SupporterI saw this story on Landline about a new very effective bait for pigs using sodium nitrate, it doesn't affect other animals and they put it in traps with magnetic lids, that are easy for pigs to open with their snouts and not so easy for other animals.

SubscriberWell, here you go. I just got a call from my sister, advising that their four, laying, house chooks have died, after scratching around with a dead rat.
I did point out to her hubby that using rodent baits was fraught with the danger of secondary kills.
He placed the baits about three weeks ago, I think.

Relatives near Lismore have had same experience. Dead chooks after mice and rats died from poison.

The real question is what type of rat poison............. my money would be on brodifacoum or brodialone.Originally Posted by Saitch

It't be handy to know.

SubscriberYes, good point. I'll find out. Is it OK to put a Brand Name up? I mean it's good advertising, in a way, as it shows its efficacy.

The ingredient would suffice. There many brands using the same ingredients with roughly the same concentration.Yes, good point. I'll find out. Is it OK to put a Brand Name up? I mean it's good advertising, in a way, as it shows its efficacy.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

The packet the baits came in are long gone but the B-I-L remembers the poison being 'Bro' something. He has since been given advice by a vet about a non-residual bait, the name of which escapes him at the moment. He's out doing rural firey stuff at the moment.

On the face of it the dead rat the chickens ate contained enough Brodi whatever to kill four of them.On that note, I suppose I could say that I have seen a bit of culture in a D2, after all.

If it was brodifacoum a rat carcass would still contain half the amount of it after 100+ days.

SupporterProduct names can be confusing as "Mouseoff" comes in 2 types, the Bromadiolane and zinc phosphate, denoted as "Mouseoff ZP"Yes, good point. I'll find out. Is it OK to put a Brand Name up? I mean it's good advertising, in a way, as it shows its efficacy.

What happens to the mice?
Most mice die underground. This can be confirmed by excavating holes to find carcasses or by rechecking burrow activity after baiting. Birds and other scavengers quickly take the few mice that do die on the surface so few dead mice are seen. The dead mice are not toxic to scavengers.
