Thread: Rat Mission

good results at the kennels last night, 3 of the bastards

We get mice and rats all year around the house, they come in when it gets cold and i've given up on traps. Just keep up with Talon baits in down pipe tubes all around. Got to keep refilling the pipes as they are hungy buggers

Hi Bully.

Here is the DOC page on how to build a rat trap tunnel. I have some of the coreflute version, but have not found the plans on the internet. You can use this plan and add coreflute for the top and side walls. Most real estate companies have coreflute they give away once a property has sold.

bluebird rashuns are awesome bait.....and you get to eat rest of bag.....the scent is strong so carries a long way....tie on with cotton.

Thanks very much Lucky for letting people know about my traps! I am also wellie.yank on Trade Me. or www.deadrat.co.nz

Hi MSL,

How big is the mesh ? Those entrance holes look awfully small ?

Will put some plans for building Rat Trap tunnels on seperate Post @Dead Rat

Yeah not real big, should probably open it up a bit. In saying that, I’ve caught some massive rats in it and a couple of hedgehogs, extracting them would be easier if the holes were bigger.

Caught another last night, but also opened up the netting a bit, I’d hate to be called out for discriminating against plus-size rats etc
