Let me start by saying.... I absolutely hate rats. Put me in a pen with a rabid lion and i'll have a go. Put me in one with a rat and i'll run a mile.
We have a large polytunnel which has an equally large netted run on one end that is used as the chicken run. We have recently noticed a hole has been dug between the 2 and decided to put some rat poison down. This poison is blue in colour and in wheel shaped blocks. On the first day we put 2 bocks down and in the morning they were both gone. Next day we put 3 blocks down and went back to our country store to buy more blocks. After about 5 days and many blocks later there seemed to be a lull but now THEIR BACK....
This time the blocks of rat poison have not only disappeared but there are BLUE rat droppings in the polytunnel.!!!
Does anybody know of a guaranteed make of rat poison that i can try and source.
Another thought we had was that maybe the rats were taking the poison blocks back to their nest which was not a problem but then again we thought what if they left blocks under shrubs in the garden. Our chooks then might come across them and god only knows what would happen. I do have to say that since we had this thought we place the blocks in a special rat poison box we have purchased.
Sorry to ramble on but they really are awful creatures and i desperately want to get rid of them as soon as possible.
