paulk73 151 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 bit of peanut butter and some chocolate spread thin the mix out abit with oil should do the job!!! i have just put some of this stuff out last night on one of my perms. looking forward to seeing the results later on. will check this afternoon. I don't expect to have had much activity last nite. but maybe when they have settled in to the disturbance i will take a few off the bait. Quote Link to post
browning gts 11 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 evening all i have had success with penut butter and chocolate , but by far the best stuff i reckon is raip meal (osr) it the byproduct of oilseed raip oil and we feed it to the cows , they will cross the yard for it all night long ,. cheers Quote Link to post

treecreeper 1,136 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 rats will eat anything true, but no food = no rats, so just use whatever they are eating already. Quote Link to post
whippet pup 0 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Peanut butter is the one! Quote Link to post
optelic2 48 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Ive never bothered much with bait all my rat perms are in and around grain barns and they seem pre-occupied with the grain. Quote Link to post
santons 2 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 As said above the best bait is normally whatever they are already eating,corn,barley etc. remember rats are neophobic (wary of anything new) so any new baits should be introduced slowly for best results if you have nothing else to do have a read of this http://www.ratbehavior.org/FoodChoices.htm Quote Link to post
