Frontbum 76 Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I had a bit of this problem with the rat not going over the trigger plate, so I got a piece of roof slate rested on the plate as a ramp so that as soon as the rat was in the trap one foot on the slate and rat was caught, covered slate with fibreglass.

wilbur foxhound 480 Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 one of my mates labs swallowed 1 poisoned rat and nearly died,so don't think it takes a lot of poison to kill a dog,and remember poison should always be a last resort,put a fen trap in front of youre cage trap so it will have to climb over it to get to the food,wf Quote Link to post

It takes a huge amount of rodenticide bait to kill a dog, and a vast amount of dead rats. Unless the rat had been baited with something like Zinc Phosphide, which was withdrawn in 2006. Part of the problem is that vets are over cautious and prescribe Vitamin K treatments to make money at the first sign of any potential poisoning. Quote Link to post

If this dog had an issue with eating a dead rat I suspect he caught a disease, it didn't poison him! Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 secondary poisoning of dogs is an urban myth with today's modern rodenticides, as for rats in the attic, killing them is only half the story, food source and access would be at the front of my mind. Quote Link to post
wilbur foxhound 480 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 do you guys think the rat was possibly carrying some sort of desease,before it eat the poison,wf Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) do you guys think the rat was possibly carrying some sort of desease,before it eat the poison,wf A rat carrying a disease...never heard of anything so preposterous! How about Weil’s disease, Salmonella, Tuberculosis, Cryptosporidiosis, E.Coli, Foot and mouth disease, etc, then there was a scurrilous rumour about the Plague as well.

Alsone 789 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 If you're having problems with wary rats, then have you thought of using an electronic trap instead such as this: http://www.screwfix.com/p/procter-electronic-rat-killer/76836?kpid=76836&cm_mmc=Google-_-Product%20Listing%20Ads-_-Sales%20Tracking-_-sales%20tracking%20url&gclid=CI-ik4DM6bwCFQkUwwod16oA6Q The point with these is if a rat has become wary of traps, then this uses a different method - electrified plates rather than a trigger plate so they won't have seen this before. Also, I believe you can put the bait in the back beyond the plates so the rat has no choice but to cross the plates to get the food. Quote Link to post
