Lately at Vsport we have had some small furry visitors, they enjoyed eating their way through packaging and boxes so we decided some payback was due so tonight we hatched our latest hi tech rodent trapping device
some dry roasted peanuts, plastic tub (with added exhaust rubber taped to the top for extra trapping power) and a bit if tig welding stick:

and a cardboard box over the top (dan made a hole in the top as he was scared to have to lift the box off not knowing what was underneath )

front of the box facing the shelf is open as thats where they seem to like hiding
tomorrow we will update you on wether or not we have caught anything.

15 years ago a rat would have fell for it, but not any more. Would just would around the stick, pick up the nuts and come back tomorrow because you are feeding it.

if it doesnt work (we dont expect it to really ) then we will buy a proper one and use chocolate.
we knocked it up at about 6pm as we were leaving for a bit of a laugh. If it does catch anything we will keep it as a pet and call it Steve.

Dave, you need a stool, a bit of wood, a bin and a cardboard tube.
Fill the bin with battery acid too.
