Why shoot rats?
There are thought to be more than 10 million rats in the UK (…yuk).
Rats carry many diseases which can spread to humans, normally through their urine, including: leptospirosis or Weil's disease, salmonella, listeria, toxoplasma gondii and hantavirus.
Rodent contamination also presents a significant risk to livestock health. Both cattle and sheep will ingest a large proportion of faecal contamination (Daniels & Hutchings 2001).
Rats can also inflict structural damage. They can cause fires by gnawing away the insulation around electrical cables, floods by puncturing pipes and they chew through gas pipes. The insurance sector has estimated that rodent damage to wiring is responsible for 25% of all electrical fires in buildings.
Finally, rats can ruin an organisation's reputation. If clients and customers spot evidence of rodent infestation in the premises you manage, they are unlikely to want to do business with you.

[@jameslacey858]

I used to work for an animal feed store only around 2000 sqft. with an infestation. The rats knew when the store was closing and would line up on the rafters around 5pm. I could shoot them off the walls and their buddy beside them wouldn't even move. Took 1 year every second day for at least 2 hours plus traps to end the mess.

[@PeterMaddison2483]

I bet they thought, 'Yep, more food for me' - Until they got the bullet themselves, lol

[@phantom-xb6wv]

this seems like a genuine good job, imagine just shooting targets for a living and not putting your life on the line.

[@jagdpanther2224]

The air was filthy in a huge dump of rubbish! Not good for health!

[@JorgeVelazquez09]

Sweet gig! Enjoy!

That looks like an air gunners dream. And they get to use thermal scopes? What a great job. I just found my second career.

I'm amazed you didn't wear respiratory protection in there!

[@SXJEREMY]

water will be added to stop potential airborn hazards even tho waste always has its hazards... its catch 22 to the job

[@Machster10]

Water won't help much. You need a respirator.

[@haatpraat2993]

I find videos like this comforting.

[@richardcampbell5762]

Back here in the United States I have a few friends that work in the Waste Management Department. Looks just like that building. I never thought about it but I'm going to hit them up and see if I can do some pesting for them. It would be like shooting fish in a bucket. Great video and thanks for the idea. 👍👍✌🇺🇸

great vid, more advertising for FX...great kit when it works, but noone adresses the elephant in the room, leaks....especially the impacts...leaks galore...and so many places it can happen, mine is on the way back to FX for the second time, 50$ to ship every time, incontrast my 15yo rapid, aa410 has no issues, and my vulcan is trucking on its 2nd year no issues....FX impact mk2 lasted 2 weeks and started to leak...sent it in and 6 weeks later got it back, but still leaking....now its going back again and this is a 2K$ rifle, you would think they would put some more care and attention into their flagship rifle

[@RS-xq6je]

Agreed but any gun could potentially have a fault that's just the way it goes, granted a well made brand helps eliminate the likelihood but at the end of the day any gun could develop a fault at least that's my opinion. I say that but if I spent 2k on an airgun I'd expect it to look after itself haha

Best way guy's to keep them still in one spot I use peanut butter with catfood and corn mixed together in sometimes frozen form placed on a disposable flat item in my case DVDs that didn't work or were messed up. Since they can't run off with it they have to stay in that area just make sure there's a safe backdrop just in case of pass throughs.
