To catch a Rat

[Deleted member 294929]

How do I catch a Rat with killing or hurting it.

I just want transport it to a wood far enough it can't find it's way back.

Taking it out of its own territory, will be a death sentence..

There is definitely, never only 1 rat.

Be careful there are laws for how you are allowed to do this

Pests Act 1954

An Act to make further provision with respect to the destruction or control of rabbits and other animals and birds, and to the use of spring traps for killing or taking animals.

Your correct but I only ever see one so they are clever.

It may be a death sentence but at least I'm giving them a chance

No it's actually a sweet looking Rat

Of course it isn't but don’t let that stop you shoehorning your hatred of the Conservatives into a non-political thread on a DIY forum.

Grass/soil was dry enough to get the tractor out on Thursday, to cut the grass, I got most of it done and got to the section at the very back. Laid upside down and dead was a rat, right in the middle. I've never, ever seen one before here, but there are certain to be loads around, with a nature reserve on the right and lots of railway waste-land at the back, beyond my rear fence.

Our cat used to bring us dead rats - after she had eaten all four legs off of them!

Sadly we had our Cat put to sleep the other week. Hardly see a livr Rat when he was around.

RIP Peter the Cat Bonetti.

I didn't want the dog getting it, so I picked it with a spade, and flung it over railway's fence. She's on a bit of a diet, so might have been tempted.
