Black Cat Traps

[Arry 22,919]

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).

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.

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.

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.

I see that you had a, few on the traps rats so bloody cunning shame about the hedgehogs getting on the traps hedgehogs are getting rare now gardeners friend they are helpful for slowing down the slugs
