Rats in the hay

[Widgeon]

To use this bait you have to have completed a recognised course. It works by causing hypothermia in the target species, hence not being a danger to wildlife. This is now the only bait allowed in outside spaces.

Yes, I do remember that was the reason why we had to have the professional coming back so often. We couldn't access or handle it, it had to be him because he was qualified. Still well worth it though. TBH when it comes to poison of any kind I'd always prefer to have a professional in anyway. Our bait boxes were partly inside and partly outside, so we could've used cheaper bait inside, but it's not really worth the risk is it.

ETA yes hypothermia rings a bell. I'd forgotten that.

Apparently the RSPCA are now arguing for rats to be included as ‘wildlife’ and celebrated proudly on the new banknotes….just saying.
And why not feature well known, historical villains as part of the great British tradition, too?

If you have already done the poisons certificate, it’s about another £180 to update atm.
