Rat poison a good idea?
There are many holes in my garden and I wonder if using rat poison
would get rid of the little pests. |

The last time rat poison was set out in my neighborhood, the squirrel population took quite a nose dive. Some misguided neighbor had called the township about seeing rats near the stream and we ALL were required to hire a pest control company and pay for it ourselves. Well, they had sorta kinda seen rats...MUSKrats, which we discovered swimming lazily along in the pond. What a pain all that was to go through. Boron |

I used to be overrun and I would put it in the tunnels, digging a hole with my finger, pouring the stuff, and closing it. then I discovered that predator urine keeps them away. I have not seen one in years. |

Smoke bombs may be a better solution for your mole problem. With any type
of poison there's always a risk that the poison may be ingested directly by pets or they eat something that was posioned. The main ingredients of smoke bombs e.g sulphur are not harmful to the soil, which is handy if you want to go vegie growing afterward.
