Rats

That doesn't sound right, farview. The containers should be shaped like a box with a hole at each end for the rats to run through.

We do our own vermin control with sections of cut down drain pipe but then DH has been doing it for years and knows exactly where to place them.

Are they a local outfit? They don't sound as professional as Rentokill

It just seems to be covered in plastic..it's in four placed and covered with bits of crock.
Yes I will speak to them tomorrow thanks merlotgran

Did the pest control people put the poison down in containers?

Have a word with them tomorrow when they return and make sure they tell you what follow up treatment they are going to use.

Other animals should be perfectly safe so long as the poison is distributed correctly.
