Re: Can’t see a rodent 8Mar 31, 2013 2:37 am Quote: Snail bait use to be dangerous to pets Ditto what H2O said and sorry if this sounds like a lecture, but if you have ever seen a pet suffer from ingesting snail bait it is one of the cruelest ways they could die. They stop eating and their body ejects liquid and solids (if they eat) from both ends as their organs shut down, become weak and die. I had a fabulous vet (who had police dogs among his patients) demand I phone him every 4 hours around the clock with updates as we tried to feed our dog (only a mutt) something that would cling to her insides. Many sleepless nights later we were successful, but never again. Arfur Re: Can’t see a rodent 9Mar 31, 2013 7:09 am We use baits, but put them in our roof space where there's no chance of anybody's pets getting hold of it. In the past, we've also put them behind the fridge (we don't have pets), which is a spot kids can't get to unless they're freaky super-strong mutant babies. But in the roof is my preferred spot. The other thing you could consider is getting some vented caps for your weepholes from a hardware store or online source. They allow airflow, but prevent mice getting into the wall cavities and roof from those points.

Put the baits in your roof space because that's the most likely place they nest. They only come out to find food etc and they aren't necessarily coming into the house, they will often just come out under the tiles at night and scout outside for food but go back into the roof during the day and that's why you don't necessarily see them. Do not put baits in exposed areas where pets, kids, wildlife might find it, this stuff kills anything and it needs to be treated with respect. I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 9620 2 8013 |
