I have several bait stations scattered about with "name brand' traps and doesn't seem to be very effective. Sumbitches are gainin' weight chowin' down on the "poison".

One word of warning —. Dog’s will eat them, and one or more can kill a dog pretty easily...
I keep them locked away, and only put them where a dog can’t ever ever ever get at them.... (do not put them in the garage where a dog might get locked in for a while and start looking for something to eat -you won’t have a dog.
Brew up a vat of mash for a moonshine still- - - - -every mouse, rat, squirrel, and even a racoon or two in the neighborhood will show up to take a terminal swim. They float after a couple of days, and it makes it easier to skim them off the top instead of dipping them off the bottom with a long-handled net. It doesn't seem to affect the flavor of the booze either way! Jerry
Mix up a batch of dry hydraulic cement with cornmeal. They don’t have to ingest much of the cement to be fatal, plus their carcasses aren’t poisonous to non target animals.
I have been using a product called ProZap. It is a first kill poison that won't harm the critters that eat the dead mouse or vole. It's available in 1# to 55-gallon barrels. A local feed lot turned me on to this product - they get the 55-gallon drums.
I buy the 8# container and it is usually good for two years. No issues with pets eating the dead critters...
