How effective is Rodenticide for CTB?

[MoMiiShii]

Rodenticide is pretty accessible in my area and I won't look too suspicious if I were to buy it. Problem is, I really never heard of "success" stories of Rodenticide. My depression and bulimia (I've gained weight already this year due to losing a gag reflex :/) had been going super downhill this year and I've been thinking of alternative options to eating disorder recovery & antidepressants to escape these illnesses. Had anyone had experience or knew someone with experience of using Rodenticide to CTB?

Depends on the poison itself: some are anticoagulants, some are metal phosphides and some causes hypercalcemia through vitamin D overdose. Strong rodenticides, like brodifacoum, kills a rat who ate a single bite in a few days by inhibiting vitamin K and damaging blood vessels, so they basically bleed to death. There are been cases of people trying to kill themselves with brodifacoum, but its both extremely painful and easily treatable medically. Unless you are 100% sure that NO ONE will ever see you for some days and you want to suffer, it's not worth it.

It's always better to go for more popular methods with enough success reports than to risk it with less known methods that have less to 0 reported cases.

Agreed. Even SN, despite the fact that it's not entirely peaceful, is better than this.
