To use rat poison simply place the rat poison on the floors and behind counters, fridges, cabinets etc or where the rats are hanging around.

The rats will eat the rat poison and then go back to the nest and die.

You can also place the rat poison in a shallow bowl that you will use for only rat poison.

To make homemade rat poison, combine 1 cup of flour or cornmeal with 1 cup of sugar and a powdered chocolate mix then add 1 cup of baking soda.

Mix it very well. Fill some jar lids with the poison and put it where you can find rat droppings.

Monitor the area until you no longer see any sign of rat infestation.

D Con mouse poison is a type of poison that mice are attracted too.

The mice then eat the D Con mouse poison and then go back to their nests and die eventually.

The D Con mouse poison prevents clotting of the mouses blood so the mouse bleeds internally which then causes death of the mouse.

Rats and Mice may consume a lethal dose in one feeding, with the first dead rodents appearing 4 or 5 days after feeding begins.

One of the most common rodenticides in the United States, transitioned from anticoagulant active ingredients such as brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difethiolone, and diphacinone to cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3).

After ingesting a lethal dose of poison, a mouse may die anywhere from a few hours to 1 week later, depending on the type of poison and the dosage that was consumed.

Mice that have taken poison return to their nest and die.

This may cause a smell, however, this should go after a short while depending on how warm the nest is.

Nests are difficult to locate so it is not recommended that you attempt to remove them.

It is essential to repair mouse damage to prevent further infestations.

If you start to smell dead mice then the mouse poison worked and then you should try finding the mouse or mice to get rid of the smell.

Simply dispose of the dead mouse or mice in the trash can and wash your hands after handling.
