earth-thrower 493 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Peststop,bethel Rhodes and flatpack.j have never tried the bethel Rhodes traps, what are they like, I love the flat pack stainless traps, very good in this acidic soil up here, last for ages, Aye, a currently use & like those "stainless traps", & importantly can work with them ?,......"bethel Rhodes" were popular (maybe still are ?) at one point, but their 'quality' certainly dipped. in recent times ? (dont know about now ?) Quote Link to post
earth-thrower 493 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Same as the above.I did a field for a farmer and had a few traps nicked (do gooders I think as my markers were slung into the hedge) I told the farmer and he said just call in for payment when you've done . When I picked up my payment he went over to his truck and pulled out a box containing 25 new peststop traps in individual boxs...well I've used em since and I couldn't fault em. I never use markers where members of the public have access to the land. Indentations on mole hills, strands of wool, white spray paint; anything that'll point me to the spot but won't catch the eye of a footpather. Thats sensible, enough..but i personally never use any type, of evident marker,... Edited October 22, 2017 by earth-thrower Quote Link to post
