All the stuff listed. Diphacinone is another which I have used successfully in the past. But it is not a single feeding toxin.

Google 2'nd generation rodenticides for more information.

The simple answer is, I also use "Tomcat" and their branded bait stations around and under the house. I climb into the crawl space and rebait about once a year. We have not gotten a mouse into the house in years, since I set up the bait stations.

"Tomcat" products are available from Tractor Supply and many other farm and suburban outlet stores.

One More Bite II.

get it at the feed store.

Corn yellow colored bricks.

I’ve found nice dead within feet.

Buddy of mine used some in his boat. Found a big squirrel sized swamp rat dead in it. Bet it took a few more bites for him.

I buy the 8# container and it is usually good for two years. No issues with pets eating the dead critters...

Interesting, zinc phosphide.... Turns to phosine gas in presence if stomach acid. Acute poison. Not an anti-coagulant. Inexpensive.

I always thought it was more fun to trap them. Mice are easy.

+1 In the past I've had good luck with D-Con, but this year It's been nothing but old fashioned mouse traps baited with peanut butter. Works like a charm. Only good mouse is a dead mouse.

Another smart guy. Use the chit that kills with one dose.

I think I found the best bet yet, at least up at my cabin. I just take a 5 gal. bucket with a few inches of old anti freeze with some peanut butter stuck half way down the bucket next to the wood pile. I can leave it in the cabin so the coons don't tip over the bucket. The antifreeze keeps them from stinking too. I got 5 over the winter as of April 25th. I came back on May 16th and not one mouse third anywhere in the cabin and none in the bucket. I prefer to leave it outside but the coons smell the peanut butter.

I killed a cat one time with some Talon G toss packs.

When was I still in the exterm business. Wasn’t pretty. Guessing he ate straight from the pack.

Like the poor fugger was tripping straight balls bad acid trip. Chit cause the brain stem to swell.

Won’t ever put poison around our place any more.

I do exclusion, and trapping and the tar pit lol

Got a Rubbermaid tote in my walk in cooler all year long. It’s a mouse slayin mfer. Had on in there last week. Gawd it was ripe. Had to dish him with two fly swaggers. 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Was out in the garage late last night. Had earlier cleaned a pistol and was reloading some ammo. Caught some slight movement out of the corner of my eye towards a cluttered area. Me and a sizeable rat had a staring down contest. I thought about reaching for my 9mm there on the workbench, but thought better of it. Neighbors would get curious, don't need a hole in the garage wall, have to explain to wife and M-I-L, etc., etc. Would be even worse in the unlikely event that I should miss or need multiple shots. Set a rat trap for him before going to bed. SOB tripped it and took the bait/midnight snack, probably laughing at me with all his buddies. Gonna reset it again tonight. I hate to use poison because if you don't find the body pretty quick, they stink up the place. They seldom die in convenient places. I hate rats.

[Every once in a while I'd go on a poor man's safari. Every so often I'd spot a mouse in the garage while messing with something at the work bench. Knowing his "range" I'd set out an apple slice as my stalking goat. Then settle back in my "blind" with a pellet gun. Doesn't take long for the curious little beasties to reappear. Would be fun for a kid but does require a little patience.

I used to use a product called Hawk I believe, came in packets filled with blue kernels. Worked great but I cant find it anymore. Started using these yellow brick looking things and they seem to work. I've found a couple mice wandering around like they're drunk so I'm guessing they're 'bout to kill over. I sped up the process!

Uncle’s Keeshond was running around one morning while were prepping the route trucks.

Two of us were dividing some Diphacinone bait squares into keylock stations. Turn your head for one minute and that dog snatched a candy bar sized rod of “Di Blox” lol

Dog chewed it up really quick and swallowed it. It was green-apple flavored. Won’t lie, it smelled pretty good. Which is why it was meant for lock stations and shy rodents.


I got a bottle of peroxide and squeezed lavaged that whole pint down his piehole.

1 minute later, the gyrations started. 😃🤮🤮🤮

Looked like green bread dough coming out of dump truck.

Final (brodifacoum). The stuff has a ton of grain in the blocks, so rodents love it.

Google “Rat Island” (Hawadax Island in Alaska). Govt air dropped tons of brodifacoum on the idlsnd and cleared the entire island of rats.,
