Shooting a rat

**madjbs** · 09-03-2008, 09:42 PM

I think you need a deep bucket half full of water

^ Ahhhh! Water wasn't mentioned, but I do see how that would be an advantage. Thanks.

Bleach would be better, but the mouse screaming might get on your nerves after a while.

BTW, the kitchen roll is way to small for a rat.

Fair enough. Maybe a piece of plastic drain pipe or something.

I thought rats were quite strong swimmers?

Maybe wall paper paste would do the job - a bit like quicksand? The more it struggles the more it slips under.

How about a bucket full of sulphuric acid?

Now we are in time travel mode!!

My first gun in the UK was a Webley and Scott "Garden Gun" That I got for my 8th birthday !!
Used it for shooting rats in the barn.
It was (I think) a .22 ( or maybe a little bigger) single shot bolt action and the cartridges were about 3" long filled with "Dust Shot"
Converted a rat to hamburger at 5 yards!!!
Probably the same as rat shot

A gun licence is not a licence to kill.

For Christ sakes everyone knows that Noodles! You have to be a certified double "0" agent to get a license to kill.

^Chinthee seems to be doing a good job of getting them confused

Anyway this weekend I splashed out 50baht on a new rat catcher cage thing, baited it with his favourite bread, made sure there was no other food available, he aint come back, I don't think rats do tours of peoples houses and then go back to their own so I got to assume Mr Nasty Rat is here somewhere, but I really have no idea where, give it another night of the rat trap being in here then start moving it on to different floors....

Geez Dog, it doesn't look very welcoming -- even to a rat.

You might consider a little carpet and maybe a tiny poster or two.

And drinks. You'll need drinks.

**Topper** · 13-03-2008, 03:08 PM

Bait it with peanut butter....the little fookers love it!

**Chong Boy** · 13-03-2008, 03:17 PM

does nobody use the rat glue? comes in a small green can and is sticky brown non toxic glue that you smear on a plastic tray (or cardboard) and stick a few grains of rice in the middle. works like a treat!

Last one I caught had 5 little babies while stuck to the tray so I felt a bit bad, but it had been pissing me off for days.

**dirtydog** · 13-03-2008, 03:24 PM

The glue will only catch the small ones, the big beasty ones can get off the glue

**Chong Boy** · 13-03-2008, 05:02 PM

that makes sense, must be a big bast*rd to get off that sticky crap though

Stick with the gun!
