Thread: Bird Predator Control

That’s a nice simple doc150 box @kukuwai – the internal diversion board might be more effective than a mesh – especially for hogs that might struggle through an internal mesh – the nest egg looks great
My doc250s are placed around the external boundary lines and seem to be catching large hogs from adjoining properties – like you @sore head stoat – they are mostly head shots but they seem very dead when I see them – I reckon large mesh holes at the entrance and even larger at the internal is best – they just need to divert them to the foot plate
My doc200s are placed around internal roads and just seem to be catching rats and the odd hog – we have reduced hog numbers considerably and Quail breeding has gone well
I have a few rat few traps around our street track – just starting to get regular rat kills again – I have a specialist cannibal on one site – he usually eats out the head but last night he just chewed out the brains and left the rest of the head – I will get him soon
Bloody rabbits digging and peeing around our lawns have been driving me mad – I got a few with the slug gun but mostly when hit they keep on running – I have given up and reverted to a Fenn6 in a tunnel – fantastic medium sized animal trap – first night a rabbit, next night a big rat then a break until digging began in the lawn yesterday – then a second rabbit today – they cant resist running through a tunnel – I extended a short length of tube on one end with an open box and a dirt floor – a bit safer for the neighbour’s cat – dirt is the most attractive entrance end and easy to scratch fresh dirt each day around the entrance – they love fresh dirt
Great work trappers – keep the reports coming in – they are so interesting
