You would be surprised,the foxes and cats had virtually disappeared from the property we go to a lot near St George.
Twenty years ago they were very common,we could easily shoot ten or more in a night,in say 2 to 3 hours spotting.And we would see them during the day.

The only thing that had changed was the introduction of baiting with 1080.

No 1080 baiting has been done on the property,or the neighbouring properties for the last two years,mainly due to the installation of the exclusion fences,and the neighbouring properties wanting to have working dogs.Hopefully they will never use it again.

We were out there four weeks ago,and we saw more foxes and cats than we had seen for many years,even though the area is in drought.

The property owners in the area put this down to not baiting,which was done only for wild dogs.

Another animal it doesn't seem to effect much is wild pigs.

Thanks. Just coincidence, no planning. They were trying to pinch our food.

People still buy those? Didn't think they were available now to be honest, haven't used one at home or for a customer for over 3 years now. With power consumption of around 8 watts to replace a 50 watt halogen, available in different temperature colours, dimable options, 12 volt and 240 there's really no point buying a halogen lamp IMO. Stick to the name brand LED's though, Ebay have some diabolical units, but I've only used Phillips LED's for the last few years and I've never had a failure and no one I've fitted them for has complained either.

Yes, we only buy LEDs now.

I might get some LED light bars to mount on the roof. Of my house
