I'm sick of it, I'm going to dismantle tiles or cut out the false ceiling, and slap this rat death
Need to sleep, otherwise i'll lose the middle ground of my emotions : Cheesy:

They cannot be permanently in false ceilings since they have to come out from time to time to drink; So why not put near a plate containing water placed in a strategic place in the attic with swabs or other chemically safe traps for carnivores?
It is better than causing the death of all cats in the area (think of the grief of your neighbors ....).

An idea if you are exasperated: dislodge them by smoking the partition: I do not know the smoking techniques but there must be something: carbon dioxide cartridge or tear gas (stay away from the area for a few days ) or something that stinks but is not dangerous for humans (ammonia? it's organic).

Another idea: wall / plug all the interstices that lead to this false ceiling and they will die on the spot, of thirst (without their corpses smelling bad because they will be dried up).

Small precision I have a cat which hunts at the house, it brought back mice to me during the period or I poisoned my roof spaces. This cat is still there and is doing very well. On the other hand, I found corpses of mice in my attic (it is not there that they access the polystyrene of the partitions.).

As for tracking their crossing point, in my case, it is anywhere through the roof: / they climb on the plaster and insinuate themselves under the tiles. Then for the smoking, I can see the same head when at bedtime it will smell of smoke everywhere in the rooms ...

Well, you're not scared for your cat; perhaps he kills them but does not eat them; I have several and I would be afraid of using rat death; I once saw a dog go to my veterinarian who had a generalized internal hemorrhage because of anticoagulants and I remember that he did not manage to save him: he had all the internal mucous membranes which was bleeding: the mouth , the interior of the nostrils, the anus, etc ...

You are lucky and maybe this cat does not eat its prey. Our Leo came back one morning after a night of hunting, vomiting, moaning and started to vomit a little blood ... surely rat rat but fortunately in small quantities. Some meds, 2 days of convalescence and thank God our tomcat is still with us and he continues (with his little sister) to re-enter the area: no rodents inside for 2 years : Cheesy:

No one has talked about ferrets. They are small tame carnivores.

I had a couple of these lovely critters at home, and no worries about rats or mice. With the arrival of my daughter I separated from it for safety reasons for her and since then I had to use rat death in my garage, under the kitchen units, in the technical sheath and under the sofa to prevent nibblers to crack down.

The ferret is in fact a domesticated ferret which gives off a musky odor (it is recommended to wash it regularly or to operate it to remove the anal glands) not necessarily unpleasant (there is musk in many perfumes) but which makes flee from all rodents.

In addition, it has an intermediate character between the dog and the cat, is easily transportable (my partner and I had ours in our jackets when riding on a motorcycle), stand up. They eat cat food and cook in a litter box. We can walk them on a leash like dogs. They are vaccinated like dogs (rabies, disease of square) with a flat, they are sensitive to influenza and can die from it (they use it in the pharmaceutical laboratories for the flu besides).

By cons with children you have to be careful. The ferret can, if it is too annoyed by a toddler, release a smelly puff causing the escape from the house of bipeds.
Second, the most dangerous pawn is that when it bites, it does not let go of its prey. So if a kid is bitten, the ferret will not let go and it will be necessary to stub the beast so that it opens its jaws ...

Finally, the tapered shape and flexibility of the ferret allows it to sneak through small openings to track down its prey, while a cat will not pass.

So if your children are over 10, you can buy a 'gougou' (nickname from the noise they make) which will play with you, cats, dogs and chase your mice and rats.

Last point, shout like a polecat ... This expression is very real. Thumb-sized baby ferrets have a very powerful voice for their size. One day when I got back to my apartment, I opened the door of the building and I heard the screams of Pastis (albino ferret) who my partner was washing in the bathroom sink when he didn't want to. You could believe that we were slaughtering a pig! The doors to the apartment (located on the third floor) and to the bathroom were closed and you could hear it from the sidewalk !!!

Formerly, my father had a doublet ( :? not to say two or a pair ...) to hunt the rabbit in the burrow.

They were in a cage in the yard and reeked of death.
Not to the taste of the young mother who insisted that he flee.

The ferret in the burrow scares the rabbit out and gets caught in a net or by a shot.
If caught by the ferret, it will bite and bleed him. Once full, he falls asleep in the burrow ... : Mrgreen:

Not to stink of death : Lol: they should be washed at least once a week. We were the sink or the tub. When we came out of a bubble bath (we had this pleasure once a week) we put the ferrets in it. They swim super well. A second shampoo in the sink and presto they smell good : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:
