Suddenly the rat poison I put in my Rhino shelter is disappearing. A
couple of times I've seen some missing and then sick mice crawling
around then it stops. Now I go through a box every night. Every day I
put out a new box and the next morning it's all gone. What is eating all
my rat poison? This could get expensive.

Is it the pellets or the blocks? I used the pellet type once in my shed
& the mice took & stashed the crap in the tractor air cleaner, in flower
pots, behind shop rags, etc.

I switched to the bars & since they can't move them easily they have to
eat them on the spot.

If it's Warfarin, it doesn't kill right away. Maybe several days.

Or generations.

I forget which.

They don't use warfarin any more as pests have developed immunity but
they do use a similar blood thinner and it takes a few feedings before
it takes effect.

By any chance, is your wife p-ssed at you? I'd eat out for awhile.

They aren't eating it- they are grinding it up and spreading it around
your kitchen and garden.

I only found out I had mice, when the ant traps started disappearing.

They must be getting sick, they only ate half a box last night.

I've found it tastes particularly good as an ice cream topping. The kids like
the turquise color.

Some creature(s) are making a stash of warfarin, an anticoagulant!

I'm an RN so I know these things!
