Rodent Fishing Devices

 

For mass rodents, you can point to self-made traps of various designs. One of them is the Zurner box trap, which is a box of two compartments: the top has two inlets on the sides, and its bottom consists of two movable boards, which can be easily turned over on the axis under the influence of the rodent's gravity, which tends to lure in this part of the trap; the animal falls into the lower compartment of the box, and the inverted board occupies, due to the light spring, its original position. Usually this trap is set so that only the upper compartment remains above the floor or the ground; The lower part of the box is hidden and located in the corresponding slot.

According to the same type, a trap-trap is used, consisting of a board, at the end of which a hayboard is fixed on hinges that easily leans under the weight of a rodent; an animal attracted by the bait, then falls from a plate onto a vessel or barrel prepared for this purpose with smooth sheer walls at least 70 cm high filled with water by one third; in winter, salt is added to the water to prevent freezing. The same plank from the trap trap can be fitted to the edge of the table.

The simplest modification of the described trap can be a barrel trap, closed by a swinging lid, mounted on a horizontal rotating axis. The lure is pinned on one side of the lid; the animal, attracted by her, turns the cap over with its weight and falls into a barrel of water. The overturned lid immediately returns to its original position, thanks to a counterweight attached to a rotating axis.

Along with traps, traps of various designs are used, the principle of action of which consists in killing attracted rodents with a blow from a strong release spring.

The most common type of trap is a spring trap. A steel spring is fastened on a wooden plank, from which the arc hinges back; this arc is held when charging the trap with a lining, the end of which is hooked; the bait is set on this hook. When the lure moves, and with it the hook, the latter releases the cover plate, and the arc instantly with great force leans back and kills the rat or mouse. For the success of this trap, it is recommended to hang it on the wall, placing it on a height accessible to the rodent. In this case, when eating the bait, the animal is located at the diameter of the trap arc, where the spring's spring pull is greatest and the rodent is crushed inevitably. In addition, the hanging trap does not interfere with cleaning and movement in the room, less clogged. When charging a trap, care must be taken that the spring does not jump off the stop and not damage the fingers of the loader.

The described spring trap of small size is used against mice (the length of a plate is up to 12 cm) and against rats (a plate more than 15 cm). By carefully charging the trap and reloading it every time after catching an animal, you can catch a few dozen specimens overnight.

In addition to traps and traps, they use traps for exterminating rats. Of the various types of trap used, the simplest device has a trap. This trap represents a high tub or barrel, to which a board is attached for the possible raising of rodents to the edges of the tub. A small amount of water is poured into the tub, about 20 cm deep, and the surface of the water is masked with a thin layer of hay covered with bran to attract rodents. In the middle of the bottom of the tub, a brick is placed on its short edge, and part of the brick must stick out of the water. Rats caught in the tub, raise the struggle for the possession of places on the brick and gnaw each other. porn hd
