primrose 4 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 I have recently acquired a rat job at a village duck pond,they do not want poison used as they have some domestic ducks so i have sited rat boxes a month ago with rat traps in beside the rat runs. The i person i deal with phoned up on friday saying rats have been seen, so i set the traps yesterday baited with chocolate spread and nothing and i noticed one rat hole being used any ideas to catch the rats Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Educate the customer, bin the boxes, and burrow bait. Bait the burrows, block them up, and do visits every other day until the holes stop getting reopened. Also think about the public about feeding the ducks. Who is the expert? You or the customer? Perfectly safe to burrow bait in a situation like this. The ducks are more at risk from the rats than from carefully placed rodenticide. Quote Link to post
