  1. Did you sort the rat infestation with the air gun alone, or were traps/rodenticide/dogs also used?
  2. Does anyone know if this company are still trading? Tried emailing, phoning numerous times... Nothing.
  3. And if she uses a razor, the transfer of recoil into the shoulder will be silky-smooth. It's genius.
  4. Tasty timber. Lovely to see what you've done with it. A1 in my opinion.
  5. Hmm, if you're going to start trapping rats in common areas I would suggest you obtain permission from the owner/association and get some suitable public liabilty insurance, otherwise you could end up in a world of pain if someone's chihuahua gets it. All mammal traps in the UK need to be approved for the target species, but in the privacy of your own home you can get as inventive as you like.
  6. You probably already know someone who knows somebody - even if its just shooting rats to begin with - loads of people keep chickens. Just put the feelers out. You'll be surprised how things turn out.
  7. Be interesting to hear how you get on with them.
  8. Keep it cocked. Otherwise you are sure to forget. You'll shoulder the gun, line up the sights, steady your breathing, pick your moment, pull the trigger.... And fcuk-all will happen!!
  9. Its a can of worms. You' ve got to price high to cover your ass.
  10. I contacted that Bee Gone about the strategic partnership they advertise; if a pestie refers a bee colony to them and the customer takes up the quote, then the pestie can earn 10% commission. I've signed up.
  11. Garden rats are the only rat jobs I consider these days - especially if they can be dealt with by airgun. Very hard to make money on adhoc rat jobs, though.
  12. Plenty of good looking queens munching on my wood work. The wasps are doing alright too!
  13. I had a call out to some miner bees. Very interesting little characters.
  14. Yeah and Im getting sick and tired of people swearing blind that bees are wasps!
  15. Has anyone had a bona fide wasp nest yet this season?
  16. Rats are clever. But bullets are cleverer. If you have a .22 sub, just shoot the cnut.
  17. As above. There are some videos on youtube that are very confusing because they explain zeroing a gun with the weapon in a fixed and clamped position, which means you do the opposite to what Piano man has directed by first firing a shot at a paper target and then shifting the reticle onto the point of impact. To do this, the scope has to be aligned absolutely perfectly and the gun kept perfectly still. With normal 'free hand' zeroing, its best to think of the turrets as controls for the point of impact and using them to 'steer' the pellet onto the mark on the target, the point of aim
  18. Same as me. I just do moles like Chris, and rarely see many of my customers. I'm just gloving up and getting on with it although I haven't had any new enquiries in a couple of weeks. I'd be nervous of someone entering my house right now and conversations with tradesmen bear this out. Sparks and plumbers having booked domestic jobs cancelled hand over fist.
  19. Is the gun fitted with open sights currently? Make sure the lad cuts his teeth on these, then when he gets an optic fitted he'll be a lethal marksman.
