Thread: Bird Predator Control

I have seen several situations lately where three rats are seen in broad daylight around houses and people ask for help – I have put three boxes where the rats were seen – but in a week or so no luck – I suspect they have local food – perhaps local fruit trees and are not interested in trap bait – avocado, feijoa, citrus etc make great rat food
I have a few traps around the street tracks and two boxes get something most days – blood and bodies lying nearby don’t worry the new victims – if it’s a family they just keep coming

Seems to be lots of mice around at present – I know mouse traps are good – but I keep using the trusty old victor pro – mostly single kills, but occasional double and treble kills – the fluid is Rentokill ant kill gel – great stuff https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/rento...200ml/p/141801

I watched this mouse walk all over a new Victor Pro in a kitchen a year or so back – it wasn’t until he climbed over the front of the foot plate that he tripped it – a good example of how they need to enter a trap front on – or in the case of a trap on a ramp – it keeps them in line with the trap and even trips up the big buggars


Round the street I am using peanut butter with the occasional change to possum paste or blue stuff – a change is often a killer
