Well we have our local authority pest control coming round on Friday to deal with the ongoing mouse problem in our road (the reason we got a cat in the first place
).
We have to allow them access, or we will be in breach of our lease, and possibly the law also (environmental health act) if we deny them access.
I have phoned the pest control department, and they have told me that they will be using a poison called Sorexa D, and that a very large amount would have to be ingested for it to be toxic to a cat, dog, or small child. A cat would have to eat its own bodyweight in dead poisoned mice in order to suffer any ill effects.
I was just wondering if other people had any knowledge or experience to back this up.
I have to allow them to put down the bait but *ahem* I am sure no-one will ever find out if I remove it and store it in a sealed container in a locked cupboard until a few minutes before the follow-up visit
(and destroy the container afterwards of course)
