ratties raised as pets are different than ratties who are being vermin and spreading diseases. taking out a set of sheets and finding that a rat has made their nest in the drawer and there are huge holes in the bedding?

not so good. rough on rats solved the problem. (mouse droppings are smaller than rat droppings. and this was safer than setting rat traps, which will take off a finger if they go off on you.)

I've seen this brand of rat poison used many times on Discovery ID's "Deadly Women". They should have named it Rough on Husbands

It is. 'Rough on Rats' has been used many many times for murder.

It's in several prominent trial transcripts.
