sam triple Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Nailed this little sucker the other morning, been noticing a few holes so trap went out with peanut butter , but no go . Next tried cat food again nothing then I noticed one of the fat balls that we feed birds with had teeth marks in so I moved it to the base of the tree , sure enough we had a few visits , just got in with the dog the other morning, Mrs says “ there’s a rat in the garden “ so I pin it up the stairs out of the bathroom window I see Roland attacking the fat ball at the base of the tree , out comes HW110 with JSB exact and the job was done , then the woman decides she needs to know how to shoot , few hours going over the basics ,safety , loading mag , pumping up the cylinder with pump and target practice and she was good to go !

Don’t mind traps , not keen on poison as you never know where they’re be when they die or what may eat them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a period last year, after our neighbour demolished their rat shelter hut, where the rats were hitting our bird table on an almost daily basis always about 4pm. Very punctual of them! Don't forget to add yours to the Rat total in the Pest section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
