Not sure how many of you live in the Discovery Gardens , but if you do , beware of the new pest control devices that are placed around the buildings . They are black or gray colour plastic thin boxes you can see them by the building wall on the ground , not sure how they operate but I know for a fact that they release a poison that is dangerous for dogs and cats . A neighbor's dog was sick from the poison and hospitalised for a week. Do not leave your pets out of your site and do not let them get close to the pest control device...

Thank you SueB foir sharing this . I had not seen the stone type yet. Apparently its a strong war against the rats . But I wish they would at least inform the residents in advance . I'm sure the poison cant kill dogs and cats if its made for rats , but it can easily make them sick.

my cat brought one home last year. I thought it was a pretty blue stone so left it...then something niggled in my pea brain that i should check this out. Took it away but kept it. 2 days later m y neighbour said the pest control had put down poison behind an outdoor cupboard. I asked to see it and there was a stone like the one the cat brought to play with. We were lucky. If your animal is found playing with a stone take it away.....dogs will eat them, cats will play and get it on their paws. Rats go in and take them and often they just drop them..so, be careful.
