Nah it's defo mice. Nailed two. No evidence of rats at all. Just mouse droppings. They didn't come in a plastic film or anything so I'm wondering if they'll be less effective the more they longer they have been packaged up?

yes its true its illegal for any poisons available to do that
as years ago there was secondary poisoning with animals eating the dead bodies now its impossible for that to happen even with rat poisons
with the baited mouse boxes they dont need eat any !
they just need to lick it is sufficient its so fast acting

Rats are disgusting, and I hate them. To be honest, I never really dispised rats before. At least that's until a rat family invaded my house. It was such a pain to get rid of them. It took almost a year to get rid of them finally. A family friend recommended a pest control company, and they helped me out. Before that, nothing else seemed to work. I even got a cat, and it did nothing. I don't know if my cat thought he was starring in Tom and Jerry, but he was useless. At least now I am rat-free free, but I get really paranoid if I see or hear something in the house. For more information visit https://enviropcs.com.au/.

i myself keep birds and have found the best way and quickest way of keeping on top of this problem is to buy a bucket drill a hole either side at the top of the bucket put some water in the bottom of the bucket ,get yourself a empty can drill the same size hole in the bottom of the can then get yourself a cane that fits through all 3 holes making sure that it can spin around then put your chosen spread on the can i use peanut butter on my cans and presto you watch how quick you catch the blighters

you can relax knowing full well your pets will come to no harm at all

pretty much the same as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEaAlxCgO5U

Yep...and very entertaining to watch too, especially when they struggle swallowing a large one.

Then chicken feed attracts the rats and you're worse off than mice!

We've had the odd rat in the garden since the new neighbors started keeping chickens and cooking on an open fire just behind our garden (don't ask).
Bloody annoying, who really needs chickens in the garden these days, surely it must be more hassle and just as expensive to feed the blooming things than grabbing a dozen eggs from Tesco?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
