Thread: Bird Predator Control

Nice work on the stoats Guys
I have given up trying to get cats to put their head in a Timms or Possum Master – I have reverted to cages – got three cats that were decimating our Quail flocks in a couple of garden areas - shiny new steel or rusty old steel – they still work well – still catching a few rats, amazing how they like to scramble up the same old ponga trunk – just 16 on the spreadsheet so far this year
@BillyXmas546 has been telling me for some time to use a de-hooking gripper when handling rotten animals from traps – I had thought that a good quality pair of gloves would keep me safe
I recently got a serious skin infection on my inner thigh – likely from gloves rubbing on my trousers – always washed my gloves but did not always wash my trousers - it required a some serious antibiotic treatment – both internal and external
So I have bought a set of Burnsco hook grippers – and it does feel a lot safer – I will also start using disinfectant on my hands when I use my phone
Pic of a possum I found in a trap yesterday – a week in a trap is a long time at this time of the year – YUK – I removed the colour so it didn’t put you off your breakfast
