    How long will it take for the pecking order to be re-established?

    I have three cats and two dogs. Can I use rat poison?

    About an hour ago I went out to check on my ladies and encountered a rat on our back porch. This was my fault as I neglected to put the black oil sunflower seeds away last night after filling the wild bird feeders. Now I am mega paranoid!
