Lukehunt 15 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 hey guys iv just bought a brand new live rat trap and put it in a good location for rats, i know 100% they are there but im really confused why they wont go in, iv had it there for about a week now and still no sign of anything, iv been using all kinds of bait suck as peanut butter etc, i heard its because the trap is brand new but i dont see why this would make a difference to the rat, how does the rat know its brand new lol? please reply guys i need help, thanks in advance Quote Link to post

TWOTWOTHREE 152 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi like jockey said make sure it's up against a wall or side of a shed.I Lean a bit of ply up so it's in the dark.what bait are u using? I've been using kibble wheat with a bit of honey drizzled on it and mixed it up then smeared it on the trigger plate, it works for me.give it time u will catch.when I move the tunnels with the fenns in to a new place it's usually a few days before they start to catch,rats dont like changes in their environment.
