Just get some of THESE, I have found traps to be a bit hit and miss but this stuff gets them everytime
I bait and check regular. I had chickens until a year or so ago so still dealing with the leftovers. Rats are gone but still got the little feckers under the decking. Luckily my dog lets me know where they are nesting and brings me the odd one as well.
Peanut butter or Jack Russell, but not in a trap 😀 as with carping change one thing at a time 😀 last house we had a mouse problem in garage so brought second hand metal lockers and sonic/electric mouse scarers never had a problem after that. So much so our neighbours complained to us of their mouse problem after ours cleared off 😂 we lent them some spare scarers as my Mrs bought a bulk load 👍🏻

yes !!!!!!!!!! 100%
IMHO NOTHING comes even close to the efficiency of those baited boxes after doing lots of research because of the people with wild imaginations
it turns out the Mice dont need to eat it ! they just need to LICK IT !! thats the reason each box will kill up to 50 mice so as there are 2 boxes in each pack potentially 100 mice would be killed
now the Know nothings with wild imaginations will say
but if my cat or dog eats one of the dead bodies (( they call it secondary poisoning )) it will kill it NOT TRUE ! it cannot happen IF IT COULD HAPPEN IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO PURCHASE IT AS ITS ILLEGAL NOW !!!
OOO but the dead mice will stink the place out ?
nope !!!!!!
they have very little moisture content and dry out into rock hard bodies that dont smell and in any case the bait is so fast acting they are within 1 metre of the box often they dont even get their heads out its that instant

Another vote for peanut butter

Peanut butter will work but depending on where you live you need to be careful of rats.
I use peanut butter for setting up ratting around the field. Just be careful what you put down you could get other visitors you really didn't want

I find peanut butter and Nutella equally effective, little buggers love it

I've had traps down in my garage with peanut butter and never caught one, since putting the poison boxes down I started getting the little buggers

I got these and never looked back, just find the odd mouse a few feet away sometimes but usually in the box.
Usually about the time if year they are looking to nest somewhere, no evidence of mice living there now and nothing munched on for years now.
Poor old mickey

Hi Greg
We get plagued by them down here, best deterrent if you don't want to kill them is malt vinegar.
If you couldn't care less blitz some berrocca with breadcrumb or a hard cheese and spread that about

oh that's disappointing - I was expecting a thread about 80's board games.

I have the mouse traps as recommended by Gerry in my shed. More as a precaution than a mouse problem... do they need replacing every so often, even if the green poison is still there....i.e. does the poison beco me spent after a period of time, or do they last indefinitely (as long as there is sufficient green stuff).

As they are not that expensive I buy new ones every couple of years but the mice dont need to eat it just lick it and its pretty instant thats why each box will treat up to 50 mice I dont throw the old ones away I put em in other places as a precaution my loft caravan greenhouse etc
And I bet you have not had any problems with mice since you have had them ???
