There is a simple answer for that. Because every one is greedy, no one thinks of the greater good if it costs them. TC

As Tomo says, I do the same. First I thread a piece of twine through the C ring then thread it over the pole. Next make a clove hitch with you running lines over the poles. Then you use the piece of twine to pull the ring away from the pole and insert aspoon handle downwards through the gap created. Next twist the spoon handle 180 degrees and lever the loop created over the top of the pole and on to the top of the clove hitch. Pull the spoon handle out and the job is done, all that needs to be done then is wet the pole and slide the ring into the po

Your statment made me think what would happen if the area that the low lying badgers moved too had a denser population how would that work? Would the more dominant incomers move out less dominant residents? Or would the residents have priority? TC

A dog used for gate netting has about as much relevence to a long netting dog as a spaniel has to coursing hares. They are totally different dogs. A gate netting dog is expected to go into a field lift a hare and chase it back to the gate. If there is more than one hare in the field it is expected to do the same again. If the dog does this then it can be called a gate netting dog. A very handy tool. A long netters dog is expected, according to myth and legend, to sit while you set the net, then cast out, bant the field, ignore any rabbits that it raises and complete the bant back to the ne

When you say the net is 3ft high how did you measure it? Its a genuine question just for me to get an idea of what you mean. the rigged by halves part is right that is the nets will be half the stretched length of the net. TC

A simple bolt rebated upsidedown on the plate will suffice but without it the wood will run away from you and pull your hands towards the cutter. TC

Not sure what you mean about the pin? I have edited my post reread it. TC

Just a little bit of advice, if you take it or not it's up to you. Get a pin in that circle you have in the table it will save your fingers. Either that or make a guard for the bit. Routers are a good bit of kit but they are dangerous. I'll get some pics up of my home made table and show you what I mean. Just an image off the net the pin gives you something stable to hold against, just remember never try and go with the rotation of the router always against. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQUth49BDKlgccIDE0xX60f7C5el0SxuVnl0ejZPR_hzoCnBhHXGw TC

Websites That Bring Work In.
Tiercel replied to Mr Muddy's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
A lot of people still use yellow pages or yell.com. The best way to get seen on there as most people search by area is to have the right name, Aaron pest control would be first in the listings at any time you can then link your yell page to your website. Other than that you can pay google for keyword prominence. That would get you more traffic to the site the rest is then up to you. TC -
The two zoo's that offered to take the Giraffe were unsuitable for the animal, one had the same gene pool as the Giraffe and the other zoo does not have an ethical treatment of animals treaty, they will not sign a disclaimer that they would not sell the animal to a circus or to anyone with enough money to buy it. I don't doubt that the animal was used for it's 18 months of life as an attraction, but we as humans use animals all the time. The fact that it was fed to the lions after is really incidental. It was not destroyed to be fed to them. We do not know why the animal was no PTS when bo

More importently check this out the completed listings all the ones with the price in red did not sell http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Flappy+bird&_in_kw=1&_ex_kw=&_sacat=0&_okw=&_oexkw=&_adv=1&LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=200&_fpos=&LH_SALE_CURRENCY=0&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50T TC

Ireland also went a little way in deciding the outcome of the game, As per my post straight after the match. TC

Given Wales total non display at the weekend, no one seemed up for it we were playing like as if it did not matter, there just was no fire in their bellies. I am wondering if it is the uncertainty over the future of club rugby in wales and the cental contact affair. Or is it the old chestnut of it being after a lions year where traditionally France win the six nations? One thing is for certain gatland ball did not work on Saturday. TC

Bloody hell, I cannot believe some of the posts on this topic. The same people who are decrying the giraffes death would think nothing about killing a deer or fox. It was animal husbandry simple as, as has been said it happens every day. Nothing untowards about it. TC

" Neo ". From the Austro Hungarian, isn't it? For 'New'? Something like that. Your self professed " Amateur " status as a rat catcher belies your clean slate, clear visioned approach, TC We actually seem to share very much the same view, on this issue. Put simply? Rat moves from point A to B with caution. Having sussed out there's none of TC's fatally interesting, chocolate drizzled f**king traps, en route? Rat then probes the ground to point C. And so on. Rat then knows his land. He can now dash, with reckless abandon, from A to K. Knowing he's sniffed, touched, minutely e

Just thinking back, about 5 years ago before I started the outside traps I had a rat in the garden that would lick peanutbutter off a fen without setting it off. To be honest he was doing my head in, I had tried every trick I knew of to catch the bugger, even putting the PB under the trigger plate and burrying the trap and he dug underneath the trap and licked the plate clean. It was then I tried the drop box I set the box on a plank with PB on the plate and dog biscuits around the box and inside, took about a week but I had the bugger in the end, a big old buck. TC

Pete, I do not bait the outer traps they are just left in situ 24-7-365 but they work, and work well at that, go figure? The only time I bait is in the shed. That said, thinking about it, I have used the traps as baited traps with peanut butter in the past so there may well be the residue of the bait left on the plates, enough to attract them? I did start off baiting them but the slugs have a field day on it so I just left them unbaited and they seem to work. TC

Personally I see nothing wrong with what the zoo has done. As I have told many people when flying my hawk. "They dont eat beans on toast" The animal had to be put down so why waste it? TC

Just wondering, does the neophibia on the farm include the young rats? Also is the area of the farm quite large? Is there movement of family groups within the area of the farm? For example, I would expect a very low return from a grain store baiting with grain as there is so much food for them. Would you not then try a different bait to stand out from the crowd so to speak? It is intresting, as a strictly amatuer one trick pony on trapping rats (fens) I have found over the years what works for my back yard. TC
-
Regarding the neophobia. Could that be linked to the time of year and the age of the rat, or the rats lifestyle in that it is looking for pastures new therefore all it sees will be new. I used to have trouble with rats as my garden backs onto waste ground, over time I have identified two main runs unsurprisingly up the fence each side of the garden. I now have two trapping stations positioned at the bottom of the garden and no trouble from rats, unless they enter from next door, who just sits and grows his fecking hair allday. One thing I have noticed though, come may I will start to get y

Just a question from an amatuer, I have trapped rats in the daughters stables tack room where the feed is kept. At first I used the same principles as Mat states if they are entering for the horse food, then bait with the horse food as it is at that moment in time their natural diet. However, while trapping a few the results were poor to say the least. I then change to nutella and peanut butter mixture and the results improved remarkably. Of course that is just one isolated incident and I make no inferance one way or another, but, it does seem that rats that have never seen or smelt peanut

Well played Ireland you deservred to win that game. Wayne Barnes you are a disgrace as a ref. I lost count of the times the welsh were on their feet over the ball and you would still not blow up. Ireland won fair and square they were the better team on the day. Barnes what a fcuking Tosser. Dave

My Grandson plays for Bynea the pitch is just behind Mark Taylors house, every Sunday morning rain or shine he is there watching the kids from all age groupes. There may be 2 or 3 games going on at any one time but he will do the rounds of them all. IMHO that is what is needed spotting the young talent early and teaching them right. TC

Good win there for the lads. Your not joking there Johnny their scrum was immense, they played the conditions well and ran out deserved winners. To keep the Irish who are no slouches to a nill points takes some doing. Well done Wales. Edited to add: Jonathon is on @ 10 that will be a laugh, the way they take the piss out of Nigel owens is brilliant. As long as they do not mention Gats and BOD, I'm getting a little bit tired of that now media led bull sh!t again. TC
