Rat Poison: The Health Risks

Rodenticide — rat poison — is a hidden danger on many properties. While a common misperception is that rat poison can be safely hidden away only in places where mice and pests area causing issues, the very presence of rat poison [can cause hospitalization or even death][1].

Rat poison often comes in the form of capsules or balls to be laid around your property. The State of California’s website warns that pets occasionally decide to eat these poisonous capsules. I’ve heard this story from my clients more times than I’m comfortable with — it needs to stop.

Barn Owl Boxes are Safe!

Barn owls, on the other hand, are completely safe. There isn’t a *single* reported incident of a barn owl attacking a human. They hunt rodents, their natural food source. Why risk putting you, your children, or your pets in danger with poisonous rat poison when you can use a much safer and more cost-effective method by getting a few barn owls?
