Thread: Rat/ Mouse Poison

I buy tomcat by the plastic bucket, then i leave the lid on. They eat through the lid to get to the blocks

Friend uses ratsack in his workshop but he has dogs as well so he puts the rat sack into old plastic milk bottles so the mice can get in to eat it but the dogs cant. He ties the bottles down so they cant b dragged away by the dogs.

After the 2011 floods a lot of people were having trouble with mice and rats, me included. The rodents seemed to be feasting on the usual baits without any real promising results. Somebody here on AULRO suggested a red block product from Derwent Traders, so I gave them a go! Problem solved, they are brilliant. Bait up, the baits rapidly disappear over a day or two, bait up again and the baits are untouched for months.

Cook and I were doing an overnight stop just off the North Coast Hwy recently and we started chatting to an old bloke from Q/Land about mice as we had one in the Deafener I couldn't catch or even see except for the slightest glimpse out the corner of my eye... damn it was fast!
Anyway he loaned us a trap he used and lo and behold, 2 caught overnight! Problem solved.
The trap is available from hardware stores everywhere apparently but not here in WA. So I bought them off the net at about 10 bucks each.
They're a square plastic tybe slightly bent with a bait holder inside one end... pull the cap off and stick bait on, replace end. I used peanut butter with a tasty morsel of cheese cracker stuck in it. Not too much as it upsets the balance.
Other end is a hinged flap with 2 legs which hold it open when you've set it.... mice go in and their weight unbalances it and the tube rests on the legs so mickey can't get out again.
Called the "humane trap" or something. Won't do the big infestations but good for the occasional intruder.

Been using Racumin for years . Works well. Had the rats chew through the lid of the bucket the other day to get at it

bait on the end of a long necked bottle over a drum of water,,
this will work indefinitely and catch many.
