[T3] Irish Mice

[Dave Hall]

I guess that's Warfarin - developed at University of Wisconsin, ISTR.
Useful to thin our blood too, if there's a risk of clotting, but needs
constant monitoring, or you go the same way as the rodents!

I can't say we get too much trouble with mice in our Type 3s, perhaps
because we have always had a cat or two - and now the remaining one is a bit
old, the neighbouring cats have taken over the duties.  When they fail, a
spring trap baited with a piece of Mars (sticky chocolate bar) usually gets
them!  I had a family over-wintering in the cellar - they chewed into a
polythene bottle of chainsaw oil, and my plumbing joint sealer, as well as
pieces of pipe insulation.

The danger of the poison is that cats and dogs that eat the poison or the
carcasses can also die from it.  It makes them bleed out internally, not a
happy death.
