stinking out

[MR TEA POT 1,287]

hi folks,what it the best thing for stinking out rabbit holes to get them to move out,iread in a book that potatoes soaked in diesel will work.I am asking because on the land where i go there is a warren with about 200 holes but nearby there are smaller warrens of about 5-10 holes because i go ferreting on my own the smaller warrens will be easier for me to watch all nets.

I used scots pine cones soaked in cresote . but why not net up all the smaller burrows and run a longnet or two out and put your ferrets into the bigger unetted burrow

hi bigbob,that was my first plan of action but the warren is on a bank at the side of a busy road and i can not see all the holes,because i ferret alone,if the ferrets come out on the roadside they will get killed because the road is that busy.

read on another forum, woodga replied to someone, saying diesel soaked rag's.

 

But 200 holes, and diesel at £1.00 a litre......

 

Supose you could always use trusty old red diesel

I do most of what i get up to on my own ,but when a job like that comes up i can russle up 3/4 guys to pitch in and get it done mate

they reckon king edwards or maris piper are the best!

Try using renardine, but don't spill any on you. It will take weeks for the smell to fade. I normally use dried teabags rather than rags. A few drops on each is enough and you don't need one in every hole.
