    I always use fishy-smelly baits, tuna, sardines, mackerell etc, do a search (top right of screen) for "RAT BAIT" you should find loadsa info already on here.

    i know that this sounds odd but try putting a tray of brown sugar outside the hole and burn it with a blowtorch, that usually brings them out on my shoot after about 10 minutes.

    another way is to pierce a tin of dog of cat food with a screw driver and then use that as bait, they tend to hang around a bit more because they cant get to the meat.

    Rat Bait

    Try this allways worked for me:


    Chicken bits (raw)
    Leave in bin liner for a week or so (outside)
    Microwave for 5 minutes before you go
    Place bits where the rats run
    Place chicken over bait & secure with sticks
    Apply tomato sauce
    Pace back to your shooting position
    Zero your kit on the bait

    They will be out in a flash
    Let them try for a while until they feel safe
    Then Blat the *******s

    BTW I use a spare microwave in the Garage, the smell is sickening

    I used this method for Daylight shooting, best bag was 40 in 3 Hours,

    Just remember to clear away some dead ones.
    They will allways come back & consume there mates as well!

    Having said that I have not seen a Rat for 3 Months, they just
    vanished?????

    Good Luck

    What was that tip to get sandwich crumbs and tea out of your keyboard again?

    Could you warn us to put drinks and nibbles down before doing that again,

    Cooking those chicken scraps sounds a bit gross, I find my rats love peanut butter, chicken corn and tuna flavour cat food. Best to use something that is not easy for them to carry off so they are forced to sit and eat the food there and then, thus making it easier to obliterate them!
