silver pigeon 3 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Sounds OK to me, some times it does take a while for the rats to appear though. Did you blank off most of the exit holes so in theory the rats exit in view, if you didnt then it's possible that any rats exited at a hole not in sight.

happy.plinker Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I've tried this too and saw nothing,I assumed there was no rats,the smoke was belching out I'd say for a good 2 minutes and didn't think they could stand that.The rats do come and go round my place.

Proudly Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 IMO a rich oil mix & putting too much smoke down the holes can kill them underground. Still should get them bolting though. Try running the engine with a normal mix, give the revs a minute then kill the engine & be quiet. I find they bolt far more readily this way....

snarepeg Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well we are giving it a go next week with the chain saw modification, it has workd in the past so fingers x. Down side is they are under a chicken hut and holes every where but hopefully will bolt into the shot patterns? Tried them 2 nights ago with n/v, started well but they soon got the message and traffic died down, but they have got to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
