Before i incriminate myself am i going to get told off. OK i confess yes they are. The vermin stick their heads in to get the food and as soon as they apply pressure to the food tray it trips.

Every one to their own Jeanine, But our allotments have hoses, chicken/foul and pigeons so vermin is in abundance because of the free food on offer. In the past i have lost trays of veg where they have eaten the heads of the plants. You may not agree with my methods but i take every precaution not to damage any other wildlife
other than what will damage my garden
As its a hot, sunny, windy day i am off down the garden to commit GBH on the weeds.

I gave up using mousetraps because they always ended up catching rate, and the trap disappeared attached to the rat. Poison for me, but I found I could protect peas by putting them under cloches. Growing them in the mini-greenhouse didn't work too well this year, but the mice haven't found them when i put them up on the top shelves.

I did not look at it that way Jeannine, Altho some would say it is cruel even tho the traps are humane and i know the problems that people have in having to deal with dead vermin some would rather see a Brassica chomped to bits rather than remove a Caterpillar let alone a rat.
But there is a side that some don,t look at, to replace the peas 2 x £1 for peas £3. 50 for compost £3.00 for bus fare Them flipping rats have just cost me £ £8.50.
I will stick to my guttering in future, less work better result.
