jayjay 264 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 just wondering if anyone can put me in the right direction,and if they have any recommendations as to whats the best and most effective rat poison i can buy on the market, ive tried trapping but cant seem to keep on top of them as there seems to be an increase in rats in my area,and ive even seen them in the lane through the day,they are going in the old stone walls which are bordering peoples gardens, thanks.

trappa 518 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Rats are not that fussy and are not like mice at all. Getting the poison into the holes will be more important than what anti coagulant to use. If your not sure get any rat "poison" from the shop but get it actually into where the rats are, they will eat it better this way. Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,881 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 make sure you get poison that can be used indoor and outdoor mate to bait the burrows as if you use indoor stuff only it can cause you trouble with secondry poisoning mate Quote Link to post
RatSnatcher 0 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Firstly all rodenticide/ poison will cause secondary poisoning. Don’t just stuff it in holes in walls and leave it, make sure you cover the entrance to the holes with bricks or rocks etc...... If you are going to lay poison anywhere, be prepared to regularly search out for dead uns or you will cause mayhem for other wild life!! Have you access to the neighbouring properties where the rats are in the walls? If not..... Don’t leave yourself liable to getting sued for poisoning neighbours pets without insurance. If you need more proper advice about poisons / rodenticides pm me as what's been written above about rodenticides is wrong Quote Link to post

Telling people it doesn't matter what poison you use just stick it in the hole is a facking stupid thing to say if you can't be bothered to write and think through what your saying on a public forum, then why give any advice at all, for someone that has a link that also points to falconry, I would expect you to be a little more clued up on the subject of secondary poisoning, and not just give out a half thought out reply, ........stick any rodenticide in the hole FFS rats arn't fussy I never claimed to be the oracle of wisdom but my advice was a bit better than your lazy shower of bollocks you bestowed on us eh Here is a link for you Trappa have a read then you may think different about giving crap, un thought out advice because you cant be bothered http://www.robedwards.com/2007/06/sharp_rise_in_b.html Quote Link to post
trappa 518 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 No doubt about it , your advice was much better than mine, i couldnt be bothered to give a full write up so wanted to get the point across that getting the poison down the holes is more important than using stronger stuff, which in turn, has relevance to secondary poisoning, i just couldnt be arsed to go into detail. If we ever meet my friend, we can discuss it face to face. Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,881 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 not every poison causes secondry poisoning as i was meaning difenacoum which is a multi feed but when you are talking something like klerat [brodifacoum] and storm blocks [flucoumafen] which are both no nos for external use then you can say we are talking crap but yes you are true me and trappa should of explained ourselfs better but if the lad buys it freom the shops they should explain how he should use it Quote Link to post
RatSnatcher 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 My point is that far to regularly, I see dimwitted c8nts miss using rodenticides people placing them on bird tables, people spreading warfarin around the garden Pro pesties spend a large amount of money on training, reading and keeping up with best practices, only to see time after time the miss use of the chemicals the un trained can buy of the shelf without reading the label on the product .... Now how would you feel if I said bang a load of petrol down a mole hill that will sort it? Quote Link to post
