If you get desperate and decide to feed them some poison – make sure you give them a one feed killer – not something that will keep them fat and happy. If rat numbers seem to be getting away – we occasionally give them a feed of Contrac – a one feed rat killer. But as rat numbers drop off – the Contrac blocks can sit around in the Philproof mini bait stations – then the mice move in and stay dry, warm and well feed – mouse shit turns blue, but they just run away when I turn the bait station over. They are small animals and just can’t eat enough of the active poisonous ingredient to kill them.
My pest control advisor told me to use First Strike – a one feed killer – a little more expensive than Contrac – but it works. Key Industries is a great supplier - https://keyindustries.co.nz/View-A-P...5#ProductRange
I have got seven mouse traps set around the kitchen, laundry and garage – got a couple but more will be back as the weather gets wet and cold.
