I see in my post above I said sunflower seeds. Sorry but that’s wrong pumpkin seeds is best. You can use a needle and thread them onto the trigger. So they really need to tug at it to get it lose. Draws them in when there dry as well as wet.

while on the subject of baits for rats a student did a study in Waimana some years ago when they set up the mainland Island in there for Kokako - what do rats like = okay no 1 peanut butter - 2 - white choclate buttons - 3 - marzipan ( that yellow heavy layer they put under icing on a cake - sadly Tuhoe have chosen to let that whole project go to ruin

Another 2 today for the Pud
a little piece of cellotape gives 3-4 mice per peanut butter bait
Something about the yellow eyed versions, the bastards are lethal and proud of it. This one I have is by far the best hunter I've had (damn it, getting sick of cleaning up the blood off the carpet). He goes outside in the pissing rain in the storms just gone, less than 5 mins and back with a mouse looking like he's had to swim for it. Take the mouse off him, dry him off so he's not dripping all over the bloody house and feed a few treats and bugger me, back out into the wild and back in about 3mins this time with another mouse. Repeat drying off, treat regime. Ok back out the cat flap you arsehole I see what's happening here, trade treats for carcasses. Back in about 6 mins with a freaken rat! This time, dried off, rat in bin, treats awarded, cat flap locked, pissed off kitty. Not putting up with that shite all night.
