Alan, do they do mail order and how much is a trap?? Jane, you need a number 4 Fenn trap, available from any gunsmith or most agricultutral supplies for about £6.25 each or £74 a dozen. Using bricks make a chamber big enough for the trap to operate in, with a pipe at either end to make it 'inviting', set trap and cover chamber with a roofing tile. IME no need to drown a rat or squirrel caught in a fenn trap, they've always been dead already. Fen obviously make different forms of trap, is the one you are talking about a break-back trap? If so, I would be reluctant to use it, in case it were either a cat or hedgehog which had wandered into it, cats don't often get caught, but it is common to find hedgehogs in them. The trap I was advised to use is a cage, the squirrel remails alive, unless there are lots of foxes about, we have had two killed, in the traps, by foxes, the result is not a pleasant sight. NB1 traps MUST be checked every 24 hrs at least (by law) if you're going away, leave them unset NB2 make sure its a good heavy tile, we wouldn't want curious cats getting their paws caught, would we? For some reason sqirrels just can't resist running through the tunnel vbg hth -- Derek Turner Outlook Express is worth precisely what you paid for it. -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

There have been reports of them climbing trees :-) Heh, you've not seen anything until you've watched a pair of squirrels play tag (at speed) on the walls of a pebbledashed house (think the climbing walls some leisure centres have Not actually seen any of the grey buggers round here yet, I'm almost hoping they're not as abundant or have all moved into the cities where there's all that free food. -- The Flying Hamster http://www.korenwolf.net/ I'm not a fascist, I'm not that nice.
