We had a plotholder doing that a couple of years ago... my understanding of placing rat poison in pipes etc is top stop others eating the poison or the rat...
???

I believe it can, unfortunately, as the poisons they use now are apparently persistent. There is a safe poison you can get, but I haven't tried it. Foxes live a pretty marginal existence with a life expectancy of just over a year, so they have a pretty high mortality rate, and whatever happens, the odd dead one is going to turn up.

Usually on my drive to work... rarely get through a week without at least one!

We have mice in garage, so set 2 traps and they were so light they kept eating the food and not setting off the trap, bought an electrocution trap and 100% every time and don`t have to keep replacing peanut butter!

When green light flashes it has made a kill. Open lid, tip out, close lid and switch on again for the next one, got 8 in 8 days. then nothing.

Alas then 2 in 5 mins! Hope thats the last as they chewed through spud sack and ate LOADS of spuds we grew >:(

They work by mouse wiggling in hols and around a few bits to metal plate, when they touch 2nd plate by food then zap, dead in a second.

Got them online Primrose London. 4 duracell kills 50.

I found bits of bee comb scattered all over my shed today where I left a piece lying. Careless of me. I'm out of rat poison, but nothing else makes that much mess so I need some ASAP before it does something serious.
