Would it be safe to put this on the bird feeder we find the rats on at night? Rarely have birds feed at night. Will it kill birds? Also will they then crawl into our attic and die? We have sealed every possible hole (except for the one they use to get into the attic) and have killed several up there with traps. Haven't caught the first one in boxes outside.
Contrac All-Weather Blox Rodenticide must be used in tamper resistance baits stations by law when used outside so it cannot be just placed out at night in the open around a bird feeder. The best thing to do with birds is to stop feeding them and use the bait in stations until the rodents are under control, otherwise you are providing a food source that they are more familar with which makes them less likely to go for the bait. After rodents consume the bait they are going to die wherever they die. To prevent this happening inside you should seal up all cracks and crevices that allow them access inside.
We have some guides below that can help as well:
