Outlaw Pete 2,224 Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 FFS, Tong Po! That just reminds me of the first time my boss took me nest finding. He was walking, a few feet in front of me, down a hedge. Suddenly, he said, " Oh, right. This looks a good spot for Chiffchaff ..... Oh! Here we are! ". F**king mice had cleared the nest by the time we passed that way again. I can't begin to express how gutted I was! But, that's the environment. The world. I always point out, to customers, how I can't kill every rodent in " The World ". But, f**k me, if I had an aviary? It'd be a death zone to Any mice that entered. Snappa Boxes. Job done! And none of your birds would ever manage to get near the traps set inside them 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
