Country living demands d-con as the mice move into my nice warm home for their winter... but D-con to the rescue... It works every time.... First few days out and it disseappears very quickly..... the mice eat this stuff up... then after a few days it just sits there .... so no more mice. Just have to have this if you are a country girl like me.

This product is very effective. I tried spring-traps (dangerous!), and the electronic zappers. These are effective too, but they lose their effectiveness as the rats learn to fear them. The d-Con works great. Two useful tips: First, put out a small dish of water for a few days prior to using the poison. The rats get thirsty as they die and the water brings their "remains" to a predictable location away from pets, and kids. Second, allow for undiscovered remains and their smell. Choose a site with some ventilation. It should be noted that while I got most of my rats, they have learned to fear the poison. Still, it's much better now.

D-Con worked as promised in ridding my house of mice. The small square containers have peel-off foil lids that are easy to use -- just peel them back to remove, and set the little plastic tray filled with blue nuggets on the floor or on a shelf in strategic places where there is evidence of mouse activity. The mice seem to like the taste of the blue nuggets, and eat it heartily. They keep coming back for more, but after a few days they die. I had more mice than I realized. I thought there were two, but there ended up being six. Be sure to place the poison in places where you are certain your pets will not go so that they will not ingest the poison. I put one behind the bread box on the kitchen counter, because there were signs that mice were going behind the bread box to defecate. Also, on the fireplace mantle where there were signs of mice activity; on a floor in a corner behind a livingroom chair, and on the second floor in an area beside a TV stand where I saw a mouse hide. My very old cat never goes into the places where I placed the trays. I picked up a dead mouse on the basement stairs one morning, and found others in other places over time and disposed of them. This product really does work. It takes several days, but you will clearly see that the poison is being consumed, and before too many days you will no longer have an infestation.

I put these out and started finding dead mice within a week. I only needed a few of the containers in this package. The next year when one came back, I just put some powdered sugar on the existing containers, and soon found the carcass. Did the job.

DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE DOGS. Unbeknownst to us, our dog got into the bait that we had hidden in the backyard. He did not show symptoms of poisoning until it was too late. d-Con not only kills rats but any other animal that ingests it. USE THIS PRODUCT WITH EXTREME CAUTION!

Product may kill if the rats will eat it. I watch the rats walk right past this product. Trays are easy to spill and if uses outside the pellets will foam with moisture.
After a four day observation I went to store and found other product that was eaten immediately. BY, BY RATS.
