I have visions of you wearing a fur stoal around your neck going out for dinner....but your probably just trapping them as a pest (coypu). What do you bait your traps with....I use peanut butter.

I dont trap them, its the coypu man paid for by the local Marie.  He does not use anything.  Might mention peanut butter to him.   Re the fur stole, no never can afford to go out to dinner.  Mind they turn the livers into pate down South.  Might try to do a deal with him.

He He He, TAS goes multilingual, and no I don't have chinese neighbours who eat rats. Although I did see a programme once where you could buy a BBQ'd rat in Asia. Well it's all meat! Sure look at all the devout Muslims who think we're vile. I have a mate from Pakistan who'd have gotten his mouth washed out if he'd even said pig as a child. Come armageddon (hello Rustyme!) the little buggers just might satrt to look tasty.

Still no rats caught by the way!

What a relief thought I was throwing away good protein.

we  found the old fashioned snap rat traps the best baited up with mars bar we caught one every night for 6 nights. We recently dug out a base for a new shed and the terrier dug up a nest with four babies in, unfortunately mum got away. We have bait stations all around but for some reason the rats are not eating the bait. I really hate rats and will do anything to try and get rid of them. We tried the hose thing and I dont know where they went but there was a new hole in the morning so we didn't manage to drown the little buggars! We cant have a cat as we have 7 whippets that don't like them and we live near a fast road.

Mmm Mars bars....going to have to try them next as the peanut butter just isn't doing the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.

Not at the price they charge for a mars bar in the English shops over here.

This might be worth a try - it works brilliantly with wasps that have nested in the ground.
Identify the entrance, get a bottle with half a pint of petrol in it ( doesn't need to be exact amount ) in the evening when they are all in put the neck of the bottle in the entrance and cover with a polythene bag, weighted down with a couple of stones. Leave until morning. There will be a few wasps that have been out overnight but that's it. The fumes do the job, many people make the mistake of lighting the petrol !!
So for rats, the question is will the fumes kill them?
