Hello,
In a nutshell I have some Fenn Mk4's and suitable wooden tunnels and a means to restrict the entrance, so all good on that front. My aim is to trap rats which we have living in the garden, possibly not far from the house. However, we also have hedgehogs in the area which I don't want to kill.
Research suggests that the hedgehogs can squeeze through a similar gap to a rat. Is this true? Is there a way of discouraging the hedgehogs?
Would I be better off with another method of control which wouldn't harm the hedgehogs?
I've considered live traps, but would then require a way to dispatch the critters. Poison is feasible, but I'd probably rather a method where I can track what's killed.
Advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
