i have only got the one mk4 and i noticed a hlaf eaten apple with rat teeth marks lastnight in the orchard so i placed it down in the tunnen with some apple shaved over the top with my knife and i got a second rat this morning caught perfect by the head. noticed some holes in the compost heap so its set in one of the compartments (about 6'x4') and a poison hopper in the other compartment bloddy rats

these are some pics of the setup in the compost heap this is my normal setup it is not set on a run as there is not one they go everywhere as it is always covered by an old conservatory door. rob

We had some great old traps from the houses of parliament which just dont catch rats any more.. I have caught 13 in two weeks ...literally grabbed them through roofing membrane and skewered them with my throwing knives... I dont know why but when I see a rat I see red... they seem to taunt me!!!!!!

christ thats hardcore rat catching i had nothing last night the rats seem to be more interested in nthe poison than apple so i put that on the plate its win win if bthe trap doesnt go off they get poisoned if it does they die

The best one was treading on a large female and impaling it with a ww2 french spiked bayonet... I have had more luck like this as well as stunning them with a pistol then applying pointy pressure... a few people have mentioned whether I have too much time on my hands which I can assure is not the case but any way to reduce the rat population (and rabbit) around here is a bonus.. This forum is a wealth of info though and I just hadnt really any time to post since joining... Keep it up everyone!!
