[Tweeters] Exposure to neurotoxic rodenticide bromethalin in birds of prey -- ScienceDaily

[Gene Beall]

A couple years ago we transitioned away from using any loose bird seed 
and started using only hot pepper suet cakes and seed cylinders.  We no 
longer have any problem with rodents or squirrels.  We get the small Hot 
Pepper No Melt Suet Dough cakes at Home Depot and the big 5-lb Hot 
Pepper No-Mess seed cylinders at Wild Birds Unlimited (also available in 
smaller 1.75-lb cylinders).  The seed cylinders are a bit pricey but 
well worth it to avoid using any other rodent control.
