Definitely.

Rat poison is lethally toxic to pretty much all mammals - and birds - and fish - as long as they ingest enough of it. "Enough" isn't all that much either. Some common past ingredients of rat poison included arsenic, barium, and thallium. (If you haven't heard of arsenic as poison you probably haven't watched or read any old murder mysteries.) Newer ones are maybe not quite as toxic - but still really nasty. They contain stuff like diphacinone, bromadiolone and warfarin - all anticoagulants that cause internal bleeding. Highly toxic metal phosphides are also a common ingredient.
