    jd i feel the same as you really but i think with the slight differences i would be careful of meeting some smart alec on a problem set.. the extra spring i would have seen as a improvement of strength but it didnt matter it was different to the 116. its certainly in a grey area for these slight differences concerning belise even if there done for the better, i personally dont own any belise but it would be good to get one sent in for a definite confirmation.

    yes jd.. bloody crazy imo. more trap alterations for me coming up.

    but Hmmmm! Wonder are all these traps as powerful as the Magnum 110? I mean, the cheap Fenn types are seen as illegal mainly due to inferior spring power, so what about Bodygrip types? Another thing! How easy, or hard would it be to remove one of the Victor 120-2 springs, for those of you that already have some? removal of one spring would do it as long as the other spring was 116 strength not 110.. for mink in uk. so its good enough for ireland to remove one spring here im doubtful as it would just be a 110 power not 116 power. but yes removal would be ok if just wanting 110'

    yes the only one i would check is the belise due to slight difference in jaw shape. they seem to be wanting exacts any visual difference is a possible no no...the bureaucracy in trapping and snaring is not helping im not happy with all these grey areas. i myself would say yes to belise but due to slight differences i wouldnt use em with risk of someone pointing out its not a bmi bodygrip or a exact clone.. anyone who uses dukes bmi ect would know straight away the difference with belise if they came across one.

    see update on my other post. 120-2 is illegal.

    hi folks update.. i just received a email from natural england changing there mind on the 120-2 and all similar DOUBLE SPRINGED which otherwise would be classed as clones if the 120-2 was legal. the 120-2 is now classed as illegal so im pissed right off.. traps ive had for years now out of service.. i think they need to amend as the 120-2 is a equivalent with just a extra spring so its better in strength.. but here's the email and im waiting on a call from NE so i will update more asap when i know more.. but this email says it all. the email is here its a exact copy and paste minus

    if you got runs then use restraining wires just keep em high and set em clear of tangle points..generally no problems with cats unless setting fences or low points, your more likely to catch cats in rabbit snares than high fox ones. theres always exceptions but with relaxing locks and deer stop you should have a live one anyway. what fun lol.

    this type of pipe set 'loaded' is about as good as you get for mink imo...i use plastic mostly with short rebars through the pipe and banged flush so it does not become kill bar on mink,it also restricts entrance from otter. nice to see the pics jd

    if it was winter i sure many would come,winter is the time for ferrets.. to many milky does and does full of young. im not saying you wont catch but digging will probably be involved at some point.i know a few good ferreters and they will say the same leave em till winter. even if you just gotta kill em all then ferreting would still be still a last choice for this time of year. if you have a good few rabbits harvest them wintertime its easier and more rewarding.

    loved it i can relate to the heat its unreal on long jobs when the pressures on sweating is a understatement. very funny story and i do beleive you actually did it as crazy as it sounds. fair play for the write up and detail im sure shropshire was not meaning malice by calling you a dick he just envisioned you getting stung up and thought you were a little crazy... its just alien to some but if it worked out then best to ya.. you obviously loved it. your a adrenaline junky.

    Because powders and dusts didn't work on wet ground. It was either raining during the treatment, or before and after. This was on a railway embankment where the electricians needed to go back to work ASAP. The whole line was shut down. No nest, no call backs. I always try to remove them, where possible at least. well im new to that one i bet they go fookin mad when you dig em.. fookin workers getting stung 50 yards out n sh*t. that must be hot work good on ya though must be fun to do. i sat and watched a badger diggin one big nest out of a bank and they went crazy,i loved watching
  15. unclepesta
    why are you digging nests out of the ground?

    permethrin will upset the wasps on contact for defo,permetrin will cause insecticide avoidance in some cases because its a repellent so return calls in some cases to retreat or reports of problems getting worst after treatment. breathing permethrin is more dangerous than dermal contact in my understanding,although tingling occurs like bendiocarb i would prefer to have permethrin on skin if either of them because permethrin has lower skin absorption, but i would really concentrate on suitable ppe and take the extra precaution rather than trying to find the lesser of two evils ppe can

    nice to see the bumble bees being left alone where possible. sometimes they do cause concern as they do sting but where possible just leave them as they are not super aggressive. my friend had one set up in a thatch eve they were quite busy so we decided to leave them and let them go through there cycle, by the end of the cycle a lot of the honey is gone as they don't store like the honey bee, much smaller amounts of honey and much smaller nests. if you get a bird box with bees maybe remove the nest and relocate, and just charge as per wasp nest for the extra time. relocating a bumble

    i shouldn't of even mentioned it phil but the devil got the better of me.. they did some trial in new zealand with the modified style on stoat they came out with some good results and seemed very happy on it effectiveness after modificaction.

    heres the answer i received. Your query regarding the Victor Conibear 120-2 spring trap has been passed to me for response as I am the lead specialist on traps and trapping for Natural England. The Victor Conibear spring traps 110-2 and 120-2 were never actually listed on any of the Spring Traps Approval Orders because they are ‘clones’ of approved traps (the BMI Magnum traps) and are therefore automatically approved. Under Sec 2 of the Spring Traps Approval (England) Order 2012, any spring trap which is equivalent in all relevant respects to a spring trap of a type and make specified in

    see section 4 4.2 file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/user/My%20Documents/Downloads/NPAP_code_of_practice_for_the_use_of_vertebrate_traps_-_2014.pdf and stoats and weasels are defined.

    darcy is totally correct for uk Under EU law, since July 2013, only killing traps that meet the standards of the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards should be used for stoats.
