    Schoolboy, stuff,....almost,....& just about 'funny',...i suppose lol

    Just a wee update, for you chaps, Paul, told me he has the "Pest Stop" ones, as yous have said, but interestingly he also has/gets another type of duffus with even STRONGER springs,.......so he's kindly gonna send me one of each & wants my feedback,...lol,....but he did say, he remembers "i was a hard guy to please !!",.....ha ha ha (where ever would the guy get that impression, from ???) lol ,........anyway, i will certainly give the guy a wee order, again, for his courtesy, etc,.....

    I read about a case, once, & something along the lines of, all the emergency services who attended, were contaminated/affected,...big area in a hospital had to be appropriately 'sealed off' , & protective equipment, the health professionals, all had to wear, etc....right big carry on, it was.
  4. earth-thrower
    Sad, hearing that,...shame.
  5. earth-thrower
    seems to me theres getting plenty "experts" on here..., & elsewhere now anyway ?? ha ha ha
  6. earth-thrower
    Aye, a must have been enjoying myself,...lol,.........when did i ever claim to be an "EXPERT" , by the way ?,......but, aye, obviously you probably didnt deserve me having a go,..on there,...lol,....& thats as much of an apology, as your gonna get ( since your skin, is not very 'thick',.it seems ?)

    Well done, Eddie ?,....spoken like a true gent,...& all that lol,...i never directly ever asked for his " help" ??,......but your right,..i can easily,...'fling my toys out of the pram' ,...at the 'drop of a hat' again, but i try not too,....(if your refering to me, that is ?) ha ha ha
  8. earth-thrower
    No bother,...(wouldn't do any harm to try a couple, anyway, i think)
  9. earth-thrower
    New website looks better,....?,.....you know them Pest Stop, he's got , & how the Welsh moley showed the makers, 'adjustments',...well I wondered have they tried to incorporate it, at the manufacturing stage,.. or can you expect to have to 'tweak' them yourself (like others) to suit, etc,....just wondered ?

    & I don't rate it, overall , as a control method, either, .....its a very poor substitute, or a, so called 'chemical control option' alternative,.....& I cant imagine this often being first choice, under COSHH regulations, when considering whats best to use , for any jobs, circumstances ?
  11. earth-thrower
    Personally, I would like to see it go,... at least for use against 'Pest mammals' etc,...the way the 'old snow' (Strychnine hydrochloride) has for mole control.
  12. earth-thrower
    "I was panicking all day",....?????, ha ha ha ha, ....no seriously, I know EXACTLY what you mean here,..cause I experienced similar feelings, (not the same scenario, as yours), when I was actually trying to apply the stuff, against moles (& rabbits, once)

    Mate, I wouldn't know this poisons , 'mode of action' , but its really dangerous, stuff. On the labels , with the flask, it tells you "highly poisonous, when in contact, with skin, by inhalation & by ingestion, etc" Only way to be reasonably safe when using it, is to have PPE on, & a full face, respirator, would be essential, if not vital,......years ago, I sought advice off a professional Pesty, & he told me he just opens the flask , at arms length out in the open air, with NO GEAR , on !! ?,...honestly,.....such POOR advice, & i would NOT RECOMMEND, under any circumstances

    Mate, I enjoyed this,.. liked how you wrote it, & your insight !
  15. earth-thrower
    Again, good post , from you here,...?,...I differ only , in I will utilise whatever, trap, type , I have with me,...& make it fit the run,....(usually a half or full barrel,..but sometimes a Talpex (genuine), now too),...
  16. earth-thrower
    Clive, your absolutely correct,...I did purchase, from your 'BIL',...& thats so minor a point, that it wasn't worth mentioning, cause I take it you sourced & sent the traps HE sells over, or whatever ?,....(& again that's not a 'dig' !),...& if I remember only one trap,...f....d up,...so remember saying , "give us a tenner back" ? ? & I will hold onto the other, to use & for reference, (or that s what I ended up thinking)......& the rest of your statement is fairly accurate ?,...apart from "threatened your BIL",...?,....again, not quite right,......I said " I can r
  17. earth-thrower
    Oh no , wait a minute,......i do recall something about putting them in a "vice" to fix, or something...i think,.....or i heard somewhere ?
  18. earth-thrower
    Actually, forgot to mention,....i did eventually get that one back into setting position,..by luck i think, lol cause you never actually said, how too ?..but thats not a 'dig' just saying,..... (also, i actually liked setting the Putange, single , often , near the end of a tunnel system, & got plenty success that way, as well,...so versatile enough)
  19. earth-thrower
    CLIVE,......misleading,....or misinformation, what you said about me above ?,....there is a difference, cause its one or the other ?,.......the facts are (& its all on an earlier thread, anyway,...),......i bought a pair off you ? yes,...but why would i buy a load of a trap type, initially, i havent tried out before ?,....so bought the minimum amount,....& thats right, first one i practised setting,....knocked itself right out of shape !..is best way i can describe,....& YOU said, afterwards that FAULT CAN HAPPEN with them,....but its not a big issue, & they can be fixed easily

    Jeff Nicholls, a long time , traditional mole catcher, with a body of work, behind him,...books , equipment, films, etc,.....but has his faults, nonetheless ....& is the 'arch enemy' , it seems,.....of that 'gardener guy' (above) who thinks he's , 'winding ME up',.....???
  23. earth-thrower
    Anno, once you try them 'stainless' it's hard to go back to any others,...perhaps would be beneficial to have a bit extra power in them springs, at the manufacturing stage (& I've expressed this too them)....but your modifications, here once again,...looks like its definitely helped things.
  24. earth-thrower
    It's also strikes me........that your complete obsession & loathing, over Jeff, & how his plans, WILL affect you, etc,.......leaves you convinced that he holds that much influence, all his aims will realistically be achieved ...does it ? ,...cause I don't necessarily share that view, that he may have that much 'sway' , with the powers that be,....although i can't see him stop trying,...he's relentless. So it would really fit you better,...to grow some b...s ,.....instead of being seemingly 'impotent' to me , regards the whole matter ? !,......have you tried confronting him directly, by
  25. earth-thrower
    Oh, ...another 'voice of authority' has just piped up, again,....'well done' ,.....'pat on the back',...for you, & all that, here, for that contribution, CLIVE !! ?
