Yeah yeah looks good in the garden not enough penetration though the smoke don't go in far enough tried it get a chain saw or strimer the smoke is forced in then

Has it as been mentioned,Chainsaw/Strimmer. Fumes are forced into the Warren Better.Not only that you get Vibration and Noise.The Rats certainly bolt better.

We've also got a 2stroke but wanted something a little quieter than the racket the 2stroke makes. If it doesn't work.... it only cost a couple of quid. :-)

ive recently bought one from arthur carter,could wait to try it. now its at the back of the shed collecting dust!

[Matthew Phillips 36]

Does it really not push the smoke down the hole? Was hoping this would work well. Will be trying it after the shooting season is over as the feeders have plenty of rats around them.

Don't give it the Pleasure of Gathering dust.Leave it out for the Scrapman.Saying that they would probably leave it.Lol

Couldn't agree more, complete waste of money, even rang up to complain and was told I was the first to inform him they weren't effective, not had any other complaints, bizarre !

Dogs have given positive marks, pumped loads of smoke down holes, seen it escaping from other holes, looks impressive, no bolts time after time, give up trying it after that, load of junk!

Nice idea, quiet but not up to the job required?

Is the Arthur Carter one the rat attack smoker mk2?

[blitz87 49]

I made one saturday morning went out witj it after dinner with my pup we bolted about 15 rats with it useing sunflower oil the smoke was going down no probz and was comeing out holes 3 metres away i need to get a 2 stroke smoker aswell test them along side each other

[Matthew Phillips 36]

Well thank god someone else said its worth something! Did you put anything on the smoke end or just crimp the tube a little? I was thinking if i used some sort of tight nozzle it'l blast out further?

 

Vegetable oil is what i'm using (it's what i found in the kitchen....)

I used the tip off a mig welder on the end, mine works OK. Don't use it much though as not in to the dogs. I made it to get rid of rats under the patio, worked well (touch wood)
