If you know where it's getting in the shop, move the trap closer to that point. I'd swap the tuna for dry dog or cat food with a bit of fruit.

He can’t get in the shop or put. It’s tight...he has to be sleeping on my loft somewhere. I’m cleaning the loft out tonight

There are very good about hiding during the day. Had one hiding in my office one year......had a big storm and the wind blew the door open and that's how it got in. Didn't know it was in there until the turd bombs started showing up.

He’s very good. 4 of us turned this shop (30x40) upside down and still nothing. But you watch...he will poop in my sink tonight. I moved the camera again and left him an egg. We will see in the morning...

I put the camera on the egg. The egg is gone and no pics!! He even got on a rat size sticky trap and hauled it off with half an egg shell on it but he finally got the sticky trap off.

Why is the camera not getting a pic?? Whatever this critter is was all over the drain board and inside the sink. I don’t get it. You can even see the sticky trap in bottom of pic that he hauled off.

IDK, I set one up on one of my peach trees to see what was after the fruit, got the young possum in a bunch of photos, caught him the next night with a peach and cat food.

Ol' Possum'...so they often move too slow to set off the camera. I have caught a bunch of them with no pics ever taken.
