MK38 Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Is that still legal ? Nasty business gassing.... surely someone could shoot or ferret them if they were a real problem. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v-max Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Yes it still legal & i know about ferreting have 3 & done it for 14yrs but to deal with them on a proper scale & time gasing is good & a very good way to control rabbits but like many thing in life has its good/bad points. I hoped with the broad knowledge on her someone would know or help with info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 I believe phostox has gone the same way as cymag, as in you can`t get it anymore as the manufacturers do not have a license as they feel it is too expensive to have it tested(they have to get it tested at regular periods) compared with their returns. Or thats how it was explained to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnybasher100 Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 you need to get a lantra or npta ticket to buy aluminium phosphide. its stuff not be messed about with as the gas has no antidote. If you go on the course and follow the trainning its a very good way of controling rats moles and rabbits outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rattymole Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi Vmax ; yes Phostoxin ( Alumimium Phoside ) is still legal but you will need to go on a training course to enable you to buy the product ; give Lisa Wales a ring at Killgerm 01924~268445 they are doing several training course;s in Scotland ; but to be honest with you ; you;ll be wasting your time / money this time of the year for as the stinging nettles etc are growing and you only have to miss one pop~hole and all the gas will escape !! If you can trap them with Fenn mk6;s /snares or rifle the rabbits you soon will make an inroad in the population; I myself as a professional pest controller do not rate the stuff !! and in the wrong hands it is LETHAL ; as you probably know you must never use Phostoxin in the rain ; as the Aluminium Phoside re~acts with moisture if you did and screwed the lid down ; you would be walking around with a live hand grenade and if the explosion didn;t get you the gas would !! The course;s are £95 ; plus you will need a Talpex applicator £93 + vat plus gas at £22 + vat per cannister that;s a lot of money ; just think how many traps/ snares/ammo you could buy with that money ? hope this has been of some help to you Vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highlander Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Get yourself one of these before they make them illegal http://www.rodenator.eu/ Saw a demo the other day, lethal things (and not just to bunnies although not much evidence of that) and doubt that it'll be too long before someone gets hurt either using one or by some ****h*** playing around.

rattymole Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Hi V Max ; no problem ; hope I;m not trying to teach my grannie to suck eggs ? just a few tips ; take loads of tools with you ; i:e loping shears ; bill~hooks ; slashers etc ; and obviously a couple of spades ; just in case one breaks also during the summer months collect as many plastic flower pots as you can; from large to small ; apply the gas then stuff the flower pot down the hole ; this stops the gas being covered by soil and less digging / back filling ; hope this advise has been of some help best regards Rattymole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-a-s Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 or failing the flower pots you could also use old potato bags easier to carry paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
