    Bottom line bad cop gone to jail quite rightly for killing a man. I doubt that police man would have cared if his victim was white , Asian , black or martian. Mean while thousand spread deadly disease in middle of pandemic undoing all the hard work and sacrifices people made to stop NHS being over whelmed. i suspect the protesters are the same ones who turn up at any demo for a bit of fun/drama , Brexit, anti Trump any thing that is trendy . protesters should be utterly ashamed of them selves , they will probably kill far more than US police ever could in a year by spreading corona , thats

    Ive just sold my fenns . i use them for my pest company , they are far better than snap traps but Id had quite a few foul catches recently ( using proper sized tunnels ) . Been using black cat rat traps in lofts and they are very good and seem to over come neophobia in rats and catch fast. Theres a company now does folding cages for black cats so may be my go to trap. So far no foul catches even the ones which appear to have had a glancing blow are dead with in three feet of the black cats , they are quite well built to . only complaint i ve heard on one forum is if fired empty the plastic c

    Just bought this as a lock down time killer, shoots worn finish but not rusty stock needs a good sand and will stain and wax . Will get a kit to service it with after polishing up all the internals , should make a good gun for my pest control business . Should be a good time killer!! Paid 90 pounds which is high end but ok as this should be a pretty good gun when finished . TR Robb does a strip down DVD for it so sorted!. Make up some stain for stock with wire wool and vingar and got a wax kit already from another project some years ago. Supposed to be a copy of Anshutz 355 (Webleys vers

    Rehomed some bumble bees for a customer who was pulling an old shed down yesterday, hope they do well in their new home , one wasp nest lined up for after lock down, lots of "wasp" call outs which turn out to be solitary bees which we dont treat, just educate Bees in my van about to go to new home

    Buy a Fenn trap and make up a wire tunnel. Dig a little trench out for the fen so its level with ground ( although they will also work just placed on floor in tunnel) , sieve some earth over fenn ( make sure you dont fill under trap pan or it wont go off) so its hidden and sprinkle corn or similar over trap , catch very well , not had even trap shy rats avoid them . You can buy a MK 4 Fenn for around eight pounds and they really are one of the best rat traps out there , just need to be covered in a tunnel to prevent non target species getting caught . rats are neophobic so some times take a f

    Well success!!! third rabbit job this winter . Down to prebait ?? probably not but caught 24 rabbits in ten days cages plus five in fenn 6. Also got a stoat and a rat!!! The property is only an acre or so but surrounded by woods fields and bramble patches , most Ive ever had. Owner was happy for me to set traps out (Fenns dug in on safety) but didnt want set as guests had a dog. So ten minutes every other day and threw some carrors / apples in cages and left . After guests gone cages set , Caught young rabbit in one of the first traps I set before I had set the last, six next morning

    I have spray painted my cage traps camo green and also placed a small piece of carpet in entrance covered in dirt so the rabbit dosen't feel the wire under its feet when going in. If it makes a difference Ill let you know, going to use carrot , sweet corn on cob and apple after a good prebait. latest job can leave traps down so will prebait for a week

    I run a pest control company on Isle of Wight, I only do job work so no contracts . The non toxic baits are likely to attract rats and mice I would consider tracking powder in a box on a contract as its less likely to attract rats or mice to site but should still indicate whats about?. No difenacoum resistance so far as i can see here . Although mice seem to eat more before expiring than rats . Using brodifracoum on big mouse jobs . Nara blocks look a good option don't attract rats mice but show gnawing etc??

    Just read this. I use cage traps for my pest control company. I have pre baited for about a week with carrots and apple slices . Both the jobs i have done so far have been areas with public access so traps down last thing at night and picked up in morning around 5am (which may not help get rabbits used to traps ). Had ten rabbits off first site about a third of population. Two night shoots to follow with NV and air rifle. It would be perfect for snares but for dog walkers who start at 04:30 hours !! I kid you not!. About to do second site again public access but I can lock gates and rest is f

    Hi Looking to purchase some humane kill rabbit traps , thinking Fenn 6 however also been looking at body grips question I know bodygrips need to be set in tunnels checked daily etc but dose "a tunnel" for legal purposes include a natural tunnel such as rabbit warren?? Fenns are a bit cheaper but body grips seem like they would be easier to store and carry?/ Your thoughts would be appreciated

    25 + year old BSA Lightening , few knocks but going strong

    Peanut butter or chocolate spread mixed with , bit of cooking oil and some fish pellets for koi or oat meal , rats love them and they have to really work at the trap plate to get it because its quite slippery and so they are more likely to trip trap.

    The guns got a V mach kit in so shoots a bit better than standard putting out around 11FTLB in .177

    Thanks for interest i sold my PCP to pay some bills so I am quite happy with the little BSA, its been serviced witha V mach kit by Lyn Lewington and is very accurate

    So out with Supersport tonight to a small set of horse paddocks , set up facing along a hedge and after an hour or so got a ten meter shot and rabbit one in the bag. About to pack up an hour later and glanced behind , four rabbits feeding about ten meters from the hedge about 30 meters away. Slowly skooted round on my bum and sat on the floor, rested my elbows on top of my thighs and took a sitting shot , rabbit two rolled over with out a twitch. One rabbit sat on alert and the two others ran in. I checked my back drop , horses out the way and took third shot rabbit rolled over , kicked a coup

    Hi all been shooting for about 35 years now , shoot mainly air rifle for hunting . Rabbit are main quarry and despite PCPs making things easier ive reverted to a BSA lightening (brum made ) in 177 and its knocking the rabbits flat out to 30 meters !!! Dont get out much these days as i am starting my own commercial pest control company (main will be rats , mice , moles , poaches and other insects ) after many years of working for the state , My coverage to include rabbits , foxes etc so a little bit of shooting may come via contracts etc. Look forward to reading posts and will be after some
