DIY Danger-Zone: DIY Rodent Poisons Put Pets and Kids at Risk

Rodents in your home can be a nightmare, but when it comes to tackling the problem yourself, some solutions can create more harm than good. DIY rodent poisons might promise an easy fix, but they come with hidden dangers—especially if you have pets or children.


The Risks of DIY Rodent Poisons

  1. Accidental Ingestion by Pets or Kids
    Most rodent poisons are designed to be enticing, not just to rodents but to curious pets and children as well. Even small amounts of these toxic substances can lead to serious health issues, emergency vet visits, or worse.

  2. Hidden Rodent Remains
    When rodents ingest poison, they often retreat to hidden spaces to die. This can lead to unpleasant odors, difficult-to-reach carcasses, and even secondary infestations of flies or other pests.

  3. Ineffective Results
    DIY rodent poisons often fail to address the root of the problem: entry points and nesting areas. Without sealing access points or removing attractants, the rodents will return, rendering your efforts (and money) wasted.
