Like the motion sensor idea,have been smearing peanut butter about and they love it cos its always gone by morning but i have yet to catch the buggers eating it.I dont sit waiting all night but check at various times but still no luck,very frustrating.Thanks for all the input,i shall keep at it. At last!!! Got my first two rats last night and its been a long wait but they do love that peanut butter,fat as well,tho they should be the amount they have eaten.

Dont know how many but the signs and the amount of digging they do to try and get into my greehouse there must be a few of them.I have a nice clear firing line from my back bedroom window to the end of my garden which is about 25 meters with ploughed fields behind so safe to shoot.HW77 4x12x40 with stinger lamp and red filter.

HELP!!! Rats are driving me MAD! iI have tried the chicken soup,the peanut butter they love,iput it out in the evening stay up half the night and in the morning its all gone and no rats,they are winning the psychological warfare game,im dreaming about the bloody things.When do they come out,do you have to stay up all night,whats the answer? Help please or its the loony bin for me.

This is a pretty common problem with rifles, centrefires in particular as a lot of the Moderators tend to be quite fat. As already suggested this is probably reflected light from a mod or perhaps the barrel. Lots of possible solutions, angle the lamp up a bit, use a dimmer switch, try a filter on the lamp, sling the lamp under the barrel, or to the side (but this can cause distance problems), cover the scope/barrel with non reflective material, black insulating tape over the bottom of the light lens, flip up scope cover UP on objectice lens, etc etc, some or all of the above will "prob

I have just bought a Stinger for ratting,its fitted on a 4x12x50 scope and i find i am getting a lot of flare back in the scope that just about obscures anything i am aiming at.Has anyone else found this or any ideas as to the problem.No rats yet either.

Thanks for all the advice,i shall let you know how i get on.

Hi everyone,brand new member with a rat problem.I live in the sticks and back on to farmland and seem to be being invaded by rats,there is signs of them everywhere,runs,droppings they have even chewed through and dug under the wooden fences either side of me.I think i have tracked em down to my neighbors rockery and they seem to be using my garden as a through road to my other neighbors guineapig and rabbit hutches.I havent seen any as yet and i understand they mainly come out at night,i have a HW77 MK1 with a Deerfield 4x12x50 and would like to know what i could add to this to make it a useab
