Default Rats in the ceiling - repelling?
In article .com,
says...
Poison is not the most effective. Rats and mice will both gather
poison bait and horde it. You may think that since all the poison is
gone that the problem is solved, but its not. It could be quite some
time before the poison is actually eaten. Also - most poison is an
anti-coagulant. This means that the rodent will "bleed-out". However,
the antidote is vitamin-k... which is very high in dog food.



In my experience, baits are surely the most effective... to keep from
rodents gathering the baits, use blocks that are secured down rather
than "pellets" that can be easily moved. The vitamin K in dog foods is
a different form of what is used for the rodenticides antidote...so
puppy can have a shiny coat and have no fear of saving unwanted rodent
pests.
