While strychnine kills a mole in up to 15 minutes, aluminium phosphate takes up to three days, ensuring that the mole has a slow and painful death.

Mientras que las estricnina mata a un topo en no más de quince minutos, con el fosfato de aluminio se necesitan tres días, por lo que el topo tiene una muerte lenta y dolorosa.

As a result, mole catchers are only allowed to use aluminium phosphate, which costs twice as much as strychnine and is putting many of them out of business.

En consecuencia, los cazadores de topos sólo pueden utilizar fosfato de aluminio, que cuesta el doble que la estricnina, algo que les está llevando a la quiebra.
