We have ongoing evidence of rats in our back garden and we want to lay poison.
We've already put poison in a "live trap" under the deck - this is a cage thing they're supposed to go into but can't get out of - they don't seem to be going into it though so we'd like to put poison somewhere thats easier for them to get at.
We have small kids though so I'm just wondering, if we just put the poison in a bowl under the deck, is there a chance the ratties could take it out from under there and leave some lying around the garden for our kids to find? Any other suggestions?
BTW I know theres a good chance they will die under the deck and stink the place out but I don't really care, just want to be rid of them.
