Snake poo is being sold with the claim it deters rats, well I've been conducting an experiment that proves it is a Myth.
I have a lot of trouble with rats around my bird aviaries and an endless supply of snake poo and it has no effect whatsoever, I have been spreading it liberally around one aviary and not another and it has no effect at all, in fact rats eat it, Ive watched them on CCTV.
Rats can't get at my birds but their urine is a disease and parasite problem if it gets in the feed or water from above.
I have also relocated 2 Eastern Browns, several RBB's and one wild Diamond to the aviary area (there are plenty of places for them to lurk under the partially suspended aviaries) over the last few years and I still have rats.
Just made them some nice Christmas cakes out of Ratsak and Peanut Butter, look very Christmasy with the green Ratsak. Avoided poison before because it could effect the wild snakes but hopefully they won't eat dead rats.
