Wed nite we put sulphur powder around the base of our three birdboxes

Two are bluebirds and had eggs in them

We saw the next morning the door was unlatched and door was totally open like a landing zone and eggs gone

The other bird box was not open but eggs were gone same nite

One is on a pvc pipe
Other one on a tree

We have had four sets of blue birds
Every year to live

Any idea what did this
We have one nest of wrens and worried for them

So sad to see blue bird parents looking for their eggs

And or babies
Something ate the four babies two weeks ago

Never had that happen in twenty years here at our home

Ideas
Advice
What can we do to protect the boxes yet allow the parents in and out


Snake prevention

we are using sulphur powder at base of tree or pvc pipe base
