The 12...3 1 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 We've got big problems with rats on the farm this year, more so than ever. Were doing all the usual things i.e baiting up, few traps etc. But an old boy i know was telling me about his mate back in the day that used to use planks of wood covered in some sort of sticky stuff which got the rats as they ran along it, and also a he used a 45 gallon drum half filled with water but with a sort of see-saw board on the rim. Anyone still use stuff like this and is it effective? Or is it just bollocks ATB The 12...3 1 Quote Link to post
