Tomcat Mouse Killer Refillable Bait Station 8 x 28 g

Details

A refillable station is the right choice once you accept that mouse control is a season-long job rather than a weekend. The station is a durable housing you keep and reposition, and you feed it refills as they are consumed — which works out cheaper per gram than disposables and produces far less plastic over a few years. The other advantage is that a refillable station is built to be secured. Most designs can be locked closed and anchored down, which keeps a determined dog from carrying it off and keeps bait inaccessible to children and non-target animals. That is exactly what regulations are aiming at when they require bait to be used in tamper-resistant stations rather than placed loose. Eight refills is a real supply for one or two stations through a fall and winter. Here is the thing worth knowing though: with mice, more stations matters more than more bait. Their territories are small, so a station has to be where they already live. Set it flush against a wall in a place with droppings or gnawing, and consider running a second station in a separate area rather than putting all eight refills through one location. Check the bait level every week or two at first. Bait disappearing fast means a bigger population than you thought; bait untouched for two weeks means the station is in the wrong place, not that the mice are gone. Read the label for the active ingredient and keep the packaging. Vitamin K1 from a veterinarian treats anticoagulant poisoning; some other rodenticide chemistries have no easy antidote. Call a vet or poison centre immediately if a pet or child gets into bait, and pick up dead mice daily so cats, dogs and owls do not eat them.
