Thread: Bird Predator Control

This years ducklings staying around about 12 od must be the rats stoat and cat i killed with the doc 200 snap traps and 12 gauge 4 da cat

Nice work FatLabrador - birds soon learn when they are safe from predators

Went for a wander round the Park this morning - checked 10 stations - each has a Sentinel possum trap, Snap rat trap and a Philproof rat bait station - no possums, just five rats - possums have not recovered in the last year - but the rats are coming back
Proof that bait stations on their own don’t work - bait not touched in the Philproof bait stations but rats caught in a Snap trap on the same tree - but if you were a rat - why would you eat Ditrac rat bait when there is so much summer feed around - and blue stuff in a Snap trap

Silly young rat left his tail behind

Had a great day today - found a furry creature that had been to the Doc - I had this trap running continuously for about two years all over the property and never caught a ferret - decided to shift it two weeks ago from central positions, rear and side boundaries and now down to the boundary nearest SH2 - where I often see road kill stoats and ferrets - bingo - got one
I nailed the buggar on the post beside the Doc250 - maybe his mates will come looking and I read a few days ago that stoats are attracted to ferret scent - plenty round there!
Also been getting rats back up the Quarry Park - five a couple of days ago - but no possums - they have not recovered in the nine months I have been away - but looks the rats have recovered well
