Hmmmmmmmm. Just maybe it was dogs. I thought it funny that coons would come up to the shop to get at it when the shop is a good piece from the water and there is plenty for them to eat down there. The bait was disappearing nightly and over time amounted to a fair expense. But dogs do roam at night around here and pee on my tires and get into my trash. County has an ordinance against loose dogs as it is. I keep my dog in a 40'x40' pen.
Now that I think about it there used to be a pack of dogs down the road that ran loose all the time. Lots of barking and all. Recalling events of late, don't see many lying in the road any more and the barking has all but subsided. Nobody came around asking any questions. If it killed them off, I guess they figured it was natural causes.
I didn't do it intentionally, but now that I know what I just learned, I think I'll buy it in the little protected pouches to put under my vehicles as I have only had 2 problems with my 2011 Silverado since buying new and both were wires gnawed into, not covered (obviously) by the warranty and cost me $250 to have fixed.
The rats can go and eat elsewhere or suffer the consequences.
While on the subject, I used to have a pretty good mouse problem in the house. I now go around the house throwing some under there and they have all but disappeared.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
