Rat Purse Nets

[dougie_s410k 1]

Got a fair few holes apeared under the decking at home and decided to knock up a rat purse net, came out brilliant but would like to know peoples opinions on how many meshes etc the prefer. The one I made today was 5,6,7,8,9 then 3 rows of 10 then 9,8,7,6,5. Came out nice and had to improvise on the mesh board and had no small needle so cut two long lengths of spun poly and threaded it by hand every mesh. Spot on net too :-) . Any patterns would be appreciated greatly ;-)

Some spot are impossible to catch with terrier's alone and in built up area's the rat's need to be slowed down one way or another..
