Good catch. I'll bet it would work though.

Ok, you got me there. I was looking at it from the organic gardener and
using poison.

If that is the case say so. Ricin is organic. So are a host of other plant
toxins ranging from those derived from amanitas or oxalic acid from rhubarb.

The Aleuts in Alaska used to use aconite from monkshood as a poison on their
spears, to kill whales. Monkshood grows wild in my garden -- it's gorgeous.
