then it gets worse
only one of my fenn traps is set, the next might get dangled at rat height in the wood shed, baited under sellotape on the treadle
wink, wink, nudge, nudge, snap
to paraphrase the python
worse part two, there is a very sly way to use a MK 4 ir night sight, pcp, decent invisibility, a good suppressor and a line of sight on high to a decent backstop and baiting station position
i spose the sly part re "the public" as well as the target might be a problem if i got it wrong and somebody got upset
the backstop would be about a brick depth from the alley which is a public highway and the nest is attic+30 ft so the distance from discharge is well naughty in uk law even if the shot would be safe, nearly silent and almost certainly invisible(i have silk gloves and meshnet)
i am tempted to ask advice but if i was asked for it, i would say don't and you never said that:lol: |

all three of those are true, the good news is youngii sammison is, rather nervously, still about but the nice thing about fenns is that set properly by catch is unlikely.
with the big nipper style of rat trap by catch is a considerable risk, as is a trapping and mangling rather than a clean execution of the intended victim
in a fenn4 a mouse would either not set it off or be safe on the treadle while the arms meet over it, it would be a nasty surprise and bouncier than white water rafting but probably physically harmless
long tail mice do not seem keen on flesh based bait either unlike rats
a slight aside but ideal for a broader approach
a little while ago i read about an industrial rat trap that seems rather effective
a door with a nice aroma, door shuts, rat exposed to fumes of solvent anaesthetics(and a bit of disinfectant), trap opens rat falls into solvent tank and dies, machine resets and counts
when it has got a tankful it phones home for a cleaning crew to empty the tank and resupply it
these things were taking hundreds a week when they were being tested |
