    I was starting to think that old mate super rat had moved on... so I bunged a bunch of compostable kitchen scraps in the bin too see if there was any activity. I had the egg carton all done up and put a little smoked kawhai in it too for good measure...... yep he's still there Name:  20190725_190425.jpg

    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Yes, you need to wear rubber gloves but as berg243 writes he is 'just messing with you'. Who knows where else he is dining, he might have half a dozen compost bins plus pet kibble spots on his round. Meaning that he can be selective and is not driven by hunger.
    Grab a 50hz capacitor and make Nicola Tesla proud. Build one of those most excellent 'electronic' jobbys like @charliehorse linked yesterday.
    Make a hero of yourself Blisters and get em

    time out has been trying to get me here for a while... so here goes my first post.

    Do you move your rat trap ? Rats are neophobic [scared of new objects in there home range] so if you are continually moving it ol rattus aint going to be happy seeing this new object in its home range. He wont realise its the same object.. if its been moved, its a new object.



    https://bpca.org.uk/Test-News/rat-be...control/222905

    It say in the link to put your trap in the box unset and let rattus wander in and out and let him get some confidence, then set the trap and give it the bad news.

    Interesting and funny thread.

    haha, to be fair I've started to enjoy the "hunt" and I'm going to be happy but sad at the same time when it's over
