A bag of plaster from the builders merchant , take a couple of tablespoons out and mix with some milled grain as bait, as they ingest the bait the plaster sets hard it their guts and kills them with terminal constipation , this really works well without having poisoned corpses laying about for other animals to pick up.

Womble - my friend told me about this method. She needs to get rid of them ..... her 3 cats aren't controlling them ...... so she was researching methods on the net. I thought it sounded pretty awful but she said that it seemed a quick end.  ???  She was trying to find the most humane way of dealing with them.


Wouldn't other critters eat the grain?

Place the bait in a drain pipe or haylage wrap tube to stop chickens etc eating the bait, place the tube against a wall, they always hug walls
