Thread: Bird Predator Control

Any length will do - but ripping an 1800 paling into four pieces is simple
I go to ITM and tell them I want joinery timber for trap boxes and they give me clears
A smear of PVA glue - 6 nails top and bottom - block stack them with some weight - all done!
Staple mesh on back end - hinge front end with staples at the bottom - a screw at the top to keep the kids out
Make a slider out of Real estate agent signs 100mm wide - close to full length - cut a slot for the egg to sit or for your finger to pull it out
Currently using Victor Pro traps - a couple of office staples through the slider into the trap - or a couple of small screws through a Snap-e trap into the slider
Another alternative might be a couple of slits in the slider around the length of the trap - slit it sideways and bend it up to catch the trap as you slide in and out
A 450 length box is a bit long but 3 cuts through the 1800 paling is simple - build a nest inside for the egg if you want the natural look
Bait to suit your taste - as always - I use GN Possum Paste - one of my traps pulled in a stoat a couple of days back - he wasn’t dead and didn’t give up without a scrap - I wasn’t around so had to get one of the Girls to clear it - LOL - two rats killed at the site in the last few days - rat piss is a very strong stoat lure!!!!
