Just buy the best pcp you can afford - lads on here have already said what to look for. Pissing about with a single shot breechloading heavy spring piston is just pure masochism these day for what you've said you want an airgun for.
-
Has anyone been using these in large numbers for a while? If so, what do you reckon to them?
-
Probably not. Just seen this on the telly
-
I'm going to do that. I'll ask him if these are live capture traps and report back.

I was going to put a trail cam in and then reflected that it might be a job to which I never return!! I do fancy giving those black cats a spin. Not bought any yet but people are certainly praising them up. -

Yes, my initial thinking was that squirrels will succumb to my fenns quicker than the difenacoum w/w grain. The situation is that there is evidence that both squirrels and rats are visiting this particular job, although due to the client having no concept of social distancing whatsoever - insisting on climbing in the loft with me despite my protests, then draping herself all over me trying to pick cobwebs off my hat after Id come down - an absolute fcuking nightmare of a woman - luckily me and my family has already had covid. Anyway fenns and rodenticide it is - the sqizzers can take -

Thats what I was wondering; are squirrels just as likely to take a grain bait w/w difenacoum etc as they are the licensed warfarin formulation? -
Does anyone have any experience of grain-based bromadialone/difenacoum formulations killing greys?

I've eaten them before. They tend to repeat on you a bit.

Me too but I don't think mine had any springs in it at all!

That white thing that looks like a prawn - is that bait?

I would strongly reccomend the self employed route off the bat - if that's your aim. If you start off employed and then try and cover private work at the same time, you'll be running round like a blue arsed fly - especially in the winter. Plus your employer (if a Pest Control Firm) won't like it one bit. Add to that the fact that a lot of the work is out-of-hours youll be giving yourself an impossible task. Worth giving your strategy some serious thought beforehand. -

30's not old at all! The larger pest firms round our way are always advertising for new staff and if you can afford to finance the rsph level 2 yourself, then you will be ideally placed to get a foot in the door. You say you've been on the tools: anyone who is practical and good at problem solving can apply those skills to pest control. A word of caution: there's a reason why a lot of postions are always available and that's because of high turn over - get with the wrong firm and it might put you off for life. Also, don't be under any illusions- as an employee of a general pest contr
