I am afraid that if I used a electrical trap I would cause a blackout in the city.

According to the Amazon list of features:  Indoor use only

Otherwise, looks like someone built a better mouse trap!    :thumbsup:

Not much action lately. I only get to hunt while wife Is in shower and population low enough I seldom see them while I'm armed.

So, you're saying the rats only show up when your wife struts around naked before getting into the shower at night?

I'm not sure you have the right definition of "action!"

101...

"Lost" a trap in the garden.  Wife found it today.  Had a dead rat- or what was left.  Musta been dead for two weeks.  Not much left other than hide and maggots. 


she was not pleased...

Oh yea, the last 3 were with the marauder.  You don't need a perfect shot to kill quickly with a .25 cal predator pellet.  Pretty much hit the rat anywhere and it'll bleed out very quickly. It's a little louder than the fusion but I go inside immediately after the shot.



This evening when I got home I had a package waiting. 

It had two LDCs in it.  One for each rifle. I want to do my part in helping the environment by not spreading lead dust.   Anyway got to do a shot with the marauder.   I almost got to test it shooting a rat but it went into the brush too quickly.  I settled on just shooting the bank. I've heard LDCs can change how the report sounds.  It did sound different but not so sure it affected the volume. 
I'll require further measurements of escaped lead dust during daylight hours.

Might need to call the EPA - rats seem to be dying from lead poisoning.
