Use fireworks :lol:

 

I am not sure if its strictly legal but that is what I use. Stick a good old roman candle down the hole. Cover it with a breeze block and stand on the breeze block.

If you have put the firework down far enough you will hear a satisfying deep hollow sound. DUM DUM DUM as the rocket goes off. Coloured smoke will seep out around the area, and hopefully if all has gone successfully the odd rat or two will wonder out of the a hole in a daze- slow enough to quickly knock it off with a drainpipe :lol:

 

If you have a terrier at hand use it to cover any quick escaping rats.

After the foam fire extingwisher post , reminds me of the time when i borrowed Jumbo the elephant from chester zoo.

I took the said elephant to where the rabbits live ( a warren i think there called ) and got Jumbo to suck some water up through his big trunk . I then got Jumbo to put his trunk down the rabbit hole and blow water into it . The rabbits came flying out , they were very wet !

I would think this method will also work for rats !

 

all the best yis yp :thumbs:

some locals had a pet porcupine that they used to catch rats.

I had one once and tried it on the rats but he was too scared to go down the hole...

 

Spineless infact.. ;)

 

YP's elephant is best idea but best to put some thick socks on him to keep the noise down.

 

By the way do you know why Elephants have got big ears?

 

A. Because noddy wouldnt pay the ransom!!! :thumbs:

we do the same but for rabbits when the ferrets dont feel like or cant be ***** to work. we chuck a few smoke pellets. ( i dunno where u get em from but we used to use em in green house to kill bugs) n they work like a charm silent and they pour out such creamy smoke its almost impossible to see through. and wait for the nets to get full ;)

Using a 2 stroke engine is fair enough but when a terrier is on the go it spends the majority of its time with its head near the hole. Ive seen my dogs with their **** poking out of a hole and wouldnt be too chuffed if it got carbon monoxide poisoning after prolonged use.

I was horrified when I seen that Fred Carter video, working terriers put a lot of trust in you and to do that for them to get better results, well your not being honest with them. I like getting in there with them digging and tearing and they respect you more for it so get your mits dirty lads. ;)
