nakednutt 58 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 either weld on a longer metal pipe for the hose to screw on too, or try some flexi exhaust pipe held on with a bulldog clip Quote Link to post

shell 42 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 has any one used the rat attack if so what they think i have one and aint really had loads of luck with it We bought one recently and it was back in the post to them the following day. Luckily we got a full, no quibble refund from them. We set it up as per the instructions. It produced smoke for all of 5 minutes then got blocked. Tried unblocking it, cleaned it, cleaned the pump, the coil etc, spent hours arsing about with it. Just could not get it to work again. Got on the phone to Arthur Carters the next day and they were really good about it. Offered us another in exchange, but we we were well put off. So they got their couriers to come and collect it. I don't doubt for a minute that they are good when they are good... but we've heard so many varied reports about them. We'll be sticking to the old converted strimmer in future!

kyle86 0 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 thanks shell i aint had no problem with blocking just not had loads bolting was wondering if they aint much good or locations have been rubbish Quote Link to post
shell 42 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Kyle86 - they are very quiet compared to the strimmer smoker ... I wonder if that makes a difference as theres not as much vibration? Quote Link to post
nobjerk 161 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 thanks shell i aint had no problem with blocking just not had loads bolting was wondering if they aint much good or locations have been rubbish we have had problems with the rat attack , seems like it will work but when we were trying it in deep established warrens we were struggling to get a bolt . i think what happens is the smoke that comes immediatly from the tip is hot and looks good but as it cools on entry it just condenses to the surfaces of the runs. we had the farmer watch us with our new fantastic bit of kit only for us to smoke a place under a concrete floor of a grain store that we new held big numbers, for over 30mins with no rats . then the end ignited which sparked up all the vapour in the rat holes with a massive bang and the floor lifted. the farmer wasnt impressed and neither were we . its proper use is as an insect repeller so just not built for the job. thermal fogger is the correct term , if you google this you will find the exact model from the us at much cheaper than the uk, thank god i didnt pay uk for it as ive thrown it!!
