    I brought A24 Rat 5 Pack for $747.50 from the good nature web site and they did not come with counters.
    I do see that for $199 you'll can buy a single A24 Rat & Counter kit. So it seems $5 better off on this option.
    I'm thinking I'm gunna buy one more counter, put some cameras on them and see what happens.
    Cheers.

    Hope they work well @kukuwai - I have never used counters on the seven I have at the farm - just keep putting new gas bottles on every few months - they are cheep
    I have got eleven new A24s with counters ready to put out at the Park - just trying to assess manpower, tracks and gaps between tracks that can’t be trapped on the tracks - just wanting to put them in shit holes that are hard to access
    I am thinking that I will mount them on 400mm long pieces of 75*25 mounted at about 30 degree slope - I reckon that rats like tunnels and ramps and don’t like looking above themselves
    I have had a lot of success with ramps using A24s and standard traps - I think that the one in the picture is a bit steep but easy to change by clipping on a lower fence wire - I see that GN are now offering a plastic ramp as an accessory - strange - when I suggested it a couple of years back they said that vertical mount was the way to go - the picture shows how my lure bottles mixed with olive oil and aniseed keeps on dribbling - the new GN lure dispensers will push out the lure daily
    Hope you can show us some pictures - good luck with the A24s and counters
    Feather or Shoot and kukuwai like this.
