How to Poison Rats Witihout Poisoning a Dog

By Home & Garden Last updated Friday, June/07/2024

1). Minimize the time you must leash or confine your dog by using bromethalin, a single-dose neurotoxin that usually kills rodents within 24 to 36 hours of consumption.
2). Calculate the lethal dose for your dog, and adjust the amount of bait you drop accordingly. The minimum lethal dose of bromethalic bait for a dog is 25 grams per kilogram of body weight, meaning that a 5 kg dog would have to consume five to six packages of bait to reach toxic levels.
3). Monitor your dog carefully if you have recently set out rat poison.

If you suspect your dog may have ingested poison--symptoms include muscle tremors, excitability, running fits and seizures--induce vomiting immediately, before the poison is absorbed.
