Bearing in mind I am not a pro pestie.

 

Just wondering what the ratters use to smoke them out pellets or smoke machines and what are the best brands.

Can anybody tell me how they smoke rats out of hay/straw bales without the risk of setting them on fire?

im in the process of cutting a strimmer down just now. need new piston rings for it though,. i'll put a pic up shortly for ye mate.

I'll sort out a pic tomorrow for you but it's just a cheap strimmer that the shaft to the cutting end had snapped and to be honest i just kept bending it till it snapped right off,snipped the drive cable thingy inside and then i welded a bit of longer pipe to the exhaust,you could try at a mower repair man if he's got an old stimmer or small chainsaw that runs but is fecked lying around or you could just go buy a brand new strimmer and take off the stem properly and saying that you can get them cheeper than a rat attack smoker jobby.

Rat attacks won't work when temp is below freezing.
