that I can’t leave the cats food out after dusk. I also have so many ticks the kids have to be sprayed down with off to play outside. I very much doubt the possum theory or maybe my yard is just special…lol Maybe these tick tubes will help
