It is interest man has been trying to get rid of mice, rats and cocker roaches. Like forever.
Here in Florida we got rid of cockeroaches by naming them water bugs.

Someone suggested doretos as bait. Only in the villages do the rats prefer a branded product. Might be interesting to see if the generic brand works as well? TV ads our no name corn chips out perform the name brand in rat traps.

Far as I know we do not have any rats or mice. Based on past experience. Peanut butter works best.

The poison is warfarin. Same chemical used as a blood thinner in humans. It works because rats and mice cannot throw up. It causes them to bleed internally and die.
That is why they seek water-loss of body fluids. I don't think it will kill birds of prey. They will simply throw up the poisoned rodent

Not very kind? Glue traps are not kind either.
