Dear Richard,
On the one hand, I was trying to be a bit cute; however, animal pests
are sometimes dealt with best by violence.
When you hit a briquette with an air rifle you have acceptable
collateral damage. Naturally, you should aim to hit the rodents.
I think you'll have cost effectiveness problems with the steel wool method.
If someone in a given area became proficient with the methodology and
tools necessary the sniping alternative might turn out to be something
that is generally good for the community, especially in view of the fast
population growth of rat infestations.
For those who not offended by hunting rodent pests.

the effectiveness is a good arguing point.

Ronald,
Cute but you know what happens to a briquette when you hit it with an
air rifle…Much less the implications o the project in a post war
setting such s northern Guatemala…

A good air rifle with a night scope and a watchman who can shoot will
do wonders.
probably not to practicable, but there are guys in GB who de-infest ag
buildings of rats and pigeons using this method.
They're pretty smart so after a while they won't show up.

Hi all,
My own suggestions are put wire wool in the briquettes a small
amount, as I know the rats will not try to get through that if, used
to plug a hole in the hidden corners of the house. other suggestion
hanging them on a wire ( as we saw in Huehe / Sta Eulalia or
changing the blend to something rats do not like to eat, which is
either neutral or still combustible and in either case does not emit
noxious smoke or gasses at elevated temperature. These are just my
ideas.I have not ever tested them myself.
So for anybody with similar experience, what was/is your solution?
Please send to Gustavo Molina ccyd below directly and ccy to the
rest of us.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Richard,
We are having some problems here. Rats are eating our eco-leñas. We
are figuring what to do. Rats are always so tricky to handle. Have
you heard of clever solutions world wide?
