Ive made a few over the year's..but instead of messing about making load's i got hold of a badminton net and cut it up to size which was a lot quicker and easier..

I was intrigued about rat nets. A lot of

Guys cut both ends out of a baked bean tin, put a leg of stocking over the bean tin and forced the tin into the hole. Very effective and cheap.

I would of thought a rat would be reluctant to bolt into something like that..

Me too mate, been reading 'of pedigree unlnown' says they used to use the methods to catch them alive for selling on to eat pits etc. I put a post up about it in the ferreting section and terrier

Section and it seems a lot of people use/have used it to good effect. They said you can hear hear where the rat bolt because of the tin.

 

This book says the rat catcher put the live rats down his shirt until he had a chance to put then in a sack..... Said his party trick was putting the ferret and the rat down his shirt to fight eachother.......

 

Just from a book but how

True some of them are I don't know

in that book i put a link to on the other thread the bloke says it was ok to put your hand in somewhere with 100 of`s rats but you would get bitten if there was only 1 . they made lead lined boxs to take the rats to the rat pits of london ftom manchester on the train

Fascinating stuff I like hearing and reading about the old methods of trapping and snaring. Some of the stuff I've seen in

Books is pure geniius

this bloke was ferreting under the floors of the old mills in manchester in the 1800`s and his method of baiting gin traps is class soot and oats
