Group my wife is a member of ! I think she has caught 30 rats + hedge hogs since Nov baits of choice bacon / licorice. She is a farm girl but looks would deceive though only a little dolly professional occupation she just loves catching rats
bluebird rashuns are my best bait for rats....it helps I get to eat the rest of the bag.
Any news on jumbo rat?
I use these fenn traps. In a bucket with some drain pipes attached and bait place around the inside.

Wow - that is a serious rat @Sideshow - they can’t argue with a Fenn - just remembered I have some in the shed
Hope you get that rat sorted Blisters - I know a couple of people right now that have rat problems in their compost bin - what a great source of food for rats they could come from a long way away
There has been one in my bin a few weeks back and he has chewed out the holes in the lower side of the bin - they were round but are now oval - must be a good place to grind his teeth
I had an A24 in the bin for a week or so along with the Victor - but I think the neighbor killed him because he hasn’t ben back lately
I just went out with a headlight to check - bugs had chewed out the bait on the Victor so gave them some new possum paste
Looking forward to the pictures @Blisters
PFBOP kill total in our street is now 144 pests in six months

a DOC 250 works fine on rats...so do fenns..... one each side in a trapping box works good. we got two rats and a hedgepig in first week it was set in my back section.

Here he is in the bucket.

If you have a pond or paddling pool or a pool that needs the water changed then put a pontoon or floating thing in the middle with some feed on it. Then just spotlight and shoot it. Works a charm for the duck pond.
just clicked buy now on this beauty will go check out the bin later on!Attachment 115455
ok here's first picture of no activityAttachment 115468then 1hr later after installing a ham upgrade.... ffs super rat indeedAttachment 115469
I think so @Blisters although he looks like he took a chunk out of Sweden on the way here:thumbsup:
If its got big teeth it could be a give away to who it is :)
Tie singed bacon and rind to the bloody thing with cotton.
It might be a little mouse coming in from the back of the trap :)
Attachment 115593 watch out super rat
is that a kiwi trap
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.
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.
Whatever you do, dont get caught by the smart bastard that invented a tunnel trap that you roll a docking ring onto the trigger...... supposed to catch the rat / mouse by the neck and strangle them.
They look good but I have never caught a rat/ mouse in either model yet.
Gin trap with bacon fat melted on it, or a buried gin trap on its run, covered with news paper.
Once caught a rat with a 2 tonne bail of pulp, we were just lifting out of the hold on a ship, guy on the radio spied a shadow under the bails, calmly said "come back" on the radio.
Ta Da... flat rat . Big bastard too would have been a foot long on the body. When we put it in a 20 l bucket its tail hung out the top.
The rat population is unusually high right now .As others have said, safe, well-placed and secured bait (poison) is the way to go. I've seen good vehicles badly damaged , along with houses. Even their urine, completely corrodes and wrecks stuff--as bad as cat-spray
I've killed quite a lot over the years just using crushed dry weetbix and dry cement powder mixed through.
Not the nicest method but fatal.. They go straight to water and,,,,,,,well you know what happens next..ouch.
What they take a swim and can’t because of the concert boots:wtfsmilie: go jimmy hopper :XD:
