I tried 2/3 maize (cheaper than cornmeal here) and 1/3 cement powder. Put some in a dozen old 1/2 gallon apple juice bottles (I picked those because the neck is the same size as the commercial traps and being
4-sided, they will lay flat).Also, filled some sandwich bags with the mixture, left them unsealed and threw them up on the roof. Being spread on the shingles, this could get some squirrels too, but I don't want any fleabags climbing on the house so good riddance.
Years ago I told my neighbor that his dog was chewing up my paper when it came in a bag on the driveway. He denied it. I got some alum and dissolved it, put it on an old paper and put it in a bag on my driveway. Never had that problem again.
My barber told his neighbor that his dog was getting into his garbage cans. Neighbor denied it. Barber spread Exlax around his garbage cans. Next day the neighbor was bringing carpets out of his house and washing them off. Barber asked his neighbor what he was doing and the neighbor said his dog had diarrhea and crapped all over his carpets. Barber told neighbor that you don't know what your dog might eat when he runs loose.
Barber also had a cat story but it is too gruesome to tell.

Old age no longer factors into the death of cats?

I use this and it works great- I use a yogurt container to keep it contained and dry by the chickens.I use chick starter feed and cement
Ah u must be American. most of yr urban wildlife- aka birds, small mammals, lizards etc already dead due to pussycats. Here in Australia, cats are considered feral animals altho they are still widespread as pets. They kill native birds, small possums, etc at a rate of about 100/year. Most rodent poisons have a secondary kill in them which takes out owls and other predators who eat the poisoned rodent. Try the cement flour method and leave access to water right outside the building w the infestation. Might just do the trick without harm to native wildlife.
Might be of interest to note that rodents cannot throw up. Once they swallow a poison they can only excrete it. That is one reason why they are used to test toxicity of substances.
Wow could you possibly be more ignorant?! Cats have this little thing they do, ya might of heard of it before, it's called "instinct"... Where do you believe that comes from??? Humans did not create cats either, however humans were the ones to forcibly domesticate them. I've never once come across one of the creatures on the "right side" of any door. Most do prefer to be outside fyi, regardless of what your preferences are. Let me guess, you're probably one of those vegan activists who've also went against what's scientifically proven to be best for proper feline health, only feeding the poor malnourished thing to eat only salads... People like you should have to take a full course in how to properly and HUMANLY car for any/all pets.
Cat seems happy sitting on my lap getting petted but it's chilly and rainy outside. If he gets the urge to go out he know enough to scratch on the door. I didn't exactly domesticate him either. He was pretty feral when I put some food out for other cats but soon decided regular meals were a good thing and became territorial.

Cats are cats. Mine likes regular food, litter box, pets, etc. She trained me, not the other way around. Rescue cat. Must be a PETA poster.
This one isn't big on pets. There are a couple of other cats that he will tolerate eating from his bowl but mostly any cat that wanders in the yard is in for an ass-kicking. A friendly tabby was rubbing my legs when I was getting in the car yesterday so I put some Friskies in a dish for her at the end of the driveway. No go. He left his full bowl to run her off.
