    Some good advice there.
    And you can do your bit for conservation by helping keep our backcountry pristine and carry in a bucket of Rat Bait.
    But don't just spread it around or toss it under the hut, It'll only get carted away and stored in just one or two nests.
    Nail it to pieces of firewood and leave it in dry sheltered places.
    Or if you visit a campsite regularly.... Leave a couple of Victor #1's, that you've pre hair triggered, permanently nailed around the camp perimeter.
    But don't leave them set when you walk out. That's just too cruel if you catch a possum and it lingers for days in the trap.
    In just one camp over 2024, I caught 26 rats, 1 mouse, 5 hedgehogs, 7 possums and 1 cat
    The easy thing is, it all happens while your sleeping
