I put this product out in the morning and by the following morning the mouse was dead and it didn’t even manage to exit the bait box. I am so relieved.
I had a single mouse that had taken residence under the kitchen sink cabinet and couldn’t be reached. I placed the units nearby in an area inaccessible for my dogs. 24 hours later I walked into the kitchen to find a floundering mouse struggling to get about. To be kind I put it out of its misery rather than wait. In short, it worked quickly and effectively so I can only recommend it based on my positive experience.
Blimey, really impressed with this! Spotted poop in kitchen cupboard Sunday, ordered this as well as plug-in sonic pest repellers and both delivered Monday by the magic of Prime!
Deployed both bait boxes by 6:30pm, pottered around in kitchen until maybe 8:30?
Went back into kitchen around 11pm and there was a dead mouse lying not 3 feet from the bait box! I’d call that a result – would defo recommend this produc
Put it where I thought there was activity last night around 10pm this morning less than 12 hours later one dead mouse!!
The only issue I can see is that I can’t get the dead one out of it so will have to throw it away but read another reviewer who said to open the trap before using so that you can open it easier if a mouse gets stuck.
Now this is just what the doctor ordered! Arrived quickly and as described. Bait boxes containing bait that are ready to be set immediately you have removed them from the box. I’m now all set to give those mices a taste of the good stuff. Let’s hope they enjoy.
I would recommend these for anyone who is looking for a cheap and very easy solution to a mouse problem.
For several weeks, we could hear mice in the loft space at night. We have two separate loft spaces, so I placed one of these just inside each hatch.
The sound of the mice quickly stopped. Having checked the boxes today, one box contained a dead mouse, the other was empty of poison but was full of mouse droppings. I can safely conclude that they work.
The only comment I would make is that I would only wish to place these out of reach of pets or children. A dog could quite easily crunch into one of these boxes and eat the contents.
I hope it does work and really this brand usually their stuff does.The only thing i was dissapointed is i could hear how the amazon delivery man thrown my package,i have a ring so no ring was pressed.this is the second time that AMAZON does a very odd delivery as i tried to call it went dead ………surprise
Update! Couldnt wait overnight for more to be delivered so I removed the poison and rolled it up into little balls and placed them strategically around the kitchen floor with chopped up sunflower seeds rolled in. In the morning I found two more dead mice!! They’d ignored the mouse traps but gone for these. Obviously wouldnt recommend removing the poison from the boxes if you have small kids or pets.
This time of year mice breed frequently and can give birth every ten weeks having 10-14 in a litter. So if you have them in your property this can become a problem quickly. Humane traps will not be effective.
I ordered this on Friday received on the Sunday and put them out around the shed. I was not expecting much. Today Monday the day after putting them out, both boxes had been used with one having 3 dead mice in it. To be honest I was not expecting this at all. I couldn’t open it so had to throw that one away.
I did however work out how to open the second box using a flathead screwdriver to move the locking clips inside. I have refilled that box with new bait and put it back in the same location where I found the dead mice. When refilling make sure you wear gloves. You can get replacement boxes for around 1.99 at most DIY stores or online.
I am hoping this is the only time I have to do this, as I have said this product is extremely effective and does as described.
Live in rural location and need a means of killing house mice safely as have a dog. Have tried many types of killer and this one has been best. Dog can’t get contents. Some other brands boxes seem to leak the bait when the mice pull at it. Similarly pasta bait placed in lockable boxes attracts mice but they can pull it out of box.
The two big downsides are either the mice eat the bait and then die somewhere unseen and the smell can be awful till tracked down or they die in the box and the box has to be thrown. This can be expensive.
Have tried humane traps which can work, but the dog often sniffs them which closes the trap.
Thought we had caught it after leaving this in the area where we noticed the initial droppings until we realised a cupboard on the other side of the kitchen was also an affected area. Plugged up holes at the back of that cupboard and the next morning found another one dead, near the bait.
Placed another behind a bin near the cupboard and again found one the next morning but this had died inside the bait box so I just threw the whole box out.
So that’s 3 it has dealt with – I have ordered more as it seems we may have a bigger problem than first thought, have also ordered mouse traps that will contain the body (can be reused or thrown) and an electronic repellent, which I really hope works as I don’t want to have to a)keep killing and b) disposing.
My dad came to visit a couple of months ago and whilst staying said he had seen a mouse in my flat. He bought two standard mouse traps and I’ve set them and left them down a few times and no results so I thought maybe he’d imagined it or the mouse had gotten bored and left. I reset them last week before going away for the weekend and when I got back on Sunday the clever little mouse had managed to eat the cheese and peanut butter without setting off the trap!
I’d actually bought the Rentokill product a month ago but as I thought the mouse had gone I didn’t use it. I put both of them out last night around 10pm and by this morning at 6.30am the mouse was dead, hooray. It must have gone into the tube and then tried to get back under the sofa but whatever is in the bait boxes worked quickly as I found the dead mouse a couple of metres away. I’m going to leave the bait boxes out for the next few days, just in case there are any more mice about (seriously hoping there isn’t!)
Very pleased with this product and it does exactly what it says, would recommend to anyone and would buy again if I have another little furry visitor!
These did exactly what they’re meant to. They killed the mice that ate them.
Unfortunately the mice do take longer to die that I was expecting (I found a mouse that had been killed by the poison looking like it was dead, but when picking it up, it twitched)
Biggest issue though is that you have to look around for dead mice – they might not be where the poison is, and if you don’t spot where it’s gone to die, you’ll know about it through the smell
Personally I’ve moved to the mouse traps now as you know if there’s a dead mouse because there’s only one place it’ll be.
We knew it would happen sooner or later – we live in the country, and the neighbours had warned us that mice were a common problem. When we heard scuffling in the roof, and found a bag of dog kibble gnawed at, it was time to take action, especially with the house currently on the market. I feel I should mention that I love small animals – I have gerbils and chinchillas, who are spoiled rotten, but they are invited guests in my house, unlike the mice. It did seem a little contradictory to be so determined to wipe them all out!
We put down bait blocks (They actually stole the ones which weren’t nailed down, and nibbled at the others), packs of rodent pasta, but still heard the little blighters scuffling about.
Then we bought these. I was encouraged to hear gruesome stories of mice being found dead metres from these because the poison worked so quickly. Within 24 hours, the scuffling had stopped, and the bait blocks hadn’t even been nibbled, while the green “icing” in these had been chomped into a little.
I’m quite convinced that these were the catalyst to see the mice off the premises. Bait blocks are good, bait boxes are fine, but these little beauties did the trick for us.
We have used traditional traps with some success but as it only breaks the back of any one mouse at a time it feels a bit like using a rifle when you should be using a machine gun.
These traps are the schizznit I can tell you. I placed my wife in the spare room on a chair and then left the traps strategically placed where I thought they may amble once they smelt her. Mice as we know are strongly attracted to fear and my wife has a lot of fear. Christ she has to change her gruds if the postman winks at her. I digress.
My wife sat as bait for not much more than twenty minutes before the ‘Scout mice’ were dispatched. They sniffed around and then retreated and to be honest I thought they’d smelt a rat. It was all good, they had just popped home to tell the others and five minutes later they all emerged and I mean all of them. I had given the wife quite a lot of booze so she didn’t fidget or talk so she remained reasonably quiet whilst she was encircled by the hoard. Now here was the magic bit, they couldn’t get enough of the tasty poison, they literally clambered over each other to get at the stuff. At the height of the poisoning the traps were completely obscured by the writhing mass of feasting mouse. At this point I gently poked my wife’s lower chin with my house stick and she came too with a splutter, poor boot was too far gone to even realize what was occurring around her fat ankles. We slipped out and left the mice to feast.
THE NEXT PART HAS HARROWING DETAILS OF MY SUCCESS
I left it sometime before returning, for not much reason other than that I guess it feels rude to walk in on someone when they are probably foaming at the mouth and rolling around gripping their tummy. I cracked the door open and peeped inside. OMG people, OMG! It was devastation on a near biblical level I tell you. There was a long snaking line of mice, two by two heading for the hole in skirting board. At it’s head and closest to their hole was a single young mouse, arm outstretched wincing and very dead. Behind him there was more, my eyes tracked along till I spotted a little lady mouse with a tattered head scarf, clutched in her arms were her two baby mouses. Further along again was an old mouse with a whiskery chin and a walking stick, dead. The fat Mayor Mouse? Dead and covered in his own mousey sick.
It was a mousey apocalypse, genocide, mass murder – whatever you want to call it, I had killed them all and in one mighty move of my god like hand. I shall never do this again, with great power comes great responsibility and in my case that meant I had to sweep them up, my wife wouldn’t have a stick of it, ‘You kill ’em, you clean ’em up’
To finish, Mice have personalities and are adorable, especially when they wear little clothes or have a bike or juggle. These traps are so effective I think they should be on the U.N wmd s*** list. I flushed fifty four mouse victims that day, except the adorable Library Mouse with a cardigan and glasses, that one is in a match box I have put in the shed. I’ve called it Specky and I love it.
To part, poison is something you can only give and not take back.
Ok, the box came with two baited boxes in, great, I put each under the floor boards and at different ends of the room that day, on the run’s that we suspected the mice were travelling along. The next morning, as the instructions had correctly predicted, we found one dead mouse inside one of the boxes, easily removed, another dead mouse was above the floorboards in the room, but not far distance from where the other bait box was. Ok. Result! and only after 1 night.
We then placed the box that had had the dead mouse in, back to where it had been, the other box stayed where it was as it appeared un-visited. We then went all around the outside of our home, stuffing even the slightest crack with the wire wool we had bought and went to bed that night hoping that any more critters ‘trapped’ in the house, would be dealt with by the bait boxes and this was only night 2.
I checked the boxes under the floorboards this morning… the one that had had a deceased mouse in was exactly the same, nothing. The other box, that had appeared untouched, had me so freaked out, I took a photo of it with my mobile phone. It had been completely filled with small stones, so that nothing could get in and eat the bait ! And by small stones, I mean about the size of a mouse, neatly pushed in one by one, until the stones reached the exit holes and even had stones beyond stacked up to the holes. This has freaked us out. Is there a master mouse that has worked out that it’s poison in there and filled it with stones so none of it’s thicko’ mates can enter?
From being really pleased that this bait box works, I’m now thinking of leaving a note instead to ask the mice to please leave, as clearly, we have a higher intelligence at work here. I SO hope Rentokil reads this and responds.
Worked a treat!
One thing to be aware of however is that the active ingredient works best if it’s slightly cooler at ground level. This is because it works by knocking the rodent out and allowing hypothermia to set in and basically they never wake up.
If the ground temperature is quite high however (unlikely in a British Summer) there is a chance the rodent can wake up as if nothing had happened. Since most rodents like the safety of night time travel this is unlikely to be a problem as the ground temperature drops dramatically during the night even during the hotter one or two day we get.
It just worth bearing in mind when you place your trap to avoid hotter areas, and be prepared for the trap to work is magic a little slower than expected during the hotter months.
Then on to this trap, it is easy to use a seems a very good idea. In use the bait seemed to be taken and rustling in loft stopped. However over a month later noticed droppings and bite out of cereal bag in kitchen. Next day all bait gone from trap and a dead big fat mouse lay 6 inches away!
I will definitely buy more, but although I have given it 5 stars that in truth is that it is better than the alternatives tried, I am not convinced it is perfect.
PS also tried ultrasound but my wife could not stand the noise, I did not hear it myself and look at her very closely when she ate cheese. However, seriously, people with good hearing (ie better than the manufacturer’s)need to be warned.
This one works and quickly. As other reviewers have said – it’s easy and hygienic – the bait is sealed inside – safe. It works (the mice want the bait) and it works quickly so the dead mouse or mice is usually very close to the trap, so you can remove them and not have dead mice rotting behind the fridge or other concealed places. I understand it kind of stuns them and sedates them before the poison kicks in, which seems less cruel than other methods so I can go with that. Although have to say it is still a bit squeemish finding a mouse frozen in its tracks looking alive, but dead. But a lot better than the nasty poison or seeing them impaled and thrashing around on the spike of a traditional trap.
Highly recommended.
Update: I still recommend this product, however, this time they haven’t worked – so either we have something bigger than a mouse (!) or the mice have become immune to this particular poison. So have got the electronic rat trap that electrocutes them (works for mice too). Will update on what we catch with this. Still think this product is worth trying first as it is cheap and effective. (But too small to catch a rat). Whatever we have this time has climbed onto the dining room table and stolen three apples and a kiwi fruit in the last two days! (No other food in the room) And just played football with the fast action mouse killer. However we have found a hole in the floor where central heating pipes come in and it is recommended to block holes as well as set traps. So if you are using the fast action mouse killer – wait till you find no more dead mice then look around for an entry point (a hole somewhere) and block it up so you don’t get them back again.
Update same day: Caught a rat in electronic trap – so if this sealed mouse bait doesn’t work for you – try setting something that will catch the big boys! I am totally freaked out by catching a rat – but the electronic rat trap worked well (I used melted chocolate rather than peanut butter).
