Warfarin-based poisons are not particularly unpleasant. The victims
just
get weaker and weaker and lapse into a coma.
The Warfarin tends to prevent the blood clotting, and the passage of
food down the gut abrades the villi (a design feature to allow
nutrients
to be absorbed through the walls of the blood vessels) and the animal
loses blood internally, and weakens and dies. There is no pain
involved.
How do you know?
because it's used in humans as an anti clotting agent.
The village idiot mentality is astounding!
That sounds like the voice of experience.
Using a substance medicinally is not the same as using it to kill. If you
fed enough Warfarin to a human to kill him would it cause pain?

Are you serious about this, Mary? You think letting mice have free run of
the house (which is what will happen) is a good idea? That they should be
fed so that they breed even more?
You're not concerned about being over run, about the disease spread and
mouse dirt on e.g. kitchen work surfaces, floors, in humans' beds, clothes,
linen cupboards etc?
