Mouse Poison: Baits for house mice
House mice nibble at everything they find and contaminate food and feed with droppings and urine. When traps are no longer enough for a larger population, mouse poison is an effective addition. The baits act with a delay and so gradually reach every animal in a group. You place them in small mouse bait boxes that fit neatly against walls and into corners.
Mice feed differently from rats
Mice are curious and nibble small amounts in many places instead of filling up at one spot. So it is better to spread several small bait points a few metres apart than to put out one large one. Grain baits such as BromaCereal, RatStop DF Cereal or envu Brumolin Forte made from oat flakes suit the taste of these seed eaters. Paste baits such as Cit BrodiPads and Rodilon Paste have a strong scent, and weatherproof block baits such as RatStop DF Block suit damp cellars and outbuildings. All baits work against both mice and rats.
Safety in house and loft
Mouse poison is a biocide and belongs only in closed bait stations that children, pets and livestock cannot open. Do not place the boxes right next to food or feed troughs. Read the instructions for use before laying bait and follow the information on the pack, because different rules on buying and using it apply depending on the country and product. Check the stations regularly and remove dead mice wearing gloves. To stop a new infestation, keep stores in sealed containers.
Frequently asked questions
Which mouse poison do mice take most readily?
Mice are seed eaters and particularly like grain and oat flake baits. In rooms full of grain, a paste bait adds variety because its scent is stronger. Offer several small bait points rather than one big one.
Where should I put mouse bait boxes?
Mice run along walls and stay within a small radius of their nest. Place the boxes right against the wall, in corners, behind cupboards and close to droppings. Keep the boxes just a few metres apart.
Why are there still mice after putting out bait?
The baits act with a delay, so it takes a few days before you see results. Check whether the bait is being eaten and top it up. If it stays untouched, the box is probably off the runs or there is too much other food around.
Buy mouse poison for home and farm
House mice in the pantry, the grain store or the hen house breed quickly, and within a few weeks a single pair becomes a whole family. With the right mouse poison you also reach animals that hide well from traps and avoid them. Here you can buy grain baits, oat flake baits, pastes and weatherproof blocks that mice readily accept. Because mice nibble small amounts in many places, spread several small portions in bait boxes along the walls. The stations stay closed and out of reach of children, cats, dogs and livestock. Read the instructions for use before you start, as different rules apply depending on the country and product. Keep stores in sealed containers as well, and you will protect food, seed and animal feed reliably from mice all year round.
