Yeah - well...we have chickens, and a guinea-pig hutch, and do composting of everything that the chickens and piggies (and dogs) don't eat...which to be honest isnt much - the dogs adore eating cat and chicken sh*te
We have had rats at the end of the property for months - but since the missus very rarely ventures that far, it wasnt a problem - even though the neighbours for once were relatively polite and said they would wait until vermin breeding season was over.
I did look into all the fun options when it comes to PCP air weapons - totally unregulated here in Belgium, meaning I can happily buy a .50 cal PCP gun that can pretty much down a small elephant. A tad overkill for our problem - but interesting to see.
Missus was in ballistic NO mode - even though I said "we live in the country - shooting vermin kinda has to happen".
She was not at all with me on that point.
Now she has seen a goddam huge rat standing on the ladder of the chicken coup....
...so - any suggestions for a PCP? I kinda fancy the FX range, but they are pricey.
A mate who runs a gun range says "buy electric shock traps" - I honestly dont know if they work?
