sam-jones69 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 hi people. i have been asked to shoot some rats at my next door neighbours house and i was just wondering what advice people had for me. i have never been rat shooting before and i dont realy know what bait to put out for them or how far you should be away from the rat without them getting suspicious. the gun that im going to use is a 22. hw100 with logun penetrator 20.5g pellets so shooting them shoodnt be a problem its just luring them out to the sights . oh and when the best time to catch them out is ? any info would be guuuuurd. cheers Quote Link to post
00taz11 39 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 get a hold of some wheat and spread it close to where they come out to play then you have your chance Quote Link to post

Guest buster321c Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Luqidised cat food and cod liver oil , put it in a little bottle ( pop top one ) then you can pour it out and they cant run away with it Quote Link to post
jazz_11 5 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 the second idea with cod liver works better as the rats cant run away with it with wheat they can run away with it...... whereas with the mashed up stuff they will stay there Quote Link to post

BBB 7 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 chicken or oxtail soup. brings em out many a rat has met it's end ,while enjoying a drop of hienz move any you kill and if there is blood ,sprinkle a bit of sand or earth on it . other rats dont like coming to the bait if one of their mates is laid near it with his nappa blown off. or there is a big pool of claret near bait...

SEAN3513 7 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 spot on buster...............if you cant get cod liver oil use any sort of cooking oil. and another good tip is to leave any dead rats where they are until the end of your session as other rats will try to eat them............they are evil little b*****ds !!!! i have witnessed this and seem to get better results if i stick to this format. works for me anyway. good luck matey all the best sean Quote Link to post

slyfox-mal 1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 i find peanut butter is really good to attract rats just spread abit on a bit of wood or brick but remember rats are neophobic (fear of new things) so you may have to bait up for a few days to get best results Quote Link to post

The one 8,493 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 No being funny but if next door to me had rats i'd have the traps out as well Quote Link to post
Swampy 147 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 No being funny but if next door to me had rats i'd have the traps out as well Not funny at all! Kill 'em all I say. Kill 'em all! PS Rats tend to use the same routes all the time. You can sometimes find the routes in grass, or the smooth edges of holes in fences etc. Find the route, find the rat. PPS I've nearly met my end having heinz soup! Has anyone ever tried their leak soup? eeeeuuuuuuuch! Quote Link to post
sam-jones69 0 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 No being funny but if next door to me had rats i'd have the traps out as well im not too worried about them coming to my house because when i say next door neighbour they are about 5 mins up the lane :] . and if they do get there they wont be there for long with my trusty jack russel patrolling the place lol she tries to kill everything.
