This is what I have been led to believe.
I have always avoided these poisons for this reason. The much
more deadly strychnine treated grain is much faster and the pocket
gopher goes or stays down and we have never had a pet poisoning
with it. Nevertheless, I do fear it and use it only as a last ditch job.
perhaps someday when the traffic is lower, I will tell you of my
adventures in trapping gophers and the inferioroty complex they
gave me.
