When i did a load of ferreting on a local big (9000 acre) estate we did it in 3 hits. Ferreting and netting the first week, smoking and netting the second week. Third week we used a modified "Warren Destroyer". It still has the firing sensor but we use Propane and Oxyactelene mix. It has a slightly bigger bang than the standard warren blaster but does the job more effectively. The most we got targetting one warren (about 800 metres of hedgerows on either side) was near 400. We use the "Warren Detroyer" in the final week to collapse the tunnels when the least amount of rabbits are in there to keep suffering to a minimum. Any that get away can be let on its merry way to keep a fresh bloodline.

i thought a topex aplicator was designed so the contact was minimal.I was under the impression that you screwed the pellet container onto the applicator then put into the holes or you could push through minimizing the chances of gas pellets releasing the gas into your work area.

Am i mistaken ?

unlike rats, rabbits tend not to flush when smoked out.

 

if anyone has any rabbit control contracts around SE, ill be happy to help

i had a wildife managemet company for 5 years and hate all of the aluminum Phosphide gas pellets they are an evil way to kill it takes hours for the rabbits to die.

 

I work my ferrets all year round and very rairly have troble with them staying down the burrow eating babies. if you feed them mainly on rabbit and feed them the night before you go out the tend not stop and feed they just kill and move on. i also had a Rodenator Pro to use after the ferrets.

thats scrumpy hes a boarder lakeland. i dont use him for foxes as i dont agree with it but he is a bloody good gun dog. only problem is when he brings things back he stopps about 3m away and tears them to bits. he goes every where with me i mainly use him for working back and forth along my long net when ferreting or catching bunnies i only clip with the shotgun and he is good at finding shot deer when we are out stalking. he came from a traveller site just outside york so hes a hard little B$%*!@d.

[frenchy]

nice to here he does some work mate, yeah some people agree with digging with terriers, some dont.

my terrier comes every where with me to, you been up in scotland, i would think you do fair bit of stalking.

 

im out rabbiting, and shooting etc all through the season
