Was trained fine on the slip lead and on a collar. Just got working and decided that every time he goes on a walk he's going to work.. He's a patterdale at the end of the day so you have a guess what he's like off the lead

Harness is to push into not to stop pulling.

Scratch marks where rats are entering the wall above a meter box. And a strange head found on a job
Day in the life of us pest controllers. Don't half see some weird stuff.
Found a tawny owl sat in a shed today

Little lump for 4 months. Be interesting to see how it turns out.

The box came with 8 compartments so I filled it. There are a lot of mice in that building and poison isn't an option.
The double mouse trap boxes also cause both traps to go off if one is dry fired. In practise the mouse absorbs the energy so the others aren't activated. This should be the same.
As for pinching the idea. My lawyers will be watching you very closely
I think if you lower the number of traps to say 4 or 5. I think you will solve the problem. Give it a try over a couple days.
And can you not just set the traps without them bring in a box. Or is that also not an option?

Good little idea that. Might steal it if you don't mind
. Why don't you put less traps in and separate them apart that little extra. Prevent them all being set off?

Right so I bought a little harness for the lad.
Completely different dog. No pulling and walks to heel.
Anyone reckon that I keep him on this to get his walking in order then switch back to collar and lead in a few months?
Cheers

Not a fan at all, why have any dog pulling your arm off, with no interest in you. You have no control. The idiots I see with dogs in harnesses pulling their arm off is unreal these days. How is that an enjoyable walk, especially if you intend on that dog being walked for the next 10 plus years...
Just teach basic lead manners and have a lovely life together...
Agreed.
Problem I've got is he was good as gold on the lead. Take him out to work on rat a few times then everytime he's out on a walk since, fecker just wants to go

What benefits are you thinking you'll get from putting a bra on the dog? Stopping it pulling?
Just after people's input. Not a fan of um but seeing if they're worth using or just let him keep pulling.

What's people's thoughts on using a harness for a terrier on a normal walk? Patterdale in particular.
The little lad can't turn off and thinks he's going out to work even if we're just going out.
Just want peoples views on it

Crikey that place looks like its full of food! Belgian chocolate amongst it too.
From the debris it should be easy to see what foods the squirrels are favouring and where to put traps.
Sweep up the loose food so all that's easily available are some choice samples in and around the traps.
Apart from the risk of punching holes in ceilings with stray pellets or bullets, shooting means you being on site at the right time.
Traps will be working as the day is long.
Traps ; as many as you can get set. Inside and outside too if practical.
Oh yeah place has been left full of everything you can imagine. Was wandering about today and seen atleast 6 squirrels then heard plenty more elsewhere.
Trouble I've got is the fact they've always got easy access to food.. Might have to put plenty of traps and spend a bit of time hanging about with the rifle aswell.

Look after an empty warehouse, been left full of stock for years until the landlord decides who's to pay for disposal of the stock.
Had over 200 rats out of here in the past 12 month. No more rats.
Within 2 weeks the furry grey feckers have been right at it.
Traps or shooting Station? What's the thoughts?
Cheers

Pretty sure this is called a monarch type trap. Have used it on a couple of occasions but in all fairness live trapping rats is alot more hassle than it's worth. Would rather be using snap traps or fenns in boxes. ATB

Do you think they could be abit more sensitive?
Overall yeah. I've had many a trap either be too sensitive or the pressure plate has been triggered and the bar hasn't been released from the catch. There just cheap mass made shit, but do the job if you need to have a lot of them out
