[Farmall] Rodent (and other animal) killers

[slikdik at earthlink.net]

Of course that stuff might kill anything (raptors, Bobcats, Coyotes, domestic dogs and cats) that catch one of the rodents that has eaten that stuff. It causes internal bleeding and they frequently go outside in search of water as they get dehydrated. The effects are cummulative on the animals that eat these rodents. It might take a year to poison some of the wildlife around you but it will. There are products on the market that do not have this extended side effect. The local nature conservancy uses a product call "Gopher Getter" after they found 3 dead bobcats on the grounds  when they were using the regular stuff. I know I sound like a "tree hugger" but i feel we should be good stewards of the land around us.

>After the pesk control came out for 6 months and I saw what they did, I cancelled them and I bought a bait box like they use from the Ace Hardware. Most hardware stores and Home Depots have them. They are a black plastic container with a hole on the left and right sides the size of a Coke can. The lid opens to bait it. The bait is little cubes of "food" which the varmits eat on and take back to their den for others to dine on too. Soon, no more diners. It's clean and no dead anything to get rid of. It locks for safety around kids and animals.
