Snares

[Carnebwen]

Used to use them when I lived in Cornwall. Mostly to kill foxes bothering or killing chickens and geese. People don't like them because they are indiscriminate. Depending where you live you might get the neighbours pony cat. Plus assuming you do catch sonething it's not a pleasant death. But meh.. If its rats no one cares.

We Adlai used those multitraps you speak of and the odd gin trap in the grain store/garage/loft. You hear that going off if a rat gets caught for certain! (slam, thunk, squuuuuuuuuueeeeeeeee. Woke me and my dig up one night)
