Throw Packs- for All Species of Rats Mice Safe Around Pets

I have cats. I was overrun this year by field mice. They are very cunning at what they do and they are also viscous in nature. Different traps would work for maybe one rounds. I think I figured out one major reason. They have an unbelievable sense of smell. If they smell a mouse cadaver or a human they will avoid the traps. They seem to really like this bait and for a while stopped working. In my research I realized the importance of wearing rubber gloves when you handle the packs - presumably to avoid getting human scent on them. They are non-toxic so I cannot see any other reason. Anyway since I started wearing rubber gloves they are working well for what mice I have left.

I purchased these and put several down, the mice have not touched it so it's useless. I used steel wool to plug the areas they come in but injured my back and will eventually cover the holes with metal and molding to see if that helps... we did have the outside areas covered by someone but I have to check that again and have someone else come back. Ever since we had the siding redone the situation got worse. So my advice is if you have asbestos tile leave it alone, siding just creates holes all over your house. I was also stung by a wasp while sleeping, and had them twice in my bedroom due to holes left by the people who did the siding. This product is a waste of time and money. I won't use the wafarin ones as cats can die from that and I can't use traps. What a mess. I still have clean up to do but can't due to my back. I don't want my cats getting them and eating them because they can get re-exposed to different strains of t gondii and one tragically passed away from toxoplasmosis. I would like a refund but I think it is too late. I will try calling. I have to wonder how there are so many good reviews here. I know there are still mice in the garage and studio because I found one that had drowned in a basin of water I had forgotten to put away which was horrific and that was several weeks after I put these down. In addition none of them have been eaten and when my cats escape to the garage one goes immediately to one area where they would wait for the mice- once when he was out there I heard him knock over something so he was chasing one but didn't catch it. I'm going to set up some cameras to see if I can see them at all. Hopefully covering the holes with metal panels and molding and sealing up the outside will eventually work.

These work well and are very easy to use. It took a few packs but they rid me of a mouse infestation.

Works if you use a lot. I mean put a lot of these throw packs out in one area.

Didn't work very well. No smell noticeable. I won't put it out now I have cats.

They seem to work just fine

Purchase to feed mice, haven't seen once placed in certain area's.

So far the mice have not taken the bait on this one. Even though we placed the bags as instructed in areas we know they are likely to nest. So I don't know. My hunch is that as poisons go, this is fine. On the other hand, the mice have to be enticed enough to chew through the wrapper. So far, that hasn't happened. Whereas we have caught 8 mice with the glue trips. Currently we seem to be mouse free. Living in the country, the mice always seem to find their way in (even to my car). I hate to kill them - the glue traps have caught the most mice (but it's a gruesome way to die).
