Well HH here. It is ILLEGAL. You need to take pictures ASAP(daylight)and report to SAS. Actually you can not get a permit to do that either.
I know of plenty of people who trap squirrels, possums, and raccoons all the time and release them some where else. I put my hands over my ears and yell blah blah blah. Again we have to try and live together.
Listen I understand rats are a problem but if you want to kill them make it quick and simple and not endanger other animals, this INCLUDES BIRDS, cats and even dogs.(again another good reason to keep your cats inside)not of fan of pesticides either.
I don’t think I can be of any more help, sorry about that.
I do hope the info I have given you can get you some where. But as we all know people suck.
HH:)
