willum 89 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 how do mate your better off buying a old chain saw or strimmer they may be a bit noisy put are alot more effective them rat attack smokers nozzles clog up you have to use there SPECIAL mineral oil for some reason on a slightly windy day they havent got the umph to get the smoke down and into the holes to make the rats bolt and the smoke just drifts away but if your hell bent on getting 1 mate urad arthur carter used to sell them i think but take it from me pal 2 stroke is the way to go atb willum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 its horses for courses really, if you out in the open, away from people/buildings, then yes go for any old 2 stroke engine and some pipe, but if your ratting around buildings, maybe where noise would be an issue, then the rat attack comes into its own, quite as anything, and dont give you a stonking headache from any fumes (unlike petrol engine) have used mine on windy days, never had it go out, yes some of the smoke can/will get blown away, but using an extension pipe, it fills the holes nicely Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tallpauljcb1 5 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 thanks for the replies. So using 1 in the garden would be out the question? I can only find the 1 website that sells them and they are expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stubby 175 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 as luck would have it, one of my permissions has phoned me about an hour ago, with a rat problem around his chicken coop, Im heading there tomorrow with the rat attack and "smart" the jrt, so I'll take the video camera, get some clips of it, and put it up here for you to see WATCH THIS SPACE..... no the fumes are non toxic, so the rats just bolt, but our jrt normally makes quick work of them no reason why it cant be used in the garden Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 as stated, have got a strimmer engine too, but tomorrows job is on a goat milking farm, and noise is an issue to a nearby resident, so the rat attack is the correct tool for the job the last time we used the strimmer engine we had a great day, but boy, all of us went home with REAL STINKING HEADACHES Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GET THEM OUT (.)(.) 39 Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 as the above said they are both effective in different situations, i use both to a good result, and i only get the head aches when chasing the rats myself and normally head butt the branches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
