I have two dogs, if I put this in the attic and the crawl space can the mice come out and be eaten by the dogs?

I read on one web site that there was talk of banning the ingredient that kills the mice and rats because owls and other birds of prey were catching the rats and mice and it was killing the birds of prey. So if you think that your dogs might eat the mice it would depend on how big your dogs are and how many that they eat. The same would be true with just about any mouse or rat bait some of the bait uses warfarin which is prescribed to people with blood clots and heart patients to thin their blood it is just a regulated dosage. So to be on the safe side you might want to use some traps or glue boards. My main use for this is as a mole poison it seems to work pretty good.

It could happen but most likely the mice would not get to where the dogs are. I have always haddogs in the house and it has not happened to me!

I have only caught mice with the trap. And I can tell you it has been quite successful at that task. I haven't placed it near my garden so I cannot be sure it would not catch voles or moles. However, Victor never mentions catching voles or moles in any of their descriptions of their product. So I think you should probably invest your money else ware in dealing with your particular infestation.

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.

There may be a rodent w/fleas living in your attic, or under your house or in the walls of your house, or even in the gutters of your roof....

We buried ours into the soil a little bit. We have never had a problem with rodents. Smart raccoons have gotten the top off even with the locks! At least we think they're raccoons haven't actually seen them.

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

The box has to be assembled. There will be small gaps between the box and lid. It is possible you could get ants in there, but I don't think bees or wasps could get in. Being plastic a mouse could chew its way in. Mine has been outside for some time and there has been no intrusion. However, I wouldn't try keeping food in it that would attract mice and ants as I'm sure they would find a way in.It could only be rodent and bug proof if it was a hermetically sealed steel box.

Absolutely! I have used it in my garage very successfully. Better to get the mice there rather than in the house.

I would think so- they are airtight so they don't allow smells to escape. A rodent could chew through- but would have to be persistent and have a reason to- without the smell I think you're safe.

i do not believe so. I hope, if you buy this, you have better luck than we did. There were some mice making a home in our yard. Bought this and I think they actually laughed, :( . Moved it right next to the bird feeder, where the mice would also gather. They walked right in front of it. The only animals it seemed to bother were our dogs.

It works well with roaches! No more roaches in my house! Don't know about squirrel or mice as mice did not run away at all in the garage! You might find some food to trap them they eat and run away to get water and die or never come back in my garage or garden ( mice)! Good luck and happy new year!

We have had a mouse coming and going from our chicken coop but have not had any issues with it getting into the feeder. However if you placed the feeder near some chicken wire a mouse could probably climb in.

I put mine inside an old dog house that used to belong to a beloved pet that we've long-since buried. Just make sure the Rat Zapper is far enough inside that blowing rain won't get to it.

Yes you can but wear gloves to cover your scent. Keep in mind if/when mice die their may be a smell due to where the mice(s) die. Pros and con as you can tell. Hope this helps

Hi Aubin, sorry I am late with this response. I have used this item for inhouse only. I keep it mainly for rats and mice which knock on wood has solved my problem. Also works for spiders but I highly doubt this is powerfull enough to work on raccoons ------I don't think those guys are bothered by anything. You can use them in a garage but I think the capacity of what they keep away is limited. These are great for inhouse-----I do change them every 5-6 months.

this type of shed is very good, there are no wide gaps for rodents to get in, but you may have ants, bugs, or even spiders find there way in. What I did with mine (I have two) I spread silicone on the bottom, around the whole shed, to keep out any little crawlers going on 6yrs. so far so good.
