I'm looking for a Timms trap asap. I borrowed one from a friend but despite a good spray on the springs it doesn't set off, so there seems to be something wrong with it. The bait is gone each time and it's definitely possums, not rats. So I need one that is known to work.
There have been 24 deaths on State Highway 1 at Oakleigh in the last 20 years - including 20-year-old Sarah Jayne Galloway. (Please put NFP if your comments are not for publication.)
