    Tie singed bacon and rind to the bloody thing with cotton.
    Wirehunt and 7mmsaum like this.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yup! Works a treat and you need fuck all for the trap so you get to have a bacon sandwich or two with the rest of the packet.

    To be far those plastic pyramid compost bins are a hopeless creation regardless of their rat attracting properties. I have got one to and they are useless for composting. Worms disappear out of them, they get cold, get uneven wet patches and are hopeless when you want to turn the compost. Despite many attempts I could never trap a rat in my bin - bastards seem to dig / flick crap over the trap. Resorted to poison under the veranda, much as I dislike it.

    Tail docking has been outlawed in NZ for cows and dogs. What is the reason for the partial tail docking of Rats in the UK Sideshow ??

    And here I was thinking that it might re-direct growth to the body for 'heaviest rat' competition rats, in the same way as thinning pumpkins or picking out the laterals on tomatoes does.

    Nar it’s all the grain around here! They get pretty well feed! A chicken farm near here has sheds on sleds. They move them once a year and dragging them out after setting up rabbit nets and have a pack of jack Rüssels let lose. Not unusual for them to get 500 from each shed. A big pheasant shoot up the road goes through over a ton of poison a year, more economical to buy and place poison than lose there feed to the rats.
