I understand that poisoning of ragondins using anticoagulant poison (like warfarin for rats) used to be widespread, causing death by internal bleeding.  I don't know if it's still used - I wouldn't think it's a great idea to use any kind of poison near water and water courses.  I was sceptical of using poison for ragondins a few years ago when it certainly was the recommended and preferred method around here; the bait had to be soaked in the stuff but it seemed to me that fruit was ill-adapted to absorbing liquid poison in large amounts - not as effective as dry grain, for instance.
