I wonder if this is the molasses and peanut butter mix that my exterminator uses for mice and voles?

It does not smell like either molasses or peanut butter. It is mostly yellow and reminds me of corn. The reason I use it is that it doesn't cause secondary poisoning. That is, if a predator eats the dead animal, it will not be poisoned.

I don't think so. I think it has almonds and other yummy stuff in it They almost become addicted to it. It does not attract ants either, I think if I put out something with molasses and peanut butter in it I would have an ant and yellow jacket problem. I do use a "Rat Zapper" for my critters too. It is really cool. I do put a small piece of cracker with peanut butter on it and the deal is done. I dispatched 5 rats in one evening. I think it was a family. I just kept emptying it and before long I had another one. It is great for mice too. I bought it from Amazon too.

I have a yard that backs up to open space where the voles live. They were going after bulbs etc. in my yard. I had been using warfarin under my deck before I knew what was coming into the yard. Warfarin did not work but the voles loved it. So I used it as a feeding station under my deck since they were coming regularly and feeding on it. (I had a lattice around the deck so our dog could not get to the poison.) I was having a problem with the voles eating the motomco so I sweetened the "pie" by thinning some honey and coating the motomco. I have not gotten rid of the voles but seem to have fewer bothering the yard. I also was fortunate to be able to see some of their burrows out back so I put some motomco in the entrance to their burrow just before a cold period with snow. This also seemed to help. However, I fear it is going to be a battle to get the voles to eat the bait and not the taste things in the garden. I do not put the poison out where the birds or other animals can get to it.

I am not sure this is the product for you. First, are you sure they are mice? They may be voles. Voles leave paths in the grass that look like tunnels just below the grass line. In either case, I have found the best product to be plain old De-Con pellets dropped into the pathways where they run and into their holes. Act fast however as this product is being withdrawn from the market because parents do not take proper precautions and children get to it and eat it.

I just purchased some Great Stuff Pro series "PESTBLOCK" foam. The stuff is a green color. The can says that it will block mice. Probably has something in it that mice don't find palatable.

I haven't had much luck with this product. I have one down stairs and one on the main floor. I finally had enough of the mice and just bought Decon and got rid of them that way.

Hi, I had the very same problem (note had), I cut the blocks in half and laid the pieces (usually underneath the patio) where I believed they "traveled" the most. Voila! they ate all the pieces, after laying a second batch I noticed not all the pieces were gone/eaten, we did not see any more voles/field mice. I left the uneaten pieces in place - no more mice so I have removed the residue.

As far as I can tell it works against rabbits. Not sure about moles and voles though.

I snip the top off the packet and throw the packet inside the crawl space of my home. Mice/rats are quite good at eating through plastic so snipping the top off probably isn't necessary but it increases the scent attraction to the product.

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.

This bait goes inside a pet proof rat bait container. I would think the bait is aimed at rats which have a different diet than voles. So no, I don't think it is a good uses for the product..

I caught chipmunks all the time by accident in this thing. They like peanut butter, too. I also caught lots of mice. Have to keep checking the trap. the little kills are not obvious from a distance.

I have only used this product against mice so I don't know if this works against rats

If you used peanut butter or even some soft cheese you have to make sure that it does not touch both metal parts. If it does then you will short out the system and it wont work when the mouse goes inside of it, and it will drain down the batteries. Just make sure that the food is towards the corner so when the mouse goes inside their feet will touch both parts of metal.

no bait. I bought a large container, but haven't used it all because it killed all my voles :-)
