Time to start farm rat control says extension entomologist

He cites stable populations, reduced migration and better winter poisoning results using warfarin in weather tight bait stations. A 4 percent mix of cornmeal oats and warfarin is recommended along with cleanup rat proofing and regular bait servicing to master the rodents.
