HOPE YOU GET THE BUGGER GARETH

The mink is not a British mammal, many were released by the "do gooders" when there were mink farms in the UK, they have no protection from hunting and are classed as vermin, some areas they are trapping them as they also hunt in water and are responsible for the demise of the water vole, hope you manage to trap it

 

Your right even the RSPBasas want rid of the mink. They kill everything.

[dava]

sorry to hear of your loss gareth hope you get the bassa

[blaz]

sorry to hear this gareth .invest in anti vermin control. .hears mine when their not sleeping. all 5 are good with birds but kill anything that comes near birds mice rats stoats young fox not had mink yet .after reading this a wee wake up call for all 5. mink and stoats both can be killed when killing fowal birds. the 5 3 cats 2 pit bulls. keeps most vermin at bay 4 legged and 2 legged.

yes, was surprised as to its size, have now found out how it got in to loft.

 

Any fancier that has a traditional sputnik trap, then make sure at the top of the plastic slide that there is no space between this and framework of loft.

I know I keep on about electric fencing BUT they are the best deterrent for all vermin and coppers a day to run. Happy for you Gareth that you managed to trap it.

[WulDon]

nail the bassa to the front of your loft, others will have second thoughts if any more about...

Very pleased to have got it, must thank wee Norman Orr for expertise in helping me get it.

[Guest bigda]

this will not GET ANY BETTER with the wheelie bins and now the small food stuff bins being introduced there will come a time in the tips for the vermin to move out of the tips into the sewers once more

if the rats and mice go into or under yer shed for feeding the weasel

will follow them, then the mink then the fox. the squirrels are eating the lid of the wheelie bins just now, making it easier for the rat to enter so they are evolving

[gulkie]

Your right Bigda there is getting less less scraps of food for vermine but they still got

To eat.

The male takes nothing to do with rearing its young so lets hope its a male.

[Guest chad3646]

those mink are everywhere thanks to the so called do gooders letting them free

[JohnQuinn]

I read a stat that there is a mink for every 100 yards of river or stream in the uk, that's a helluva lot i'd say. time to introduce mink coats again i think. !!
