The idea is that it will harden in their bodies before they can expel it. I have also heard of using Moth Balls as they do not like the smell. Also...have heard of using cayenne pepper. They wash their hands and feet and it burns them. Good Luck To rid of Rats, try mixing plaster of paris with peanut butter and oil to make it creamy.

Sam- a 14-year old codger mind you- is unclear of my intent and leads my around to the south yard and invokes his ring of invisibility. Investigating, I find that one of my foundation vent screens has been neatly folded down on its diagonal, within the last month. This is a problem. The hole is large enough for an opossum, not an unlikely suspect. I have NO wish to have Pogo, or worse, Sam, die under my house. (The snake, by the way, was last seen in the garage and went home sadder, I presume wiser, and unhurt.) Thus I think major traps or poison gas are a bad idea. Object: all non-rent payers out, THEN nail the vent shut. Suggestions? First idea is to spread a bunch of flour and look for tracks to know what I'm dealing with. Second idea: Play "Victory At Sea" down there for a few days. Or AM news channel. Mike and all: antifreeze, along with Aspirin and 298 others, is a very effective CAT poison: they love the taste, lap it up and die. As wrong a way to go as I can think of.

You can google it...it's sold nationally.

Twas random chance I returned to the kitchen in 5 minutes, not 30, after lighting a cigarette off the stove, or I'd be out at least one room of my house. What didn't work: poor choice of a biped room-mate. She had been living in a tent for months, came with a dog {Basenji/Lab mix}. Thus feces, fleas, even maggots. When's the last time you saw a maggot? A full 11 months of court eviction process to remove the biped in handcuffs. (Dog left to Animal Control 1/2 hour later and went to a good competent home.) More sloppy housekeeping on my part. What did work: 1. Sam de Cat. 12?16? yrs old, he's not saying. Good for a few a week. 2. The classic BIG Victor brand snap trap, also good for a few a week. WARNING: RAT TRAPS ARE ALSO CAT TRAPS. THE TRAP MUST BE INACCESSIBLE TO THE CAT, AND CATS ARE CRAFTY, SMART AND CURIOUS. The problem reduced, but did not leave. The varmints chewed neat handy pour spouts into both my sealed plastic containers. 3. FINALLY realizing cat food is rat food, I moved the weekly supply to a seven foot high shelf without easy access, the 20 pound monthly supply to top pantry shelf. The paper bag sufficed, but metal is a better idea. Sam defended the daily supply at floor level. MY POINT: Isolation of the CAT food solved the problem. continued: predictable and very ugly and painful results.
