Rat attack smoker V petrol smoker

[slingshot 0]

Question which is best.

I have used both types of smokers for flushing rats from there holes and each time I find chainsaw smoker works best. The smoke seems to work through the borrows quicker and i think the noise also help. People say they tend to break down, most of the time it is just a fouled plug and carrying a plug spanner will solve this. Petrol and oil is far more easier to get a hold of.

Rat attack smoker is lighter in weight, but seem to be more difficult to get the smoke down into and through the borrows and flare up are also a problem. The fuel and oil are also less available and the oil tank on the bottom of the rat attack smoker keeps falling off. Vegatation fires are also a problem in dry conditions.

a farmer we do alot for has just bought me the rat attack smoker, , it seems to produce alot of smoke quicker than a strimmer engine, i found the smoke from the rat attack travelled alot quicker thro the holes, , but it didnt like the cold weather, not sure if the gas froze up ? or the coil wasnt hot enough, think the petrols are the best option, plus the noise and vibration moves the rats also,

they dont like the wind either mate , all in all they are very unreliable , petrol much better

Couldn`t agree more, binned my rat attack, put my motors on the shelf for a rainy day, bought myself a new leaf blower, tried it all this season to good effect, kinder to the dogs nose too.

i've got a rat attack smoker and dont rate it at all, i've never bolted any rats with it. and i've noticed its does stuggle in the cold weather, waste of money. i'll stick with my ferrets in future.

Thin metal pipe welded to exhaust outlet and returned to fan. Fan drags in air, fumes/smoke. In addition to this a small tank is fixed to top of motor with a tap. If the rats dont bolt by air alone crack open tap, drip feeding diesel into a well in the hot engine, the diesel will vapourise into smoke. You may have to just leave engine ticking over though as if you put it on full throtle it just blows the smoke straight in and out of warrens and you cant see a thing.

Hope this helps

fitted a braided hose to our strimmer engine for 5er lot better than our rat attack wich goes out in the wind we,ve found that cooking oil works just as well as the dear stuff on the rat attack
