Good on you for not using the chemical! 🙂 I noticed a $4.99 humane trap on the shelves you looked in your other video. It’s an ingenious device…and works! Our little mouse was very choosy and only entered the trap on day 2, after I sweetened some (vegan) chocolate. It was happily released, untraumatised from his/her chocolate prison. You have to check the trap every day though…or the poor thing dehydrates to death. A clear conscience is priceless and yours is crystal clear on this one 🙂
I do not yet understand why you have not mentioned non-lethal methods of trapping small rodents. I also don’t understand why you seem to have little concern about the type of rat that you intend to poison. Wood rats (ie pack rats, rodent genus Neotoma) are rather harmless to people, don’t usually spread disease, and are typically not dependent on scavenging human food. They like to build nests and sometimes do so in people’s houses.
I made my 1st comment before watching the video. You appear to be coming to your senses. I refuse to poison any creature that has the misfortune of blundering its way into my place of residence. I have squashed a wayfaring scorpion though that was sitting on the carpet in my bedroom. House centipedes, spiders, earwigs and silverfish are tolerated. Cockroaches are another story since they can spread disease. Luckily they have not been a problem recently.
enlightening, makes me despise all connected with the marijuana hype all the more. I have NOTHING against the plant when grown for personal and basic ethical organic methods (molasses, worm castings, fresh water, sunlight, tender care) but for 20 years the industry has been so filled with douchbags it’s astounding.

Saying ‘thank you’ sounds really patronising, but I my thank you is from the heart, from one Earthling to another.
