Lost a pet dog that ate a mouse killed when my sister set out a warfarin bait. It was gruesome. Please, please think very carefully when using poisons. Secondar

  And warn neighbors at least if putting out poisons for anything. It only takes 5 minutes to give them a heads up about the situation, what to look for (mouse carcass) and what signs if their pet happens to eat the animal and receives some of the poison itself. Though many modern poisons are less toxic to animals that eat the poisoned animal, it can still harm them.

    Not when the neighbours themselves are hell-bent on killing off animals because they're just sick humans. Happened to me in London when a neighbour laced bait meat contaminated with rat poison for a bunch of strays that frequented our streets.

      Are you responding to my comment? Because I can't figure out what the hell yours has to do with mine unless you completely lack common sense. Yes, everyone knows you don't tell sick people that enjoy poisoning animals where the poison is. But don't be a dick, do tell your normal neighbors (the vast majority unless you're extremely unlucky) so their pets aren't harmed or can receive prompt treatment.

  There was a guy in the sauna a few years ago bragging about how he had killed a ton of rats in his yards using poison. He said "the hawks love it they are feasting!". 0 ability to connect the full consequences of adding a bunch of poison to an ecosystem.
