Definitions
- Tonnes of heavy metals are released into the atmos- 30 phere (zinc from the nets due to rusting).
- the nets are made from new or re ⁇ cycled plastic. There are various types, the two most common being: 1) a throated net (fig.l) 2) a net with flap (fig.2) The throated net is the most common, being used in deep water. The nets can be used in a variety of shapes, such as square, oval, hexagonal, etc., though round is the most obvious. Several colours are also available.
- the net with a flap is desiqned for use in shallow water.
- the throated net is able to expand (the throat (2) fig.l widens), enabling the rat to enter easily but preventing escape or habituation; thereafter the rats drown.
- the throat and flap contain escape holes ( (4) fig.1+2 ) for small fry such as crabs, frogs, fish, voles, etc., so that the nets work very selectively, the ends of the nets are sealed by welding or with a cover (fig. 1+2, (3) ).
- the flap (fig. 2, (6) ) in the flapped nets is hinged (5) this hinge is attached to the net itself or is fixed in some other way.
- the flap and throat can be made from PVC thread or other material.
- both systems can be made up as a complete net and pushed into the tube.
- the cheapest, most effective and longest lasting method is to make only the throat and the flap from plastic.
- the tubes which are dug transversely into the dike, can be of various shapes and sizes, from 20 cm. to 150 cm. long and from 6 to 70cm in diameter.
- the ideal size is 50 cm. long and 25 to 30 cm. in diameter.
- throats and flaps can also be used to make normal nets, i.e. without tubes, either wholly or partly from plastic and thread.
- the advantages of these tube nets are: l)No other animals are trapped by mistake. 2) hey work all year round.
- the muskrat population can be reduced to and maintained at an acceptable level within three years.
- the system is a new application and working method using new and fami- liar resources. It is effective, economical, environmen ⁇ tally friendly and selective.
- the ideal size is 50 cm long and 25 to 30 cm diameter, manufactured from plastic ( (1) fig. 1 ).
- the core of the problem is that there is currently no 10 structural and preventive approach, and many unwanted creatures are trapped.
