Throw packs of rat & mouse poison - me being lazy, it's easier than setting spring type traps, they're a royal pain when you've got hordes of vermin wanting to gobble your horse feed. Anyway, I buy the packs in little buckets and use 3-4-5 buckets every year. The packs get eaten almost immediately and there's no end to it. Put out 10-12 packs, in a few days there's nothing left but the chewed up wrapper. What's eating the poison and not getting killed? I can't believe there's that much vermin hanging around the barns and getting killed by the poison and there's still more vermin waiting for their chance to eat their last meals.

Don’t they die after they eat it and drink water? Maybe they are running off before death

live trap bucket is way more fun.

you'll probably catch 100's

Put a game camera on it.

I've caught a possum many times running off with it. Apparently they like it and it doesn't kill them

Squirrels will eat it like candy

Could be lots of things. Insects will eat it. Depends on what brand and active ingredient you are using. Vitamin k1 is the antidote for bromadiolone. Lots of pet food has vitamin k in it. If they feed on the rodenticide and then consume dog food with vitamin k. They won't be affected

^^^This. I had that problem a few years ago...found the dead critter on top of my wife's car intake. Stankny dead critter.

Skunks, coons, opossums, ain't no telling.

They eat it, then it starts working, most poisons either starve or dehydrate the vermin rapidly.

I’ve looked into this stuff and decided it wasn’t deadly enough. I wish it worked, but I just can’t pull the trigger on it.

How far away is the nearest water?
I had a terrible rat problem in my attic so threw about a dozen of those just one bite packages up there.
The next morning there was about 12 dead rats in a circle around a dog water pan in the back yard. They were about 8’ away from the water in an almost perfect circle around that bowl. Crazy.

No rodenticide dehydrates or makes them look for water

I had a couple of rats in my garage. They ate a bunch of the poison and it didn’t kill them. I mean a bunch. It seemed like candy to them. Got the first one with a glue trap. The second the exterminators poison killed..

Evidently the nasty neighbors attract them. When they try to exterminate them they move over in winter even if I have the poison out. One year they ate a couple of wires in my wife’s car. It cost about $800 to fix it.

My Morkie always knows if a rats been in the garage. When the one got stuck to the glue trap and fell behind the air tank he dove over the tank trying to get the rat. That was quite the production getting the rat without him getting it. My wife asked was the rat was alive. I said yes until I crushed his skull with the fiber mallet.

Ive got a mouse in my garage that likes ant killer ;/ my Amdro is all over the floor.
