Primitive but effective mousetrap

[k0ua]

For those that are interested in shooting rats there are several interesting videos on you tube of a lady in Britain hunting rats at night with an infrared movie camera mounted onto the scope of her pellet gun. Snypercat even has a video showing which camera she used and how to mount it in the scope.

That was extremely interesting, both the adaptation of the sony cam to the scope and the other video of the actual rat "sniping". I think people would pay good money to go on a rat hunt like that. :dance1: I was a little suprised that a British lady was so clever in her adaptation and usage of the air rifle. She even had a simple but clever folding chair to steady the rifle while looking at the LCD screen while resting the rifle. I noticed it had a suppressor on it as well. Ingenious and effective. Good show Madame ! Cheerio, and good ratting!

Here is the lady that built the scope adaptor now using the rifle.

Old Granny with her shotgun.. Irene Ryan, I think. Haven't thought about her for a while.

Here's a different picture of her as Irene Noblette (her real name)

Yeah, after I watched her build the night vision setup, I clicked on her account at youtube and there's several videos of her hunting. I can only imagine such a rat problem! YIKES! Anyhow, that's a $1500 dollar pellet gun plus accessories!

Yeah! She was taking little to no time and hitting them right behind the eyes each time. Darn impressive. And again, YIKES!!!! on the rat problem. :laughing:

I mentioned above that I was using the TSC poison.

Tomcat with Bromethalin Bait Chunx, 4 lb. Pail - For Life Out Here

Someone mentioned some of the poisons make the critter leave to look for water so they don't die in the building.

I suspect that's true as I have put it all over my house and barn, seen strong evidence that they are eating it. In fact they were eating it this past winter as fast as I could put it out. It was disappearing as quickly as if it were cheese. The mice are gone now as I see no evidence of them and the bait is not being touched. Prior to using this, I was catching 2-3 a day in traps.

I have not seen or smelled one instance of dead mouse in my house or barn. I suspect the story about leaving to get water is true.

All I know is I have no more mice, alive or dead.
