  1. No hard feelings here steve A, i understand you have to make a touch and look out for yourself. To be honest my comment wasnt really directed at yourself but more so for killgerm with their outrageous price hikes. More of a dig at you in jest if anything, lol. I look at it this way, they are handy little traps but i managed without them before and i will manage with the couple i have until they are made available cheaper elsewhere,as im sure they will!! In the mean time its no great loss. One thing is certain, i will not have my pants pulled down and my arse smacked by killgerm. However i m
  2. can i ask what situation this trap will work , where the others wont??? These traps are good for sandy soil, ie golf courses, especially on the tees where there is very little soil. Secondly they are very discreet little traps, perfect for use where the public are likely to come across your traps. Bloody shame killgerm have the corner now with these traps a little too overpriced now for what they are worth. However it wont be long before a uk manufacturer decides to cash in and produces an equivilent type trap at a sensible price. Good for you steve A but you have now shafted us

  8. Mk4 fenns will be plenty for squirrels. There isnt much need to bait your traps if set in the correct place. You will find that mice or slugs will take your bait before the squirrels get a chance. If there is a plentyful foodsource available, likleyhood is they may even not bother with any bait. Setting traps in tunnels should be more than adequate. Squirrels are very inquisetive and will check out your traps, hopefully providing you with results. However, trap placement in some cases is important, bottlenecking a route to the feeders whilst restricting others, but not restricting access fo
  9. Its funny you mention jays!! We were talking about the increase in numbers on two of the permissions we frequent. I run larsens on both farms for magpies and in past years we have taken good numbers. This year the magpies are very few and far between but have been replaced by plenty of jays (not in the cages though). I dont mind seeing the odd jay about it makes a diference as some places we go dont have any, but needless to say thier time will come. Noisey little feckers when you get a few squabling. Looking forward to a good clear moonlit night amongst the trees. Nice shooting matey and
  10. Creosote, but the real stuff. Not your b&q substitute. and before any body starts, Yes you can buy it, they have not banned it, it is not ilegal, blah blah!!! However, you may have to provide proof of training for safe handling of pesticides. Although it is likley your local agric merchants will sell you it off the shelf.
  11. SOLD!! LOL no messing That has to be a first

  14. Hi tyla, i am in the process at the moment of arranging manufacture of the tealers only. If the manufacture cost comes back reasonable and i can generate enough interest i will hopefully have some for sale (within a month). Most of the lads i know who snare make there own tealers and would be reluctant to make enough to sell but you may fall lucky. Its one of them jobs like making matches by hand or cocktail umberellas!!! If all goes well i will let you know
  15. Give me a shout, if you can get over to me i have some spare.

  17. Thats very smart, certainly would control the mess being behind glass. How was it ventilated? and could you hear the birds sing?
  18. I will second that. Twenty quid well spent. No re-enforced knees but they are tough, waterproof and take some hammer.
  19. If you can find an out of sight run upon the banking, ideally under or around the pontoon then set a mk6 fenn or bodygrip within a tunnel, no baiting required, but make sure you restrict the size of the entrances to the tunnel. Alternatively you can dig in or chain down and cover well a cage trap. Again you may not need to bait but if you do use fresh chicken/fish, there isnt much need in trying to use off food. Mink are naturaly inquisitive and will check out your tunnel/cage out of interest. The only thing that maybe an issue is the lack of cover or banking with good runs, although they
  20. I bet you are all glad hes not in your area but he is in mine, and yes agric pest control is how i pay my mortgage and feed my kids. Not many farms up here are willing to pay you for clearing rabbits but all the other services you list on your website are chargeable services from myself and other lads in this area. Dont mind you getting permission but taking the clothes off my back is a whole different matter. Lets just hope you dont get taken too seriously, how are you going to control a serious mouse infestation with your air rifle? As to free molecatching your having a laugh, your lik
  21. Firstly other than shooting the trapped animal there isnt any other form of humane dispatch without removing it from the cage and handling it, which in many cases would not be advisable. Secondly, the aim is to corner/pin down the animal and hold it steady to enable you to perform a clean and quick kill. The use of a pair of cage combs allows you force the trapped animal back to the end of the cage and hold it there for dispatch. Drowning is not a form of humane dispatch. You could always employ the GWCT,s approach and blast it with a shotgun from ten paces. Effective but not s
