believe it or not, some geezer got done for "unnecessary cruelty" for drowning a rat.

Get yourself a Jack Russell, mine used to dispatch rats with surprising efficiency.

Reminds of a time I had an infestation of bats in our house, fumigated the fockers. That was the easy bit, getting rid of the filthy stinking dead flying rats was not nice. That was before some silly bugger decided they become protected, wont be long before somebody wants to protect rats

Bats are insectavores and have never been considered vermin.....plus their guano is worth a fortune and is sold by the ounce :doh:

What gun do you use, I tried a 12 bore once but it made a hell of a mess. Didn't the noise wake all the neighbours

These days find a shovel is quicker and easier, and can be used after to bury them in the muck heap

 

[GRATCH]

You need a .410 with a hush-power moderator on it.

Couple of Jacks'll go though a pack of rats in seconds.....nothing even comes close to being as good

Exactly, thats why I moved onto a shovel

What was left could never have been identified as a rat

Hate the dammed things, so many at the yard at the moment I have to stamp my feet and shout to make them run before going into the hay store. Other night about 20 ran past me to get out Yard owner only poisons them once a year and then we find half dead rats when mucking out.

i think poison is worse than shooting, as you said they have nasty long death but with a gun click and game over, plus a guns alot more accurate than poison (depends who is shooting though)

Here in Merka many herald the Colt revolver or the Winchester lever action as the gun that the won American west (with all our expansionist tendencies and wotnot) but it is in fact the good old smooth bore shotty that did the most work. Get one.
