These are one of the most common causes of pet poisonings. Most rat and mouse bait products contain anti-coagulants that kill animals by causing uncontrolled bleeding. All rodent poison products should be used with extreme caution. They are designed to be attractive to animals, so attempts to prevent your pets from accessing baits by placing them in hard to reach places are often unsuccessful. Alternative methods should be considered first.

If you must use rodenticides or insecticides, keep the packets safely locked up and only use them in areas of your property that are inaccessible to your pets.

If you suspect your pet has ingested a rodent poison or eaten a poisoned rodent,  immediately seek veterinary attention.
