I've been told the Dcon, in the little box, makes the rodents really thirsty before it kills them. In their search for water the can chew through pex. ............... It does drive them crazy with thirst so when using D con I'm always considerate of the poor little creatures so I leave a nice bowl of fresh water out for them. It's easier to find the bodies that way.

Have your dog eat one of those poison killed mice and you might think twice about using it. We can' keep barn cats around due to fox, coyote, great horn owls, but the neighbors replenish theirs about every two years. We get the benefit when those visit our barn at night, This^^^^^I have dogs so poison isn't an option. As for Cats... the only way they're effective is if you never feed em and few people will do that these days.. . Until someone comes up with a tried and true answer I'll just keep resetting my traps and cussing.

Geno PS, boy do I get to cussin when those lil bass turds get in something important.

This, all day. Put a little antifreeze in it to keep it from freezing, and/or stinking and you're good to go. They're the easiest and deadliest we've found. Bucket Mouse Trap

There is a trap on u tube, a little roller bar, you install it top of 5 gallon bucket.
Wood ramps to bucket, put p-but butter on roller bar, when mice climb out to get bait, roller spins, mice fall in bucket, water in bucket, mice drown.
Looks like it works
