Rodents and their (safe) demise
In article , "Robbo" writes: | Anyone in URG had any success in eradicating dear old Roland Rat from their | garden *without* resorting to rodenticide? | | There are several cats in my area and I *really* don't want a knock on | effect of Rat poison if they get to a carcass etc. | I also have a dog, who's naturally inquisitive about "roadkill" and the like | so I am looking for a more humane way of despatching these little buggers | before the veg patch gets it's first seedlings soon. Arsenic is no longer legal for use as a rat poison in this country, and even phosphorus did not usually contaminate the rat carcases enough to harm predators. I have never heard of the modern poisons (legal in the UK) doing so. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
