Incineration, bagged and sent to your fallen stock facility, burried 6ft deep or put in the domestic waste bin where all options my recent inspection considered acceptable.....

Sat on pump tractor yesterday, massive rat ran across the yard with cat in pursuit. Rat made a failed attempt to climb the wall, cat got it, job done. That’s the first live rat I’ve seen in years and the reason I have 6 semi feral cats. Haven’t used poison for years as last time I did, put some of them teabag type things down a hole and covered it. Rats dug a new hole overnight ten yards away and out came there bag of poison, I walked round the corner just in time to see the dog swallows it ?‍♂️One vet visit later, vowed never to put bait down again.

Those teabags have nearly buggered many dogs..,,,lift piece of tin and the dog runs in and snaffles it kind of thing......

If you have dogs, those yummy blue peanut butter based bags are the worst thing to be chucking around.
