Does rat poison mummify rats or make them thirsty so they go outside to die and wont cause odor problems?
There are pest control companies that will tell you these false statements. The truth is there is NO such rodenticide. If you allow the use of rodent baits you can rest assured that they will die in areas where they normally frequent: their nesting site, your attic or walls; their food source, your bird feeder; or in between. If you chose poisoning over trapping and exclusion because of cost, you may end up paying a wildlife controller to remove a dead rat from your home, usually, by cutting walls open.
