    Did a bit of rat bait research,and found some that has active constituents, sodium chloride and corn gluten meal.

    They sell it at the Bunnings.

    It is more expensive than the others,but wont harm the wildlife we have around here.And is supposed to be just as good at killing the rodent.
    It wont harm anything else,even if eaten.

    More on Google for those interested.

    The missus has made up a concoction out of plain flour, bicarb and sugar that seems to work OK.
    Apparently a mouse can't fart and the bicarb buggers them up.

    Rodents can't regurgitate.

    My sister was watching an old school slow stubble burn last week north of the divide.

    There were about 40 kites having a great time picking off the mice ahead of the ash. We need more birds like this.

    Similar principle to our kitchen rubbish bin with the swinging lid idea, little buggers have no way out

    Too many moving parts.

    A longneck with the bait on the end hanging over the bucket works even better. The tape holding the bottle to the bucket acts as grip initially.

    Triple your catch with a ladder so they can get on the bottle.

    cheers, DL
