Archie-fox Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just a quick picture of where I keep seeing a rat or two on my herb garden... My neighbour throws lots of food down for the birds and this has attracted rats...so as I can't shoot them due to the location I'm going to trap them... What trap is best and as we get the odd cat in the garden it mustnt hurt the cats... Anyone got any ideas?? Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Either make up a box to use a coventional trap inside or use a cage trap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 a fenn trap used in a tunnel box as described works well, but make sure birds etc cant get in and use the box against a wall. if you bait the plate they love peanut butter. otherwise sit and wait with an air rifle.

Archie-fox Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Due to the area of my garden shooting them is not a option really... It's got to be a trap of some sort... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
