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. 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 Ta wouldn't a large plastic pipe with a non-return flap leading to the neighbour's garden or into a sewer solve the problem? -- Martin |
