⚠️ Important Safety Notes
- Keep onions away from pets, especially dogs and cats. Onions are toxic to many animals.
- Do not use onions as bait in food traps — they repel rats, not attract them.
- Use onions as a repellent, not a poison — they work best in prevention and control, not extermination.
