MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I'm not a nice person (and they're eating my biking gloves and knee pads), so I want capital punishment rather than rehousing and kind words
are "ordinary" ones (spring loaded bar) effective or do I need some high tech bullshit ?
(I hear peanut butter is the bait of choice - true ?)
yeah, traps are the way forward. some poisons are ok as the go in search of water but most make them die somewhere inaccessable. break their freaking necks I say!
chocolate is bait of choice,spring ones good ,just watch your fingers when setting them.
yes, peanut butter is good but this is better!

Bacon-rind worked best for me. They seem to have no interest in cheese, sadly.
B&Q do a plastic version of the traditioanl spring trap which is the proverbial piece of pi55 to set and kills em just as well - I should know, I've had 20 odd in the last year or so out of the garage. Dab of butter topped with a small piece of chocolate worked for me. I'd seen them lurking and wasn't too bothered by their antics but then one of them ate the bite valve of my camelbak - I had to unleash the fury after that.
maltesers on traditional wooden traps work well for us (and a good reason to open/finish off the rest of the box...)
nevermind...hotlink doesn't work for somereason.
Needless to say, my contribution was both captivating and hilarious.
