📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. I can burp with the best of them if given a carbonated drink. As the old saying goes, "That was well brought up. Why weren't you?" Most real hardware stores carry arsenic — but it is pretty lethal—- it’s actually a harsh blood thinner (anticoagulant) and will cause them to bleed out, not really a pretty sight, but then an exploding rat might be worse :calvin I wouldn’t know where to find arsenic … and I would be afraid to use that because of my dog. I get nervous when using the Miracle Gro flower fertilizer (blue powder) … I’m careful not to spill the liquid out of the watering can … plus he actually LOVES to smell the flowers :wacko: So I’m extra careful not to bring him near the plants I just fertilized. I just learned baking soda will do the trick as well to kill the rodents. So I sprinkled some in that same disposable cup and left it outside. TR - it is a learned art :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Practice makes burpfeck :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: Neither can seagulls! Never throw Aka-seltzer in the air on the beach. The sea-gulls will eat them and then they will die for the same reason the rat will. I hate rats, so I’m ok with this form of death, arsenic also works, just make sure you don’t have little kids or your pets around. :calvin
