Guest Frank Posted July 3, 2006 Report Share Posted July 3, 2006 The most effective method i have used, in my experience, is snaring. DEADLY, if done correctly. Frank. Quote Link to post

bullmastiff 615 Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 (edited) Is your trap long enough? (The door hitting it's back) Try spring loading the door so it shuts faster, and if it does hit it's back it'll shift it forwrd not back. Edited July 5, 2006 by bullmastiff Quote Link to post
