    as the do not need to run across beams but rats like to run along walls i figured tunnels with mk4 fenns could do the trick? or maybe a pro victor set across in a brick arrangment like a ratbox

    Yes Rolfe - I agree on all three points. The J clips are what I have in the 'shop' along with the pliers. These ones were sent to me in error when I last restocked. i think, but i may be wrong that those are the type used for netting but i was under the impression that they came in strips too

    do you have to have training to use poison on permissions? and if so wheres the best place to get it/how much is it? thanks guys i suppose it depends on wether you are getting paid as its then not just your own domestic use. i did my course on safe use of rodenticides when i was i keeper which was over 15 years ago (i must do a refresher soon) but essex and kilgerm do day courses for about -100 quid i think. but remember if you start doing it for pay even when your qualified you should have insurance too. ok i am a killgerm customer a i have looked into their courses, i might

    no he hasnt, this is on the opposite side of the farm to where the other bait was used. the problem with the fenn idea is the type of doors, well they are curtains as i already said so there are no obvious entry points so the only place i could trap is along the wall so i didnt think you could have too many traps along a wall thanks so far very informative

    i dont understand the new objects thing? what do you mean by that? and the main problem is the shed does not have solid doors they are the heavy plastic netting type curtains which the rats just push under.

    realy? but i suppose it down to what has been written and what is shown in the pics speaking of which i may have to invest in one of your books to help me with my future netting exploits

    how do you protect an individual crop? my only thoughs are scaring (bangers) or netting but the latter is completely impractical on a say 50 acre field and they soon get used to the scarers

    just from memory if this were tomorrow night you would be on 14points already. good going!

    ok pesties, i farmer mate of mine has noticed a small amount of rats fequenting his grain shed its only a small shed say 25-30 yrd square with about 20-30 rats scarpering when you go in. anyway the main point of this is he wants to bait the shed using bait stations and difenacoum cut wheat bait (which has proven successful at other places on the farm and is easy to get from his point of view) so how many bait stations should he be using for this kind of size area and problem? and how often should the baitstations be checked along with the search for dead rodents? thank you in a

    ok put it this way, i'm a student and i work saturdays i was thinking of more around the £300 ish mark i know this is very cheap but i also know that it is possible to get good guns for that price because i regularly use one that was when out with the farmer

    the whole budget thing is taking a kicking to the sound of £100 pounds due to the gun cabinet. does anyone know where i can get a second hand one from? only a 2/3 gun thing.
  17. ellir0305
    i am still looking into gettin my own licence and gun etc as i am enjoying going with the farmer more and more. i was thinking are 410s any good for pidgeons and rooks etc and any good for the odd fox dispatch? or am i better off going with a 12g . another question which has probably been done to death. but can anyone recomend a low budget starter gun i have looked before at the baikal o/u 12g but never got the try one out thanks in advance rob

    you wo'nt get called names, well at least not by me, the reason i said what i did was because i have spoken to him in depth about the subject off THL

    rooks are in plague proportions this year and eatign the chitting crops so nest raiding aside they need to be shot

    i have to say i havent see anything that sounds like that before, any pics would be helpful to let the more knowledgable amongst us shed some light

    i was useing eley alphamax 3" magnam 46grams bb and they are 76mm long thats a fair heavy load, whats that like on the shoulder?

    in my somewhat limited experience crows have chestbones like rock so a headshot is best Says it all! The ribs aren't that thick either side of the breastplate. I was just offering an alternative.... by which i mean i am not a professional pest controller. i take head shots wherever as it is best practice. you can kill a rabbit by karate chopping it but i prefer to strech them as its better practice. i have put 3 number 6 shot through the side of a crows chest before and it still tries to hop away so they are still tough birds. just my way of doing things but if it dro

    is your main issue with the rimfire the sound or travel of the bullet?
  25. ellir0305
    just dont do it we've had this conversation. grow a pair and ask the farmers the worst they can say is no and tbh most chaps are happy to get rid of a few rabbits if you dont come across as a complete t**t
