    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    I have also been sorting through some powder and found a rat has chewed a couple of small holes in some plastic powder cans. My immediate assumption is that the powder should be discarded?
    However, tipping some out onto a tray, it all looks fine, no clumping, off smells or discolouration.

    Any advice would be welcome.

    The powers are AR2207 and Benchmark 8208.

    Yea I have bought powder with rat holes chewed thru lid..powder was dry and sweet.. transferred to another empty powder can, labeled it exactly the same as original after removing new cans old label..don't just cross labels out, remove them. Powder was fine in my case..bit different if rat had pissed in it...
    I know a lot but it seems less every day...
