Poi soned bait or water is the most used means for killing rats. Red! squill, safest of all rats poisons, has been used over a long period of time. It brings about temporary reductions in the number of rats in an area, but bait shyness is de veloped by rats after receiving a dose too small to kill. Warfarin is comparatively safe and highly recommended for its effectiveness. 'This poison is odorless and taste- j less to both rats and men.
