Wrighty we used to have a man who went round local farms but he did it with strickneen worms, he would find a run and drop a couple in and it was very effective but alas he could not get it any more so reverted to traps but no where near as good, when I was a nipper they got foxes like that as well but you had to be super careful else you might kill your neighbours dog while you were at it, dangerous stuff that was Buzzer

You shook my old brain (thats what I like to call it) talking about strickneen.
I remember an old keeper who used it on the farm, had it in a little waxed box the size of a box of matches and wouls lick the end of a match stick and wipe it in the eyes of a dead mole, rat, crow etc but whatever eat the corps died and whatever eat that died and so on, it would strike nine times, thats why it was called stricknine, strike nine, useless info I know, It was baned because it was indesciminate Harvey
