i would bait an area up for a few consecutive nights with the same bait. i some times use dog biscuits. put loose ones down for the first few nights, then on the night you are due to shoot, super glue the biscuits to the ground. that way they have to gnaw at the biscuits and it gives you time to shoot them, instead of them just getting a 1 and running off with it. hope this helps pal.

i find a tin of dog food in the tin and make some holes in it with a screw driver

I used a night vision monoclar mounted on my head with a laser sight on gun and walk about a bit .Rats are esey to stalk in dark.If you keep shooting them at the same spot they get a bit suss .

glue your bait to a board and take a tickle stick to rub up the back of your mates leg and watch him scream
