IanB 0 Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 spoke to a friend in new zealand who said that they are prone to the gas leaking and the piston malfunctioning. just his view and reports from other new zealand trappers . It did say in the article , that they had problems with seals and weather, on initial trials, but have revised the full trap to suit. Quote Link to post

shropshire mole 190 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Certainly could be an option inside, particulary for mice, as long as little fingers stay away Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 As it uses a chemical (gas) to kill, it would need approval under COSHH (or Biocides or PPD) just like the Rentokil Radar unit. The Nooski was voluntarily submitted for approval under the STAO by the manufacturer. Quote Link to post
nod 285 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 But it's not the gas that kills it's the bolt that it pushes out that does it Quote Link to post
shropshire mole 190 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 So the UK Government will class it as a "Firearm" since it fires a bolt, same as cattle bolt gun, only much much smaller Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Maybe a better trap if it was battery powered, no gas to shrink in cold weather, then you could have an automatic flipper to fling your dead into a neat heap to one side But all joking aside, with a bit of thought, it could be a winner if poisons stop working, because I don't think the government will rush to licence much stronger poisons in the future.
