Ditto, fekn useless. However, just beside it, I did score a trophy rat in a double-ended Fenn box using an egg in the middle. Was after stoats but a rat is a lot better than nothing.

You are making blimmin hard work out of catching this rat.
Victor trap.. bait goes on the yellow treadle. You may catch it on an egg but its highly unlikely you will get a clean kill and more likely it will trip the trap, get away and you then have a very trap shy rat. Ditch the egg. Peanut butter on the treadle and a bit right at the entrance to the trap. LEAVE THE TRAP IN THE ONE PLACE, DONT KEEP MOVING IT. Replace the peanut butter at the entrance to the trap as it eats it, refresh the pb on the treadle after 2 weeks, put the trap back in the same place. Mr rat will eventually make a mistake.
had a looksee for the black trap that I had set at the back of thr compost bin and forgotten about after it had failed and I got the Victor in the box.. Attachment 117394 that's one down, now I just need the blighter messing with me

A funny story from Stewy Island from the other day.
The Island has been going through a rat plaque in the last few months due to the mast fall.
F----n rats every where.
One of the locals put his gumboot on the other day to feel what he thought was a sock in the bottom of one of his boots.
So pulled boot off and shook it out, to ratty falling out and made his escape into the bush.
I bet he checks his boots everyday now.
@223nut time to check ya gummies :thumbsup:
