J Darcy 5,871 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Give the rat a few freeebies, that should build his confidence up. I do alot of fishing in the summer and find that 'halibut pellets' are irresistable to Mr Ratty.......give him a few days free pellets scattered about and then try for him..... Quote Link to post

bell 3,591 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Did you catch Anything yet??? Poison has been down for a few days but still hearing the odd 'scuttle'. Am sleeping downstairs for a few more days and then will have a look Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I would keep a eye on the amount of poison that is down..belive this or not i trapped around 36 mice in my mother's house several year's ago..i got sick of catching them in the end so poison was used..the poison just kept going..in the end i used 6 bag's of poison before it stopped beeing taken and the problem was solved.. Plus with rat's and the older type poison im sure they have to eat it over a period of time for it to be effective and i would not rule out that they maybe more than one.. Quote Link to post
