liam spotted 1 last night just after dark, but wasnt sure if it was reggie or ronnie, so i'll have a look through me scope later to try and see which one it was.
the rat population here is at an all time low at the minute, although i must admit it feels more rewarding somehow, targeting these rats individually.
its the old ''rat in the garden shed technique'' really. put some bait in front of a backstop for a couple of nights to get him used to it, then nail him if he turns up.
the trouble is, reggie and ronnie kept forgetting to turn up
they're not wised up, as i was feeding one while i stood 1ft away a few weeks back, i just think its a lack of competition for the food. i can put 5 piles of bait out and some nights its hardly touched, whereas this time last year they would scoff the lot within an hour a waiting game with a bit of luck thrown in it is then
