cyclops2 Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 I use D Con made with the anticoagulant in the baits. Bigger animals can handle the amount in the dead mouse 2 neighbors cats eat the mice for years. Still fine. I put the baits in a wire mesh tunnel long enough to keep bait away from others. It is staked into the ground out of rain and in the garage. Mice DO DO attack car wiring !! $ 350 Insurance & Honda covered it. They eat that Soy covering on the wires. D Con on the engine. 1 week no more mice. 1 Quote
desmobob Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 I've had no luck with D-Con. They simply carry it away and store it, and even chew up the little pie-wedge boxes it comes in. I'm sure it must kill them eventually, but it just has not been effective for me. The beauty of the TomCat or other brand bait blocks is the size. The blocks are too large for the mice to carry away, so they gnaw at it and eat it. And they don't have to eat much of it at all. The blocks will last at least a couple of seasons. Quote

The only thing I would improve on is to have TWO. You almost always have more than one mouse. Well we buy them by the case haha. But they are re usable, i just keep one set at home and when it catches a mouse, throw the mouse out and reset the trap. I catch 3-4 a year it seems (at home) 1 Quote
cyclops2 Posted November 23, 2021 Posted November 23, 2021 I live in N J farm area. I know when it is trap & Peanut butter time . I hear their feet scurrying on the attic sheetrock about 10 to 12 o'clock as they go out to feed. Set 4 traps that are tied to a screw eye. Prevents them dragging to a spot to die. 1 Quote
