Do Shop Bought Rat Poisons Work?

Rats are a real pain. I've used poison, an air rifle, a mate's useless dog🙄

My electric fences seem to be the only thing that's had success but I'm guessing that won't work in your situation. 

I still look into other methods to keep rats at bay and one thing that is apparently very good is catnip so I'm growing some and I'm going to try that too. 

Guns, dogs, electric fences, where do you live, San Quentin. :hihi:

I am more likely to take notice of your experience, TBH I am a bit cynical about product reviews generally !

You’ll get different opinions from  different people. They don’t always work, but I’ve had success with them in enclosed spaces including a cellar and a garage.

 

I was more suggesting that you use the reviews to choose between different products, rather than using them to decide whether to buy one at all.

 

One of the problems with ultrasound is that you can’t hear it, so you don’t know how loud the repeller is, or even if it is working.  I think that’s where the reviews might help.

 

Anyway, good luck with getting rid of the effin things.

A good old fashioned rat trap baited with chocolate,  you'll catch one every night.

I don't like the buggars, but I'm not sure I could come in to find a dead rat in the trap, even worse if it was only injured.
