Rats and Mice = smooth peanut butter.

Bait them with chocolate and set them "tickle"
H. sapiens harbour all sorts of poisons in small doses e.g.. neonicotinoids, dioxins etc.
One juicy warfarin-loaded rat fed to a clutch of hungry hatchlings? I think you need to find a better excuse, maybe?
I find myself in a difficult position. We live in a thatched cottage and three years ago had to re-thatch @ £30k because of numerous rat holes in the thatch.
We hear pitter-patter of tiny feet as we lie in bed (mercifully not bipeds - been there, done that). Ergo, I regularly put rodenticides in the loft. My bee shed is in the garden and despite efforts is not mouse proof so I have a saucer of poison on the floor - actually (unlike the loft) hardly any has been taken. Our cat regularly catches mice and the occasional rat and I have never worried that it might be poisoned.
However I am saddened by the vulture story.
I did have mice in the garage last year (which is a bit too close to the house for comfort) and I caught three of them in one of these humane traps baited with cheese and chocolate.
Excellent idea! once a day you can go around shaking al the captives into a cosy hesian sack...........
Then club the beggars to a pulp with a handy piece of 4x4" !!!!!!!!
using a 4 x 4 is a bit excessive, IMO
