F***ing People ....!

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

Phone rings ..... " Hello? Is that the pest control? "

 

Yes. It is.

 

" Listen; Can ye get me that stuff the mice stick to? "

 

No, sir. That shit's illegal, in this country now.

 

" Can ye not get me some though? "

 

No, mate. It's been illegal for years now. It's f**king barbaric anyway. These days, we have far better traps.

 

" Traps? "

 

Yes. Mouse traps. In little boxes. Nothing else can get at them. Children can't. Pets can't. Unintended wild creatures can't.

 

They're great! Catch a mouse? Little yellow bar disappears and tells ye ye've got one. I can put ye onto those ....?

 

" But, ye can't get me that sticky stuff ....? "

 

(FFFS!!!) No, mate! That's like asking me if I can get ye some f**king Strychnine! It's Illegal!!!

 

" Oh. Alright then. Bye. "

Are you talking about gak that you put on paper and broads looked like treacle, or just sticky boards for mice..

[Outlaw Pete 2,224]

Same difference, Jack. Boards are just a modern, convenient form of the old rat tack.

 

C***s game.

[nans pat 2,575]

legal here.

[Bootsha 1,306]

type in mouse traps on ebay

I remember working in a place where temo tack boards were used. Come in on a Monday and there be a Dead mouse on one ,pile droppings next to it,must admit thought a trap would been more humane.

must admit thought a trap would been more humane.

 

In Eire, under the Wildlife Act 1976 (Approved Traps, Snares and Nets) only traps designed to be 'humane' and cause instant death or irreversible unconsciousness are allowed to be imported, sold or deployed.

 

We're lucky then, in that we don't have to wring our hands and toss and turn through the night, worrying if this, or that time tested trap fits the bill. We have none of this nit picky STAO bollox.

 

Fenn traps are officially sanctioned. So, shit like Sawyer, Imbra and Juby ~ not to mention the Body Grips can be taken as a forgone conclusion.

 

Anyway; I know the law. And I don't deal with strangers who ring me up, asking for illegal stuff. That could have been any number of stings.

 

Frankly though? I think it was just one more knuckle dragging din' who thought those things are still legal here and who thinks anything is good enough for commensal rodents

 

I don't deal with wankers either.

Old boy round the corner is still getting them?, From somewhere?

[bobcullen79 1,495]

Double post? I forget your over there Pete.. And as Phil pointed out, they are still available and legal here. Not nice though regardless.
