decky 79 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 BACON AND BROWN SAUCE MATE WORKS WELL Quote Link to post
dabigmc 23 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 where theres signs of rats and nutella chocolate they love it Ha, i was going to say bit of chocolate with peanut butter smeared on it....but Nutella, best of both worlds,genius, very good! If your trap is the one were the bait sits on the hook try using strip of bacon smothered in peanut butter r "Nutella", hook through the rind! Works all the time for me! Little critters pull at it making sure they deactivate it! Quote Link to post

hunt and fish 35 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Set in near a river or stream mate had one set in a local park in a wildlife part where its behind fences so it wouldnt get stole but plenty rats about with people feeding the ducks Quote Link to post
JRTMAD2k10 11 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 yea might do tht tonight thanks Quote Link to post
dabigmc 23 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 yea might do tht tonight thanks U will almost need to check it every night, but def every 2nd night....believe it or not but a rat needs to eat its own body weight in food every day or else it dies!!!! and another strange fact is they are vulnrable (wrong spellin, but hey) to the cold, they curl up in bedding/nests when resting to keep warm, but when in the trap are exposed to the elements and can perish very quickly over a couple of nights!

JRTMAD2k10 11 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 i set it at about 5 oclock check it a 8 or 9 then in the morning at 8 on way to school so it all good lol so stupid but has set it off last night trap was closed but mouse could fit through one of the holes Quote Link to post
