Another, enviromentally friendly way us to introduce strict diet for cats.
Once Whiskas becomes scarce, voles should start disappearing

Now on a serious note.

Couple years ago my backyard got overrun by rats.
Roughly same time I found dead young rat next to pepper plant. Some 15-20cm away. Leaves have been nibbled on. I knew that Solanaceae are poisonous, but didn't expect tat they are so potent.

Over next couple weeks I was crushing some leaves in a mortar, mixing the paste with peanut butter or spreading on cheddar and placing in various places around the garden.
Within month ot two rats ave disappeared. Never found dead fox and none of neighbourhood cats disappeared.
That doesn't mean it won't kill a scavenger. There is a potential. Looks loke young leaves are most potent.



Same time warning - if you have veggie plot with peppers/tomatoes/potatoes and little kids please make they do not munch on leaves/flowers/young fruit of geese plants!
