I have heard that rats digestive systems can't deal with a living yeast culture.  

Rather than being killed in the digestive system of rats, it continues to grow and produce carbon dioxide until the rats stomach and intestines rupture.

Have not tried it, but if you have a rat problem, you might want to try treating some bait with a yeast culture and see how it goes.


Edit:  did a web search and found nothing that verifies the use of yeast, so it  might be just a legend.

Somehow I doubt that. They eat anything and if that were true every bakery/restaurant would be a rat free zone. And we know that's not the case.

Solus, I've heard that applies to seagulls aka searats.

I think I've removed anything they could eat or use as a condo.  We'll see.  But just in case I'm going to order my new sights for the old 511P and get the stock refinished so it can be pressed into service if need be.  Just need to get some CB caps or a suppressor.   ;D

And that is their fatal flaw.  No wonder they're going extinct.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.
