It’s hard to guess without seeing how much prep has to be done but a ruff guide would be up to 50m2 would be between 5/8 grand, up to 100m2 between 9/12 grand, if it’s going onto uncracked concrete then there’s virtually no prep so it would be cheaper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol) 11'000m2, asbestos strip, new steel work rafter supports and all new purlins, 120mm composite roof panels, loads of wall cladding, membrane lined valley gutters.. tons of steel beams for opening units, supports etc, new roller shutters plus steel frames to support... its the job that kept growing.. 4 weeks left I reckon. . Got another one down the road for the same customer, owns loads of units.. and the vehicle repair centre that rents most of this unit has 8 of their own they want us to look at, plus put an extension on another .. I'm ready to retire though so Finleys got about 6 months to learn the lot lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Queer looking things Yes traps....the rat goes underneath sticks it's head in and the co2 canister fires like a captive bolt thing....whacks the rat it falls down and kicks its self away in it's final throws of life... Designed in NZ for controlling Possums...bigger of course...you can get different sized one for different species... If set on trees for squirrel..they drop to the floor and you can collect them...or of course cleared away by predators... It counts how many times it fires so you have a kill count...and it links to you phone Expensive though£160 per trap 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Honestly no idea mate....never used them before....we have just installed them...the local technician will be responsible for them...although I have linked one to my phone to monitor weather they kill much... For squirrel they would be great as squirrel are very easily trapped...so a bit of peanut butter in there and I think you would be inundated with dead bodies... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can get cheaper versions aswell, I’d not waste me money unless it was an extreme circumstances that called for it but know few lads who use them for grey squirrels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
