If we use a bait station do we have to physically remove the dead mice/rats or do they eat it and move elsewhere to die?

We put the bait in our garage. The mice ate it, climbed through a hole and died in our attic. The smell was awful for about five days but we have not seen or heard another rat.

They eat it and then find someplace to die. In my case it died under my hot tub ! Gross, but at least hes gone...

They eat it and are kind enough to go elsewhere to die. I've only found 1 dead rat in my large yard over lo these many years, and I can assure you I've had many more than a single rat around here! (Yuck!) Wherever they go, they definitely do not die inside the bait station.

We found the rats around the base of the house. I pput the food out for three nites then watched for the dead ones caught all 6. works great

Generally, they go elsewhere while the poison does its work. However, it was my experience that the "elsewhere" might be an attic nest (discovered because of the odor) or in a dark corner in the garage. Stll, I will use it any time I need it.

hope fully you will find their dead bodies before they begin to stink. they dont leave town when they eat the poisons they get thirsty and die its what they do. look for them u will smell the pee smell very strong afterwards for sure. good luck. oh n if you are local to me in Bonney Lake Wa just call and I will come remove them for ya!;-)

Hi Joy, I don't see Rats listed in the product guidelines. Sorry. I live in the hills in Los Angeles and rats are a big problem here. Primarily Roof Rats. We were invaded about 6 years ago with the rats occupying an attic space above the kitchen. I freaked and then called a pest control company here called Corky's. They set multiple traps around the outside of the house after inspecting. When the rats left the attic ( via a hole behind the stove) and went out searching for food, the Cocky's bait stations designed for rats were waiting. You have to poison the rats, but no domestic pet can get inside the containers. Within a couple of weeks the rats were gone, but we have continued the service to keep them out of the house, as rats are everywhere in the hills and the city and it's worked. The Yard Sentinel ( 3 set at keys sight line points ) continues to do the job on the Raccoons, a wild animal far more dangerous to your health than even rats. Question: You said your rats are ALMOST 2 lbs. How did you conclude that, did they just hop up on the bathroom scale for you or is it one of those exercises, weight yourself, grab the rat by the tail and then weigh yourself again? I know it's not funny, but couldn't resist. Hope my feedback is of some help. Bill

No. I think the rat is smart not to get into the zapper, period. I know that because the bait in the zapper stays in tack no matter how long I set it out.

I've never noticed any rodents. I put leaves, straw, etc. into the bin. When we add our food scraps then I always push aside some of the leaves/straw, dump the scraps, and then push the leaves/straw back over the food. So we usually cover up what we put into the bin. We also do not put any kind of meat or dairy into the bin. Turning the pile on a regular basis is important and that helps the contents decay faster. In the past, I've seen mice in the garage and once in the backyard. Solved that problem via mice traps and providing a wood pile in which a snake could live (yes, I did find a snake in the wood pile). I've never noticed any rodents.

Contrac Blox is what my exterminator used, so I just used the same. I don't know if it is the best, but I have killed quite a number of rats. I haven't seen bait carried out of the box. I have seen left over pieces of grain in the bottom of the box that I suppose could be spilled out if the box was shaken or tipped on its side. I keep mine flat and don't tip it. I think this occurs when other pests eat the bait (lizards or roaches). I also add roach bait to mine if the rat bait has attracted roaches.

It is bait free but DO NOT BUY this because (when I used 2 of them) the rats/mice DID NOT GO INSIDE and eat the bait (it was untouched.) I then wired the bait outside near where the bait stations were located & the rats/mice ate it and died. Also, when the bait stations were delivered most of the rods were not included and had to go through hell with the seller to have them sent to me. Just get "One Bite" rat poison that comes in rods w/ holes through the middle and use thin wire to tie them down and the rats eat it and die.

I have been told both. The rats can smell the bait and chew threw the packet. Then the critter catcher told me they had to be opened. I put some out in the plastic rat trap outside and a few weeks later a rat came out of the grasses and dies on the drive way. So I think it works in the packet. Good luck!

No not really. They still came around where I had it put down. The sticky traps work the best. Doesnt repel them, which is what I'd prefer....But at least somethings killing them

Each bait block has a small hole. Use the metal firm wire and insert it into each block. The wire,metal is secured into the bait box. The rats cannot do any thing except bite the bait. On the other hand, the bait is fatal to the rat. Therefore if the rat carries the bail, it is likely it will be carried to the nest.....still fatal....now to the rest of thenet

If the mouse dies inside the house, yes it certainly will turn odoriferous. However, it's more likely the critter will go outdoors to seek water after dining on your deadly delectibles

Bait must be ordered seperately. These bait stations work great. Ignore the person who said they don't go inside because they do go inside and eat the poison. You would never place the bait outside as you would kill your dogs and cats and all kinds of friendly animals along with your neighbors pets and I'm sure your local police would not look kindly upon placing poison outside of bait stations.

The mouse gets caught on the glue trap and they can't move. There is no poison. Yes, they starve to death if you don't find it and kill them first.

Frank I don't know where you put the bait . I put the peanut butter on the wall with the holes in it . I wish I had more traps this trap for me works great since I got it I probably have caught 30 or more mice . I hope this helps .

It should attack them yo the poison... They are rodants and I'm sure like the same things to munch on... If your having any luck catching them in traps I'm sure this will do the trick! It worked well for us and we used it for field mice

If it kills mice and rats, I would assume it would kill these, providing you had the proper enticement to enter the box.

Sorry, have no idea how many blocks in a bucket. Likely it will kill lizards directly ingesting the poison. Anything animal that ingests the dead mouse/rat is likely to be affected. I stopped using this poison because of the horrific manner in which it kills........pretty gruesome. I use the rat zappper - much more humane and no possibility of it harming other animals such as one's pets

No, and I would never use an inhumane method like that for mice. Mice have their uses. Just capture them with bait and then toss them out beyond city limits.
