    Always funny when you are using a highly effective way of dealing with a problem and someone starts asking why you don't use a different method 😄

    Property owner is lucky to have you available or it would be game over for the poor chickens. Rat populations never go down on their own unless rampant disease takes over and then you have an even worse problem. Nice work, that air rifle is incredible.

    I wish I had this gear and skills.
    I bought my house 20 months ago and the rundown place next door had the squatters (referred to as the devils rejects, facial tatts & all) kicked out 4 months later.
    Then the rats came, dogs have no chance (Australian and french bulldogs) cause you cant vatch a ninja with a tank.
    Took up residence in my floors ceiling & classic 1986 Rx7 Turbo, trashed the interior, built a nest behind the drivers taillight.
    Interior was up for a refresh now it's up for a full rebuild.

  • @robertmoyse4414
    @robertmoyse4414 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I like watching your shooting because it is about as ethical as it is possible to be. I used to keep rats as pets. Individually they are surprisingly vulnerable and prone to all sorts of illnesses but their collective resilience is amazing. It is partly because they learn so fast, but mainly because they can breed so prolifically so young. If someone could develop a poison that stopped their reproduction capacity but didn’t make them feel sick they might not learn from it. Some chickens will kill and eat rats. It depends on the chook and its circumstances.
