    We can’t get the rat poison we have always bought,  have to go on a course now, but we found this one is working well.

    Thanks @Lyn, I think I bought that one and several others last year but the blighters won't even enter the box and try it!

    Kills rats and mice. And hedgehogs, voles, squirrels, cats, dogs and small children. Be careful please.

    Those other animals and birds will never get to the poison,  what do you think we are?

    No insult intended, I'm sure you're careful. I just have difficulty imagining a trap where rats and mice can access the poison, but voles can't.

    It's difficult to imagine children, hedgehogs, cats or dogs, no matter how small, getting into traps for mice and rats.  Grey squirrels are classed as vermin anyway.

    I wish there was a grey squirrel poison.

    It's been a noisy day today. I thought I heard the cuckoo this morning but the sparrows were conducting full-scale warfare in the bushes and the building site next door was having deliveries so I couldn't be sure. I went outside several times during the day and it was always too noisy to hear anything. Planes going over, recycling being collected, small children biting my ankles... It wasn't until about 6pm that everything shut up for five minutes and I managed to hear it properly. But anyway the cuckoo is back and spring is finally here B)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
