Warehouse rats

[Guest Scuba1]

Ok folks here is my problem. I have a new job and I am on Tenerife so there are no proper traps to be had. I work for a company that sells drinks and snacks and we have a warehouse full of the stuff. We had to burn 5 pallets of crisps this week because our little fury friends had a go at them and as I have to work over the day I don't want to spend the nights patroling the warehouse with my rifle. Poison is out of the question as well as it is not leagle in places where there is food stored............ any hints ?¿¿?

Could you not knock up some wire cage traps mate? Perhaps one of the companies who sell Fenns etc online would ship to tenerife too or get a load of people to come on holiday and bring one each with them.

Whats that you say? 1 trap = 1 weeks bed and board? Thats very kind of you that mate i'll bring you a dozen

scuba i would just check to see if poison is iligal to use there. i would be supriced if it is. dont just listen to heresay . get the facts.

 

i know its not in Gibalta (speling) had a guy on a course with me a few years ago from there. also check the rat spiecies. in some parts on the continant the black rat is more common ( ratus ratus) ship rat , or as its somtimes called over there the roof rat.

 

personaly i have never encountered them but, but the guy from Gib said the were easy to trap high up in roofs, trees ect.

Nope they are deffo rattus norvegicus. and I doný want to use poison because if they snuff it gehind some pallets and start stinking I am the one who has to rumage around thewarehouse and find them. Another thing is if I poison them I´ll not be able to feed them to my snakes . And yes I will be having a go at the wabbits here on the finca
