Question about rat bait safety
I hope this is the right forum to ask this.
We discovered what we thought was a squirrel in our attic is actually a roof rat. We called out a pest management company and they have placed traps in our attic, but they also want to put out rat bait in rat bait stations around our house.
We have four regular raccoon visitors (and an opossum) who we are quite fond of. The pest company assures me that the rat bait stations exclude the raccoons and they won’t be attracted to the bait so it shouldn’t be a problem, but I’m not so sure.
These are four large raccoons who love to visit our compost pile and eat the seed from under our bird feeders, plus the occasional cat food when it’s left out. We have locks on our trash can lids so they can’t get in them.
What has been the experience of the people on this board with raccoons and rat bait/rat bait stations?
Thanks!

When would they give birth?
A very rotund raccoon was visiting my yard every night. I assumed she was a pregnant female. She hasn't come the last few nights and I'm worried.
Is this the time of year that she might have had the babies? Or did she get hit by a car?

I needed a mental concept of how raccs look like - How big are their ears? Where are the eyes located? - and so I drew this, without copying from a photo.
