For anyone wondering why at 2:41 he is swinging the rat, rats can climb up their own tails and bite. So to prevent it from being able to grab and climb its own tail, he swings them.

Consider getting Reach-n-Grab devices. Flex poles with grabbers on the end activated by the handle.

It'd be cool if someday you could get a ground mapping sonar machine. To give an idea of the system, and rat location.

[@Whatthefudgecookie]

@@parac0sm0naut26 you'd have to squeeze the rats very hard with a grab and reach. Pair that with te fact it's easier and more accurate to go in with your hand than with a grabber on a stick and you see why he just grabs them. I have owned pet rats, I know how fast they can be. They're quite decent at being escape artists. Hence why they can climb up their own tail. If they're desperate. They're desperate.

[@childofcascadia]

@Raven4K Rats breed a bit slower than mice. And yes, they will come back. But if you dont control the population, they go out of control. This is one of the best most efficient ways Ive seen to keep them under control. If you poison them, they die a horrible agonizing death. And no creature even a pest animal deserves that agony. Never mind the poison potentially affecting other animals who eat the bait or poisoned rat corpse. I once saw a strychnine poisoned squirrel, someone with chickens had put strychnine bait out to keep small animals away from the chicken feed. It was the most horrific thing i have seen an animal suffer. Its body was arched so far back its head was touching its tail, its face was frozen in what looked like a grimace with all its teeth showing and it was flopping around on the ground gasping for air. My friend killed it and buried it to put it out of its misery and to prevent a dog from getting to it. Now, imagine that was your pet suffering like that because it messed with a poisoned animal corpse or got into bait. Better the rats die to predator animals as nature intended
