Different things happen when rats eat poisoned bait. This can depend on the amount that is eaten, where it is eaten, and the type of poison that is used to poison rats. Rodenticides are made to be very attractive to rats and cannot stay away from them. Due to their potency, these baits can be multi-feed because when a non-target species eats from it, it can pass away or can get severely ill. Under the right circumstances, rats can even die within one die but it depends on how eager and how willing they are to consume the poison.
If you have a rat infestation, do not hesitate to contact the licensed and insured exterminators from Rat Control.
There are different types of poisoned baits available like there are grains, bait blocks, and rat killer bats. The best way to have these poisoned baits deployed is with the help of tamper-proof bait stations. These tamper-proof bait stations are hard to get through for kids and animals. Technicians make sure to place these tamper-proof bait boxes away from the eyes of animals and children.
Some things can happen to rats when they eat from the poisoned bait, and these can include and are not limited to
• Dehydration
• Internal Bleeding
• Central Nervous Failure
• Lung Failure
Most rat poisons can fall into three broad categories, and these are anticoagulants, metal phosphides, and hypercalcemia.
Anti-Coagulants
The goal of using anti-coagulants is to block the production of vitamin K to make blood clots. The effects f these anti-coagulants are very gradual, and most rats can die within a few days. These rats can die of hemorrhage and ammonia and can even lead to internal bleeding as well leading to a slow and sure death.
Hypercalcemia
As the name might already suggest. This type of poison might lead to an overproduction of calcium and this is how the rat gets killed. The calcium levels get so high that it causes calcification or hardening of the lungs which makes it hard to make the lungs expand. Which in turn makes it very hard to breathe. Not only does it lead to lung calcification, but also the blood vessels, kidneys, and stomach wall.
Metal phosphides
Metal phosphides are a very popular alternative against those rats who might have built up resistance to anticoagulants. These anti-coagulants are way cheaper than anti-coagulants and for this reason, are a very good alternative. These poisons are very quick-acting and attack vital organs and the central nervous systems within a few hours. The metals that are used in the poisons are zinc, magnesium, and aluminum.
