ri702bill 8,316 #3 Posted December 9, 2022 Living here only about 7 miles (as the Skyrat files!!) to the salt water - seagulls can be a brazen nuisance. Forget eating your lunch in the parking lot of a Fast Food joint with your windows down... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is a support chicken that keep as a pet then you might get away with a slap on the wrist, wing? 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WheelHorse_of_course 99 #10 Posted December 10, 2022 Rat's cannot vomit. For this reason, they are very bait shy. They will try a very small amount of something. If they feel any bad effects they will not touch the same food for life. AFAIK this isn't the case for mice. So they need to be killed by the first dose or that particular brand isn't going to kill the rat in question. So, with rats you have to rotate the poison bait. Back when I had rats I went to the farm store I bought 4-5 (maybe even 6) different kinds. I put out the first two kinds and later rotated in others. For mice there is also several newer poisons that are less toxic to human (accidental poisonings are an increasing problem). One uses Vitamin D which rodents apparently cannot metabolize. Another uses corn gluten. And ISTR there's at least one other. These require regular consumption for a period of days, maybe longer. The key is to keep restocking them until all the rodents are gone. It is amazing the wide variety of things one must learn as a farmer (and I was only a farmer for 10 years). Equipment repair, rodent control, soil testing, etc etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse_of_course 99 #12 Posted December 10, 2022 So when your 6 year old burps constantly and mother complains, the response should be "but it is adaptive". Good to know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
