Thanks for the offer that is very kind, I hope to tap up my neighbour I'm sure he will have a 2" hole saw 😉👍

Yes know what you mean but I think because the trap was on top of the wood pile "he" was able to come at the trap from the side. The box is only a fraction wider than the trap so any customer has to go over not from the side. I will take a picture of the set up when the holes are drilled 😉👍

Good idea 💡 👏 👌 Next time 👍👍

😉😉👍👍

Good idea 💡 👏 I've made the box but need to drill three 3" holes one in either end and one in the top, oh and one for the cable tie 😉

👍👍👍 I have no idea to be honest I just presumed it was the rats because I saw one 🤔 Not seen any snail/slug trails either.

What diameter are your entrance holes in the tunnel please 🙏

That was my question in the craft section what size hole? I think I might use 3" hole in both ends and one in the top.

"Comedic whip" 🤣🤣🤣😉😉😉👍👍

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are wasted as a bus driver, you should be on the stage 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you 👍

Thank you 👍👍 Do you bait it or not 🤔 Given me food for thought

There are no walls down my garden only hedges and I intend to take it into a wood for squirrels, so are you saying leave the ends open? I was intending to have a box so that the rat or squirrels go in the top through a small hole for the bait and go onto the trap plate 🤔

Anyway I'm in the process of building a box for the trap see my question in the craft section 👍👍👍

Really ? Better get a bigger trap for his dad then 😉 How do you find a run in a wood store? Thought you said put it on a run 🤔

May I ask how do you "site it correctly?" and how big should the entrances be to prevent capture of non target species 🤔

I'm in the process of making a box for my fenn trap. It will be 12" long 8" wide and 8" high. I want it to be duel purpose for rats and squirrels and intend to have a hole in the top for "customers". What size hole diameter should the entrance be? Also does it have to be round or can it be square? My jigsaw is broken 😩😉

Does it look a big rat 🐀 🤔

I didn't get the chance to ask to be honest 😉

Voila

Gave them a treat with part of a melted twix on the plate, see what they make of that 🙄😉 Thanks 👌

I'm just thinking that it would stick to the plate better melted onto the plate sooner than cold 🥶 🤔 they have just licked everything off before 😉

The "fatherless" trap has nearly had my fingers all ready as I sprayed it with vegetable oil and put the dust on out of the bottom of the dogs meal, they licked that off too. The vegetable oil has made it lethal, worse than Arkwright's till. I might heat the bottom of the plate with a candle and melt some chocolate 🍫 on it 😉😉👍👍👍👍

Hope this is the right section if not please move. In my log store I've noticed some rat droppings and I saw one walking on the top. I decided to set a fen trap with peanut butter lathered on the "plate" and put it in the log store. Three times now the trap hasn't gone off and the trap plate has been licked clean. Yes the safety is off. Can you recommend something that I can put on the plate that sticks like excreta on a blanket so it takes more effort to get off. Any advice gratefully received 😉

👍👍👍😉😉😉😉
