Matt 160 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 If it was legal (which it isn't) for you to trap rats and then release them for terriers, I would recommend any of the British cage traps. Pre-bait until you are getting good 'takes' and then set to catch. The monarch rat trap is a good multicatch, but needs a little expertise to work well. Network make a very good single catch compact cage, which I've also used to good effect. All of this is hypothetical anyway, because like most other law abiding citizens, I could never condone what you suggest (between the text talk). Quote Link to post
