Well, boxes certainly have their uses and all the modern ones funnel the rat to the kill zone and are very effective, you don't need fenns, normal traps are very effective.  To be honest I don't find it economical, either financially or time wise to make boxes these days.

I buy trade at much cheaper than this, but even if I had to pay this price they are still good.

I see the trap is well and truly weathered now mate

Indeed. Now blends in to the surroundings. Still working away fine though

Checked the box recently.....and a nest of young rabbits had moved in. Two in the traps and the other three...humanely dispatched.

5 less now

They tend to build up over a few years then mixy clears them out and the cycle starts again. Last year was about as bad as I have seen. Just a handful this year.

I have Velux windows in the roof front and rear of my house which give me pretty good visual coverage of my garden which I generally keep clear with a sub FAC .22 AAs410.
