Thread: Bird Predator Control

I have been away for three weeks - so decided to get around my lines in the Park - checked about 80 traps - most were still set but lure was gone - just two rats - so numbers are low
I have eleven Sentinels around the bush edge along with some Timms closer in the Park - I went back yesterday to check a couple of Sentinels on a perimeter ridge - one site keeps on catching them - maybe they come back to check on their old mates that I leave hanging in a nearby tree
My Sentinels are about six years old, rusty and the covers are mouldy and breaking up - so I am giving them a fresh look with new core flute covers - most are on pine trees so they should get some visitors while the pines are in flower - fantastic traps with solid state lures on the bait tray - set them and forget them - a trapped possum will wait to be cleared
I removed my street traps while away - put five back out a few days ago - one rat first night, left him on top of the box - another rat in same box second night - left them both on top but nothing more - they often come in pairs - hard to beat a pile of old toitoi for a rats nest
