Rat poison...I saw a few mice in the Chicken coup...I bought some Decon Rat/Mice poison...I need to place it around, but not in the coup... Any Suggestions?...Or Advice?
You have to be very careful with poison as the chickens will get into it. I would use the sticky traps or some critter friendly trap that won't hurt the chickens
I use a bait box. It is just a box turned upside down, with a couple 1-2 inch holes cut into it. Nail some nails in a board, stick the poison on the nails, and put that board underneath the over turned box. That way, the chickens cant get into the poison.
Bait boxes work good. A box with a way in it for a rat or mice to get in, but nothing else. ETA: Sundown beat me to it.
Quote:Sticky traps are nasty. A couple years ago, my rir rooster got stuck in a sticky trap. Luckly it was cold out, so it was sort of easy to get him out. If it was a warm day, there would have been no way to get him unstuck.
My "Shop" is beside where I keep the chickens and a few stalls on the other...That's where I'm going to place the bait...So, there's no way they can get into it... Comments, Please.....
