Arry 21,637 Posted Friday at 11:35 Report Share Posted Friday at 11:35 I got the neighbours shed next where I have my bird feeders I asked not to put it there when she moved in. As its only 3 inches off the ground the inevitable happens especially after heavy rain. Nice and dry with a food source near by. So I got an empty compost bin where they run through with a Black Cat and a home made trap, both do well to be fare baited with wax blocks (it lasts quite a long time).

FLATTOP 4,415 Posted Friday at 11:47 Report Share Posted Friday at 11:47 I set one of these in a plant pot with a small hole just to target my species which was rat at the time I caught a few brilliant traps, but some how a large hedgehog managed to get its head into the hole and the inevitable happened, bloody powerful old trap you wouldn’t want to catch your fingers in one. 1 Quote Link to post

I got a few hedgehog thats are in or visit and that why I got the compost bin next to the fence I would hate to get one. I use the live traps the most but they are in use for bloody squirrels at the moment. Cheers Arry 1 Quote Link to post

Cheers Arry Yes it has made me think twice where I use it now, I was gutted to be honest as you don’t see many as it is. 2 Quote Link to post
