Thread: rat help

i have a rat in the compost bin that so far has tripped the standard Victor three times.... this morning the trap was half way down his hole and had been tripped... how do u deal to super rat? definitely not going to poison.

anyone used these?

I would so but he's a pussy

Cover the compost heap with plastic and use exhaust gas from car, toss the neighbors cats in under the plastic for good measure.

Two or three gin traps set beside each other

Singe some bacon and lash it to the trap trigger with cotton (so it can’t come off easily) Tie or pin down the trap so the rat can’t run away with it then set the trap and wait. The delay caused by the cotton not giving will go toward the trap snapping closed on the rat. Try it and thank me later.

Also set the trap with some bricks forming an alley so that the rat can only access the trigger/bait from the best angle.

awesome thankyou lads, will post results later on

you should never have invited your local MP around in the first place....................

This is my pencil case trap, works well as bait does not need to be placed on trap but can be stored at other end of box, a toddler could put their hand in the hole, but usually only once...you will notice plenty of chew marks around entry hole so shows it is not exactly humane at times but gives the rat plenty of time to tell his mates to fuck off elsewhere.

I'll make one at work tomorrow, as im sure old mate ratty knows about the Victor now.. funnily enough last year the other rats would eat the one that had been trapped .
looks to be 250x 90x 90?
what trap on the inside?

The trap is an old Hanes...I have heard rumors they are not allowed to be used for possums, but I don't know about rats.

Super rat? Might be best to take the long approach - set up a suitable position - in hiding - night vision scope on the 270 - with 160 grain pills (or whatever else you have ) - When you see him - he will be a gonna - Beauty of this - you do not need to get within 200 yards of him - and provided your nerve holds he will be no more. whatever you do - do not undergun
