What are the methods of catching weasels? What natural enemies are they afraid of?

What people who raise chickens in rural areas fear most is the weasel's sudden "New year greetings". As we all know, weasels are very cunning and act quickly and can climb trees and water. So, what are the methods of catching weasels? What natural enemies are they afraid of?

I. the catching method of weasel

1. Cage arrest with wooden boxes closed

A box with a length of 3 feet, a width of 0.6 feet and a height of 0.5 feet is made of planks 0.03-0.09 feet thick. At both ends of the wooden box are traverses. A small hole is drilled in the back of the gate, and a wire slot is engraved in the middle of the lid of the box, and a small hole is also drilled in the middle of the online slot. Then tie small round nails at each end of a 3-foot-long string, hang a 2'3-inch long string in the center of the rope, hang a small hook made of iron wire at the bottom of the rope, and hang the bait on the small hook. when the weasel comes to steal food in the box, it touches the small round nails at both ends of the gate to get out of the gate, and the gate hangs down by itself, shutting the weasel into the box.

two。 Calcium carbide capture method

This method is not only simple to operate, but also effective. Just set up a wire pocket outside the cave, throw a calcium carbide into the cave, and throw one or two cups of water into the cave, the calcium carbide will smoke when it meets the water, and the weasel will run out scared by the smoke and go right into the wire pocket we have set up.

3. Chase with a dog

Dogs can smell weasels, and their barking scares them, so keeping a dog at home can also scare away weasels.

4. Bamboo tube trapping

The 0.9-foot-thick bamboo tube is cut into 2 murals and 3 feet long, and the mouth and ground face are buried in the ground. The inside of the bamboo tube must be kept smooth, the bait is put into the bottom of the tube, and the weasel gets into and eats, and is caught because it cannot exit.

5. Drive away with light

They are afraid of the light, so we can install some lights in the courtyard and turn them on at night so that we can drive away the weasels and prevent them from destroying the crops.

6. Inverted beard cage capture method

The steel bar grinding tip with elasticity is woven into an inverted beard cage that can only be in and out, must be made of iron, not bamboo. When the cage is finished, put live toads to lure them into stealing food.

7. Tool snap

We can buy some mouse traps or sticky mouse boards in the market, which like to be active at night. Therefore, we only need to put the clip or sticky mouse board into the courtyard at dark, and the next day we can see that some of their unescaped weasels have been punished.

Second, what natural enemies are weasels afraid of?

As the saying goes, "one thing falls and one thing falls". It is absolutely unexpected that the natural enemies of weasels are geese, eagles and dogs, and what they fear most is the droppings of geese and geese.

Although weasels can steal chickens, they are also good at killing rats. therefore, reasonable capture of any animal should be carried out on the premise of maintaining the balance of natural ecology.
