I tried two different poisons, but ended using the pelletized stuff. I would wrap it in cling wrap (making little pouches of it) and they would literally almost run up and grab it from me. I had the last laugh, though.
If I have to do this....what about my dogs and the neighborhood cats? My dogs would love to eat a dead rat. I worry about secondary poisoning
