Thread: Bird Predator Control

Nothing exciting around the Park – just the odd possum, hog and rat – numbers are low after we put a session of Contrac through the place
We had a cat stealing rats from boxes up one ridge – so I put a possum master on a ramp – a piece of rabbit for bait and got him in a few days
A bit of action around the Street –
I got a cannibal down the side track – a very large Norway – the Victor didn’t hold him but he was stunned and had a long rest in the box
Getting big Norways coming up from the avocado orchard
I have been after a rabbit digging holes in my lawn but he doesn’t seem keen to run through the tunnel - I got a bit excited when I found an animal in the Fenn6 – hoping it was the lawn digger – but turned out to be another big Norway – the Fenn6 clamped him but he was still very much alive – so I had to go and get the air rifle for a head shot – I was surprised that the Fenn6 didn’t kill him – but he was big and strong
I have a cage on a property down the bottom of the street – the owner found a half-eaten rat pulled out of a Victor Pro – a very delicate eater so thought it would be a cat and suggested he put the rat body in the cage – he found a ferret in the cage next morning – so they are still around
Amazing to think we have Norways and ferrets roaming around our properties – no wonder the dog gets excited about scent trails on the lawn

I cannot catch rats at the moment. I've got them in the roof of the house and chicken coop.
I've used peanut butter, blue smooth paste, walnuts, eggs, mayonnaise, biltong, salami and cheese. Nothing I'm using will catch the mongrels.
There must be so much food around they won't go in the trap.
GRRRRRR
