Yes, oleander contains toxic compounds, primarily cardiac glycosides, which can be harmful or lethal to various animals, including rats. While it is not typically marketed or specifically formulated as rat poison, ingestion of oleander can lead to poisoning. Care should be taken to keep oleander and its derivatives away from pets and wildlife due to its toxicity.
