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.

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

 

Many rabbits around you Gruffalo? Things of myth and legend around here.

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.

      A mate of mine has a garden rat problem and i offered my Fenn's to him but he looked online (google search) and said they were illegal to use on rats as of 2020 and only can be used for stoats, is this true?

      I've recently got hold of a Black Cat trap and was wondering if anyone else was using them?
      If so, what are you baiting them with and how are you setting them up, as i can only find American info on ground squirrels?
      Thanks

      Bought some Victors a while back but never got round to modding them. Had a rat chewing up insulation in the garage this week so it gave me the incentive to get them done.
      Fitted a kill bar and a perspex spring spacer to the traps. Fixed them in a box with a couple of screws so they can pivot out to set them. Just set them so will see how i get on.
