Thread: Bird Predator Control

Been out of action for the last month with a knee sprain so staying off the hills. Still checking about ten traps around the street but nothing for three weeks. Cleaned out about 30 rats and mice under the chestnut trees - then they just stopped - I thought they were all gone - but persistence and about a kilo of my peanut butter mix seems to have paid off - a rat came back today - poor buggar didn’t even get a feed. Its hard to keep peanut butter on traps when ants and other insects are around - the rolled oats help to keep something on the bait tray - the Victor Pro is a great trap even for mice and huge slugs that crawl all over the traps.
Don’t ever get tempted to plant chestnut trees - they are lethal for dogs feet all year around - one of those spikes in the top or bottom of a foot will cost you Vet surgery while they try to find a hidden spike in an infected foot. I need to find a dog boot solution right now - wish I knew what boots to get.
I just had a rummage through the freezer and found 2 ferret and 2 stoat tails - time to get them into H&F for the Swamp Comp - always amuses me how the sales staff turn up their noses when I put them on the counter for tail counting.
