Distencies in Moringen: toxic rat foam threatens animals in the garden!

Moringen, Deutschland - in Moringen, Lower Saxony, an incident causes horror among the residents. Peter Weiser discovered in his allotment garden that the entrance area, the garden gate and part of the fence with a highly toxic rat foam, known as racumin, were sprayed. A spray can thrown away was found on the ground, which indicates irresponsible handling of the toxic substance. Racumin may only be used with a certificate of expertise to combat rats and mice.

The rat foam settles on the fur of animals and can lead to poisoning if the affected animals lick it. Weiser, alarmed by the danger to dogs, cats and wild animals in the area, immediately contacted the police. However, this pointed out that it was not responsible and referred to the city as the real contact. Weiser then blocked the site, put on a warning triangle and carefully removed the poison from his garden.
