Thread: Bird Predator Control

I have been checking a few lines in my exercise Park up the road - I can just about see a possum in a trap from my front windows - accompanied by my wife and dog so I am fairly safe
I had a three week break for leg surgery so the rat traps are a disaster zone - tripped and scavenged - the odd part head and some fur is best evidence of a kill
Hogs in doc250s - yuk - it’s been a while since possums came over the gully and into the danger zone - but they now seem to be on the move - a bad decision for about six of them recently - Sentinels are always ready and waiting - one trap got torn off a tree a month or so back so he must have been a big one - I can confirm for you @Dead Rat - that your Flipping Timmy does the biz - even with dried out apple - but as an experiment - I have mounted it a bit lower on the tree and fitted a Connovation lure tube on the bait rod - the same flavour that I use on the Sentinels - I love the smell of aniseed - still leaving the possum with a choice of a Timms on the stump or the Timmy on the tree
Mindie cant understand why I leave dead possums up a tree - too high for her to reach or she would cart it back to me - just realised why she is slow to follow me off a possum trap site - little buggar likes the blue stuff I plaster on the tree and licks it off
Always amazes me how a rat gets into a doc200 and gets killed on the way out - what lousy luck
I am still running about six boxes around the street perimeter track - getting a few mice and a rat every day - got a big Norway a few days back - bloody mice in the garage have got me beat - but it was cold and wet this morning and pretty sure he ran back outside
