Brad93 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Hi all. My angling club is having a problem with rats around the lake, I've stepped forward to deal with it as quite frankly I'm fed up of the little blighters.I've spoke to BASF who manufacture Neosorexa and they have confirmed it is safe for use around the lake as long as the bait blocks are secured in a bait box and there is going to be no danger of the rat dying in the lake and poisoning the fish.However I need to dispose of any rat carcasses found, what is the best way to do this? I've heard incineration or burying them is best. Can I chuck the rats on a bonfire or does it need to be done at a proper incineration facility? How deep would I need to bury said rats? Anyone got any advise? Edited May 30, 2014 by Brad93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 If you keep old bait , any of the anglers leftover grub etc off the bank the rats won't have anything to eat and P off somewhere else! Failing that poison em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad93 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 No rubbish is left, any bait to be taken home. The banks are very clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 if its a club, and has a little money use fenn traps (original/not copies) if every one is the same as you show them how to set and bait them,you can use this along with poison and you always have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Use bait stations and you will end up with very few bodies to worry about, most rats will go home when they feel unwell, go to bed and simply not wake up. Handle with care/protection and burn or bury if you do find any! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with above, I burn any I find it can be a bit strong on the nose but the easiest way to get rid off, I use a metal bin incinerator as I can move it were needed and its a contained fire.
