Just a thought

I wonder how many of our power-seeking, scheming politicians have actually read Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince?

And how many have not only read it, but taken his words to heart?

I was working with the pigs at various times today, which is also the time when I have space to muse.

Rat catching

I’ve had an email from a poultry keeper asking for advice on catching rats as they don’t want to use poison baits.

I wrote a “how-to” on making a trap box last year. This dramatically increases the effectiveness of nipper traps and is the only way to go if you’re using Fenn traps.

But I should also to point out that the environment must be made less attractive to rats.
