Rats!

I found a 3.5 kg packet of my girls’ food empty, and yet it was unopened. I found various holes in the packet, and I suspected it must be the work of rats. A whole packet of dog food eaten by rats!

So I moved all my girls’ food indoors. They followed the food. I have seen about 4 or 5 rats thus far.

I then resorted to rat poison. I did not like the idea of deliberately killing a living being, but it was either that or continue feeding them with dog food which will no doubt contribute to the growth in their population.

I have been feeding them rat poison for the past week and a half. Thus far I have found 1 dead rat, which will no doubt contribute to my karma.

The rest of the rat population in my house continue to consume the rat poison almost on a daily basis without effect.

So it is either that the rat poison is defective which I doubt, or there are mutant rats in my house.
