Is mouse poison a scam ?

Big Gerry

I've put a load of mouse poison down in my kitchen.

The mice keep eating it but I still have a mouse problem.

I think mouse posion is a scam because I have never heard of anyone dying from accidentally eating it.

If it really did kill it probably wouldn't be legal to sell it to the public.

Use a trap.

If poison is past it's use by date is it more or less poisonous?

A toddler could pick it up.

They build resistance to it. You might as well be feeding them regular food.

After years of scientific research and complex laboratory tests, it’s been established that there may be more than one mouse.

Don’t fall for the whole buying mouse poison trick........it’s a trap

Use a trap. Bit of ham on a few traps will sort it out. Unfortunately you have to confront your inner killer seeing the corps of a cute mouse. But while it might seem cruel I'd imagine a quick death from a trap is a lot less cruel than a slow death from chemicals.

Just move your kitchen into your sitting room, your sitting room into your garage, and put the garage into what used to be your kitchen.

You. Are. Welcome!

Handy if you want one.

Try some* and let us know how you get on.

Do NOT eat mouse poison!

(That should keep me out of prison)

They have become ill from ingesting it but they need to eat over 4 milligrams of the active ingredient per lb of body weight for a lethal dose.

There is an ultra sonic device that humans, cats and dogs cannot hear and it costs 30 euro from the hardware shop and drives out mice.

And it doesn’t work.

Keep putting down mouse poison, or put out some traps with peanut butter. Where you have one mouse you’ll have a dozen. If you have an attic make sure to bait that also.

Put down traps a in the attic and near the corner of a room,
its possible they might be coming from another house, or building ,
they can come in through a tiny hole in a wall ceiling ,
they eat the poison ,they go off and die somewhere ,
i think using traps is better,
do you want a lot of dead mice inside your wall,s or under a floorboard?
if its too much for you hire a pest control company.
they will find out where the mice are coming from.
put traps in the attic ,check em every day.Its not a scam,
the dead mouse could be in the attic,or under a floorboard in any room.
traps are faster than poison,
but you have to empty the trap, put a small dab of peanut butter on each trap
wooden traps are no use.

or go to lenehans hardware store
https://www.lenehans.ie/pest-free-zone-quick-set-mouse-trap-triple-pack.html?gclid=Cj0KCQiAvJXxBRCeARIsAMSkApp12DirtYDDO5JzRxQRzaXiBv_lpr80dJ9XGgXYXjgekTFpReXQUk4aArpNEALw_wcB

do not buy ANY wooden trap,s , it,s a waste of money.
wear gloves and empty the trap into a plastic bag.
wash your hands after setting traps, wear disposable gloves , when handling the trap,s .

they are too slow to watch mice.usually.
get the plastic trap,s ,there packs, 4 or 6 traps , for 5-6euro.
traps are small about 3inch long ,x2 inch wide.
look in household goods store ,s , tablot st dublin 1.
listen at night, can you hear mice running in the walls, or in the attic ?
if you have one mouse,you have 20, you cannot see.

First thing, try suss out how they are getting in. Block the access. Melt chocolate on trap.

Hot press is the M50 for mice.

I think blood pressure medication is mouse poison by another name.

You're thinking of the warfarin anticoagulant types. There are plenty of other.

Warfarin is to prevent blood clots, not for blood pressure.

TheValeyard

I thought the poison was ineffective now, because the feckers have copt on. They eat a small amount of it, leave, if it makes them sick, they leave it.... Or that could be rats.

Could it be that someone told you it was poison, but it was in reality just cheese?
