we use racumin paste bait. these come in a tea bag and can be stapled down. says on box that there is an antidote for pets that eat it. also leaflet inside reckons no secondary poisoning if they eat dead rats. have found this bait works when all else has failed. we just staple to bit of wood and then place where dogs can't get it. we work on dairy farm and get plagues come through that we have managed to get rid of. i put some in the tractor the other day when one decide to get trapped in there and then run all over me trying to get out.]]> Fri, 12 Jun 2015 09:46:51 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=110452&PID=1563229&title=rats#1563229 <![CDATA[Rats : bazza wrote: cirrus wrote:Consider...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=110452&PID=1563163&title=rats#1563163 Author: cirrus

Shyte that would drive me to drink.
Someone hates you and has spent many a year and generations of rats to get them to do this just to you. Did you pull any pony tails while you were at kindy? 
Seriously though the buggers have set up shop in your pride and joy and are gathering bedding. I had a mouse do this in my boat and every time I ripped the floor up (no easy task either) it would hide up in the front under a bit of floor I couldn't remove so about the third time I emptied a full can of fly spay into the compartment and no further issues. 
BTW I finally nailed a junior last night but there are bigger fish to fry for sure. I have patience and think I'll out live them.

Caught a couple of small rats in traps over the last few days, but no luck on Mummy and Daddy rat.
I did find one of my pre-feeding spots still had lots of dates but all the cat bikkies have gone (now that I have removed the unset trap - suspicious effin rats!). Restocked the bikkies, so we'll see what happens tonight.

Rats, been following this thread and having a chuckle, bugger me found a dirty streak down the side of the ute today, turns out Ratus has camped up in the under floor insulation above and pi**ed all down the side of said ute.
 
Now have baits nailed to floor plates, traps baited with kumura, jam, peanut butter and cheese, barstools.
 
Cheers
