Title: Sir Tig's thought for the day.
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 13 November 2019, 17:56:51
When setting a rat trap, don't hold it at the bait end once you've pulled back the arm and set it.  :y

Because it oppsing hurts if it accidentally goes off and gets your thumb!  ::)  :'(  :D

Just as well you weren't cleaning a shotgun, with two in the spout.

Put peanut butter on the trap. Most rats cant resist it. I always use a cage trap and catch them live, then baptise them. Depends on location whether that's suitable though. last one I caught had a body a foot long and a tail thicker than my finger, it would have had most cats for a light snack.
I think Ive now made my garden area rat proof, so have had a couple of years of not having to deal with them, thankfully. I hate the fickin things.

We had a rat in & around our garden the other year. It'd tunnelled under the fencing!  ???

One of my granddaughters had a mouse problem and bought a "humane" mouse trap.Apparently you open it out to reveal a sticky surface which the mouse walks onto and can't get off of,you then remove the trap and mouse to wherever you fancy fold the trap over and stamp on it to kill the mouse :o This is "humane"? :-X

Yes that's what I have been using.  :y

However,  the clever little bastards were managing to lick it all off without springing the trap!  ::)  So now I push a lump of lard onto the bait prongs and put a blob of peanut butter on top.  :y

They did the same in my garden and then took up residence under the shed. After much messing around with all sorts of poison etc. I dug a trench 1 foot wide and the same depth around the garden and the shed, attached steel mesh to the bottom of the fence / shed, took it down into the trench and then bent it L shaped to go a foot out into the garden. Then filled it all in again. They wont try and bite their way through it because they don't like metal on their teeth.
I was pestered by them, but haven't seen one for a couple of years since doing that. A lot of hard work but it was well worth the effort.

My house has a void underneath and they've chewed a hole through the concrete block wall and shining a torch through the hole there is a tunnel which goes out under the patio...  ::)

                    Yes, may be a one in ten chance, but it’s food for thought, although if it happens again............
