"Safe" non-cumulative poison?
We have two cats, once of which is an "excellent" mouser. I write
"excellent" because, while he is great at catching them, he is terrible at killing them. He brought in a pregnant female field mouse from outside, and then lost her, and now we have a mouse problem. The last time we had a mouse problem (this was before we had our mouser), nothing worked for weeks until I turned to poison. I laid poison everywhe The ceiling, inside the crawlspace walls, under the sink cabinets, and it completely took care of the problem in a few days. My fear is that, if I lay out poison again, the cat will catch and chomp on a diseased mouse and may die. I read somewhere that there are "safe" poisons that are "non-cumulative" and won't hurt the cat even if he completely eats a mouse killed via the poison. Is this true? If so, what is a "safe" poison I can use? How have others dealt with this problem? Trapping is *not* an option; we are overrun (they are coming out during the day, which is a sign that you have a full-blown infestation). Any and all advice and comments are welcome! |

"Safe" non-cumulative poison?
Your safest bet might be to call in a professional, and if necessary
board the cats with friends or family for a time. BTW--that "if" is a key qualifier, because a professional might be able to offer the safe option you are looking for--in addition to a guarantee of service. Doing it on your own comes with risks of incomplete efforts along with those to your felines. Best of luck! |
