I was just about to, the traps are very effective and once dead the tree

way.

Mole valley famers have branches around the south west of england, the one I
use is at Bridgwater.

Hi Alan,

I've just checked out their website at http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/
but the link to vermin traps http://www.molevalleyfarmers.com/pl2_VERMIN_TRAPS.htm
gives a 404 error, very disappointing!

I was planning on ordering something like this
http://www.killgerm.com/product-group.php?group=578
to go in a tunnel like this
http://www.killgerm.com/product-group.php?group=580

These ones seem to have a good press, but it looks like you need to
make your own tunnel from bits a wood
http://www.killgerm.com/product-group.php?group=584

I've got a touch of the DTs too which I think makes guns inadvisable,
apart from the traps being a lot cheaper and less time consuming.

When you say the tree rats don't come back, you obviously mean the
dead ones don't, but I guess the vacant territory gets taken over by
an adjacent gang, meaning squirrel trapping will become an ongoing
part of the gardening experience, oh what joy. They make nice
caseroles apparently.

Cheers!
