We had a rat problem in our barn when I was a kid, we shot 14 of them the first night we went out for them.

The next day someone got the idea to stick the rats in ant piles to get the meat off of them. Fire ants picked them clean in about a week and we were sticking 3 in each pile.

So if you have fire ants around try that. Around here in Florida I would not bother burying a skull, my brother had tried doing that with a whole opossum. Two weeks after he buried it there was only small bits of bone left in the cage he buried it in.
