A farmer pal of mine measured a dead one at 20 inch nose to tail the other day (nasty)

On a radio programme last night there was a discussion about how large the rat population was...they used scientific methods to calculate that although humans outnumber rats...there are approximatly ten million rats in britain....7 of which are to be found in the countryside and the remaining 3 million in cities...

I bet rats wonder what they did to deserve such dirty smelly companions to live with. I dislike rats, but with baiting, trapping, shooting and removing sources of food and drink, they move on. They don't like it up em. Good housekeeping outside and in reduces the opportunities for them.

I keep the .410 handy for that situation

[woodland dweller]

Hey stubby 410 for rats, a bit over the top and expensive for the cartridges, get yourself an old garden gun, remember those, run out of cartridges for mine, smaller than a 410.The cost of poison is a megga rip off.

[Rich2484]

Poison will only work for so long. Then you have to change it and use another type. Rats are good at building up resistance quick.

 

I remember the garden gun. Do they even make them anymore???

Decent air rifle is a lot cheaper than either and less likely to upset the neighbours.
