Here again we're talking about the action of warfarin. You must eat it on a continuous basis - as in repeatedly, over the course of a few days before it does the job, as it inhibits the bloods ability to clot. Vitamin K is the antidote for high level warfarin poisoning, if there is a...

I'd have to disagree with you about the effectiveness of this type of poison for rats and the length of kill. Within two days of placing OneBite in my cellar, I see dead rats. It is very effective for rats and can even kill a dog just as quickly, depending on the amount ingested...

This is not the time of year for this to be of any use to you at all, but when I had my farm I tried to encourage snakes, black and corn specifically. I don't know if you're to far north for that or not, plus of course they're all hibernating now. But, in the spring you might tell your friends...
