Dekers Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 They will adapt to the light situation, if lighting alone could get rid of rats you wouldn't need a pest controller. Good luck with the rifle, but I have never known any significant rat problem solved with a rifle alone! ATB! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 Red led torch on rifle. Will work forma short while but they soon shy away from it. Night vision is what I use. Just got back after a couple hours playing smack the rat with the air gun. That was 20 more tonight. Over 270 since February. Very hard to find them now the grass is browning.
