Reminder to please, please, please skip outdoor rodenticide when handling rodent infestations.
(image id: a picture of a black bait box for mouse poison, with the title text "looking for a fun and free activity this summer? give destroying these stupid-ass bait boxes a try!" it then elaborates to say "you might see these boxes around commercial buildings, apartments, or occasionally private residences. most people dont want mice or rats in their buildings- so what's the big deal?
placing poison bait outside means you're incapable of targeting a specific species. If you place bait boxes outside, you run the risk of poisoning outdoor friends like native mice, voles, and chipmunks. Additionally, animals dont die immediately after ingesting rat poison- meaning that predators like hawks frequently suffer from rodentcide poisoning, along with unlucky domestic pets like dogs and cats.
if you have a rat or mouse problem, please handle it responsibly and dont put your native wildlife at risk." end id)
