Pogeu "Rat baits are laced with D3 as it is fairly effective as a poison. It causes anticoagulation, the blood can't clot and the rat bleeds out."

It is a small thing/mistake and easy to make and the last thing I wanted to do was to start something with you and I even said I had to look it up myself and only did so out of curiosity. I know we have some history with the back and forth...so I realize there is some understandable friction. But anyhow D kills rats by hypervitaminosis and not anticoagulation...that is just how it is...it is not really an opinion type of thing. *shrug*


Hypervitaminosis

The concept behind this rat killer is to cause a spike in the natural concentration of vitamins, specifically the fat-soluble vitamin D2 and D3, which are responsible for regulating calcium and phosphate in the body.

How does it kill rats, and how long does it take?When the rat ingests too much vitamin D2 and D3, the amount of calcium in its body skyrockets. This causes calcium salts to build up along vital organs such as the heart, lungs, stomach, and kidneys. Calcium salts are sharp and will inevitably cause tearing and injury and disrupt the normal functions of these tissues.
