OP why not try the black pepper? It's cheap. Also I saw online people used chili pepper as well. I guess it'd have something to do with their sense of smell?

Agree with not touching the bait. Use latex gloves. Peanut butter is the best bait I have ever used with glue traps. The trick is to use about a pinhead amount. Don't know why.. if it is something in their psychology, Put a big dollop of peanut butter, they don't touch it, put a tiny spec, they will go for it every time. Also, modify your spring traps. Buy a bunch of cheap traps, sand down the mechanism and lube with a little coconut oil. Do not reuse traps as they will run away from the scent.

Take out your garbage every night, whether it is full or not. If any of your kids in diapers, carry the diapers out to the side of the road for collection immediately. Don't keep the bags in/around the house.

Been rat/ mouse free since last rainy season. Bracing for this one.

Our rats too smart for that

I used two types of bait. I dont know which worked. One was coloured corn and rice grains and next one was pink pellets.
After abt 2 wks the few mice were seen running around and dying.

[pugboy]

all of the poisons are basically the same,
wayfarin blood thinner based
causes them to bleed internally and dry out which is why you see them running around slowly looking for water

Had a rat problem a few months ago but my puppy killed them all and buried them ... .-.

Now find one dead..not sure if he ate the stormbait but good news regardless

How you baiting the traps? The last time I dealt with one of those fellers, he kept stealing the bait. I tied the bread and peanut butter to the bait hook on the trap. Needless to say that was the end of him. Traps kinda messy though. Blood splattered everywhere.

I can definitely say no to that fabric.

Every so often people let go stray cats in the area, and some tend to be rat hunters. When them in the area rate does be scarce. Until people throw rat poison and kill out the cats, and then I have to wait for a next set of stray cats.

[azoturbo]

Wax block rat poison n paste some peanut butter on it

[supercharged turbo]

Throw some storm bait yesterday and some sardine with lanate the night before.I see they eat out most of the sardines and storm bait.Not seeing them running as much these days.

[pugboy]

Nice, hold up on the bait until Weekend

[supercharged turbo]

Would do

[carmelo]

i tried this and have been using it since.... a small plate or plastic lid with cornmeal and cement mixed when they eat it and drink any liquid the cement will bind in their stomach and kill them. many years ago there were rats running in the yard and that is what we used and in a few days none were seen.

Had a Guyanese mason doing some work for me last year. The man say in Guyana they catch one mouse, paint him a bright colour (yellow, blue etc) and then release him. He goes to the den and the other mice having never seen such a colour mouse before all run away.

Maybe Triad could confirm.
