mr_jack Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 How To Control Vermin In The Home: setup a small bait station out of the way with a backstop, make sure the backstop isnt solid, try using a old phone book, this will stop pellets bouncing back at you or breaking stuff around your house. Next Step: pop some bait down, i would use something smelly, ie catfood dogfood, or maybe peanut butter, this will not stink your house out as much as the first two listed, but you will get the same results from it. Before you atempt to bait rats please remember to block every single hole you find around your home, try to make your house as rat proof as you possibly can, otherwise you will get more unwanted visitors... Right now that you have everything blocked up, put your bait station down in a room where you can keep your pet from going in, and you know that there has been vermin activity in the chosen room. Now leave the bait for atleast a day or two, let the rat/rats get to know the bait station and get to know there runways. When you are ready 1-2 days later, setup a snipe spot, make this atleast 9 feet away from your chosen target (baitstation) rats have bad eye sight but they can make out stuff upto 6 feet infront of them, placing yourself 9 feet away will put you completey out of the rats vision. Setup a very dim light setup next to the bait station, you only need enough light to let you see your sight picture/scope This will work with mice or rats, there are other ways of getting rid of vermin, ie traps, this small guide is for the person who would rather tackle the little critters with there own air rifles By Lee AKA RATDRILLA AKA mr jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_jack Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 na, am not shooting in my house mate but if i was to get rats/mice i would choose to use an air rifle over a trap, and i would set it up so nothing was smashed.... am sure someone on this site has had mice/rats in there home, its not a unheard thing that never hapends.... my mate has had mice before, and he has used the same sort of tactics to get rid of them.. you cant bank on traps working all the time, so i wrote a small guide for a new person/noob with vermin problems in and around there home!! these tactics can be used outside aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
