30-6 Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Been catching rats with mk4 fenns around buildings on a friends farm, seem more interest in baited tunnels. After reading about a guy using coffee granules, I thought I would try some fancy bait. I have had them on peanuts suspended on a thin wire above the trap, lard on a bit of bailing cord above the trap. Today I out 3 fenns with mushed up sweet corn, and 4 snap traps 2 with chocolate powder and 2 with banana milkshake powder sprinkled over them. With the fenns I put a short self tappers screw through the treadle and fixed a short bit of wood with the sweet corn spread all around it to make it harder than just lapping it up from a dollop on the treadle. So what's the weirdest bait you have had success with ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Nutella chocolate spread with olive oil to make it runny so you can make a trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
