jamesleee123 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi fellas, as some of you know I've had a few rats in the garden, my son and I have shot a couple using peanut butter as bait, however every time I put bait out my pain in the ar$e Saluki keeps eating it. Any ideas for a bait the hound won't eat , he's literally just come in eating one of them filled coconut feeders that had blown off.

Perazzishot Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I have to say that is irresponsible. If your dog can get to it any non target animal can. But a tamper resistant bait station (around £3) peg it down in the the garden with the bait secured inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesleee123 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Its not poison I'm putting down its just peanut butter to keep the rat still enough to shoot. I just wondered if there was any other bait that the dog wouldn't eat but would entice a rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Could you put it up off the ground so the dawg can't get to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesleee123 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Both neighbours have open bird tables, so the rats are moving between, my feeders are all the hanging type but obviously with spillage the rats stop to feed. My boy and I have shot 4 in the last month or so and the squirrels haven't been near for ages, they just scamper along the back fence and never come to feed.
