I had a good walk round the Park on Saturday with my wife and dog - pests are getting harder to find so maybe I am getting on top of them - 326 down so far this year
A silly possum wandered into my patch - I have always got ten Sentinels waiting for them - I have been watching Bryan Ritchie’s possum trapping videos - so now changed over to lots more flour and icing sugar blaze up the trees under the traps - this possum liked it -
I checked about thirty rat traps - but got just one rat that tried out a “Designed2Kill” box that I was gifted by a supplier - it has a Gorilla trap in it - the rat made a very poor entry to the trap and it got him across the back - I don’t think this would be a NAWAC compliant setup - a painful way to die - he even tried to exit the box - the trap got me twice before I got it back in position and set again - a very tight trap position - I am glad I only have one of these boxes - I hate to think how Mum and the Kids would handle one of these if they had one in the back yard - it is very hard to beat a standard wooden tunnel with mesh on both ends
I am also trying a Bryan Ritchie possum lure around both the possum and rat traps - peanut butter, margarine, flour, icing sugar and vegetable oil - looks and smells lovely
Yum yum yum!
