It may be the spring is getting weak on the talpex meaning he's travelled further before it's gone off. Some of my traps due to be replaced are like that and catch a bit further back.
-
A complete waste of time for the majority of folks that have done the course, most don't use the qualification. Best part of a grand before you even use it by the time you count time off and all the other gubbins you need! Plus it only lasts a couple of years! My boss did it in a panic 2 yes ago and has never used gas again! Needless to say he won't be doing it again once it runs out! Not many jobs more than 10M from a building or watercourse unless you are out in the fields on agricultural jobs.

According to the label it should be protected from frost so it may well be fecked.

Had both my thumbs pinned in a mk 6 fenn once, served me right for trying to set one without the thumb ring on it! That was hard to remove on my own checking a trap line! Never again!
-
Surely they are too big to fit all but the biggest mole run.
-
K othrin is non staining, no odour etc much better to spray than ficam as no visible residue is left.
-
Agreed in farms with outdoor pig arcs but The pig farm we shoot is block built pens almost constantly occupied with pigs with 90% of rats living in the double lined roof space. 0 chance of terriers getting rats there. Shooting is the only suitable way for getting numbers down on our farm.
-
My boss and I shot 1500 rats on a pig farm last winter, it's the only way to get decent reduction In numbers fast.

I take it that was your car? No it wasn't but it doesn't alter the fact that this waste of an arsehole keyed it! Petty acts of mindless vandalism are one of modern societies biggest downfalls, people have no respect for others and their property, I'd like to see his f***ing hands cut off too tbh! I suppose you think the guy who owns the car can afford to have it re sprayed so it's ok??? I guess you are perhaps jealous he can buy an Aston Martin???

The best I've used was stingray but of course that's being withdrawn, phobi dose was bloody good. The biggest issue with bedbugs is doing a very intensive treatment which a lot of folks don't do. That is the normal issue with a failed chemical treatment. Given there's no known resistance to phobi dose it would suggest you may have missed a few somewhere pestie100.

Nothing a swift snip with some scissors to the ballsack to prevent him contaminating the gene pool any further won't fix! Then lock the scummy Bastid in a white cell with nothing in it and play lots of white noise for 23.5hrs a day for the rest of his days so he can reflect on his pathetic act.
-
No but I've used phobi dose for them it's very good with 0 resistance I believe.

That's silly cheap! You could add £20 to that and still be busy! There's no point being cheap and having to do twice the work for the money you could get for 1 nest. We are more than £36 and get very few refusals!! It's time this industry as a whole learned to charge decent money, you wouldn't get a plumber out for that money. Too many out there working for next to nothing. It's not a dig btw just interesting to see different prices. I think that £40-£50 for 15-20 min work is ok, particulary when several of these jobs could be done daily, true a plumber could be more than this,

Money for nothing, it's a no brainer. Go treat em.
-
To have it done properly is expensive but usually comes with a guarantee for a period of time. 20 yrs is what my boss gives. Diy there's no guarantee and you may end up spending hundreds anyway.
-
An easy one in a folded up rug followed by one in the next room in a tailors dummy! Had to remove 2 big bags off the dummy to see the nest to treat, they didn't like that much! Only got 1sting tho so can't complain, 1st in last 5 years lol
-
Doing plenty wasps in Wiltshire, very busy nests with some big uns around too.
-
Could be a wasp nest in the void. They sound a lot like scratching noises. I had one on Friday where there was a scratching noise in a roof void and the kids in that bedroom thought it a good idea to hit the roof and broke through the thin plaster straight into the nest.
-
Always rattle the tube between trigger and tank to clear all the dust which will stop it compacting up. Also upend the tank prior to use as it will loosen the dust up. Don't tighten the rods too tight as this can restrict the rubber washer inside causing it to block up. Obviously don't leave the pump out too long when working in damp conditions as that will cause it clump up too.
-
Could just be poor feeding in the area. Or possibly a wasp pot type device nearby trapping the workers starving the nest. All the nests I've been to lately are very busy.
-
He did very well at completely showing how disillusioned the anti brigade really are. When you resort to calling people lying b*****ds you've really lost all credibility lol Piss off back to France Brian they are merrily digging out a few badgers in your absence.
-
Plenty wasps around, done 5 on 1 house so far this year, plenty multiple nests. Most I've done was 13 on one house.
-
Yes, given that carpet beetles crawl and fly, clothes moths crawl more than they fly anyway.
