I don't have any cattails. I am trying to establish a bed of eelgrass for fish cover and the muskrat is eating the plants before they can start growing. The live trap is the only trap I have and if I catch him I am going to kill him.
I don't have the time to sit and wait for him to come out to where I can shoot him. I will try the apples first and see what happens.

Thanks,
Larry
