Exactly what i thought -
Multi catch rat/squirrel trap

Generally most multi catch are too small to be really affective at catching more than 2 or so at a time. but Watch this video and towards the end the guy makes a multi catch one and explains it a bit. I would cover the trap with straw or hay to offer cover, They are quit nervy otherwise of entering things. -
Evening Eddie hope your well Yes it looks a bit quiet on here to say the least, I will try and do a few post new year and get some content up. its all gone a bit mad in the world and closer to home too! we live in changing times and i do feel we have lost our way with all the stupid politics and strange changes in society. Will it end well? Probably gonna get a lot worse before it changes to a better direction. Catch up New year. All the best.

Crikey i just logged on for the first time in ages and it looks very quiet on this side of the forums. Was hoping to see a few trap and snare posts but it looks like nobody is much interested in posting stuff. Diggermad its probably best to just buy a couple of new ones, buy originals not copies is my advice and think about suitable locations and housing options 'tunnels' ect cos the old fenn traps do jump up! buying second hand is alright but they often need a good service bit creaky and bent up or covered in old unwanted mess. Treat yourself to a pair of new ones. Are you using the

20 odd years ago we did some jobs in liverpool for the big R but im unsure if they are still there. They were pretty rare back in the 90s and were limited to a few areas. Goodluck in your Quest

If you just wanna see them try these guys as they have them in a pen for pest control training, I saw them when i did the new rodenticide licence training. Pelgar Pest Managment consultants Church Farm Cl, North Waltham, Basingstoke RG25 2BN tel : 01256 391300 Give them a quick call see if they still have them. The brown rat pen is quit interesting too. All the best

The problem Chaff is the stored honey and residue that will attract new bees. Most old established colonies like the one stated will require the chimney stack to be stripped back and cleaned before a blocking gauze/mesh is fitted under the pot and correct pointing and sealing of the stack is done. Lighting a fire to smoke them out of a disused old stack may risk causing a chimney fire due to honey being flammable. Remember the stack is probably not used and the fireplace is probably long gone and not even there to light the fire anyway.

Thats the problem at the moment there seems to be more walkers and bike riders everywhere makes things a bit difficult on places with footpaths, its like a bank holiday in some areas. dirksdonuts seems to do alright with the pigeon maybe see if you can add a bit of visual attraction with one of them swingin around. trouble with offal and baits this time of year is the damn flies. Anyway hope you get some results and sort your problem?

Cats can often make a external rodent problem a internal one, Over the years i have had many jobs due to cats bringing mice and young rats into the house alive and thus letting them escape!

You will be lucky to cage trap the fox around a free range rural situation. Snaring is a much better option as it can take quite a while to coax a rural fox into a cage this time of year due to the abundance of food elsewhere. When you walk around the farm you will smell where the fox has been and if you stick some decent snares about on these run throughs and walkways you will have better chance imo. Always try to locate the den if the ground permits and deal with the cubs too,these can be snared around the den quite easily,or you can sit back and pick them off as they emerge with

Nature can be cruel! I would set some wires for the cubs too if the ground and range permitted. I suspect its a livestock protection situation so its a probably a necessary evil. Unfortunately young offspring do suffer sometimes in nature when the parent is killed whether by a human or the fox itself. Its a emotive subject.

Welcome back on the forum, This site now seems a shadow of its former self but hopefully you and others will return to make it great again. I dont get many rabbits down my way anymore because the disease has killed em all off. Conservation status red lol. So I enjoy seeing lads getting out on em. I just watched an old vhs video with yourself and Snareman LEARNING THE GAME just yesterday! And here you are posting again. Hope you stick around and find time to post up some stuff
