Mice and Poisons

If you think you can get rid of your mouse population by feeding them poison, you surely will be mistaken. Think of it this way, if poison was the way to remove mice, then, why are they still a problem? It would be easy, and every home, office and farm would have poison baits around. The reasons are varied, but it has to do with how a mouse eats.

Mice like to drag their food back to their dens, and eat near the baby nest. They will take the entire poison box with them if they can get it there! The mouse you are working with will want to store the mouse poison in a safe spot, as it seems like great food. They do not have the ability to smell the poisons in the food bait, so that is a good thing for us, but they will take the entire baited food, and protect it with a fierce determination.

This means, your aggressive mouse will have lots of poison to himself. And, when he dies in the walls, his friends will do the same. All the while, this problem is growing, as the others are reproducing, and you have maybe removed a mouse a week.

Not only that, the poison option is a very painful death. It is inhumane to poison any living creature, and mice literally bleed to death, die in your walls, hidden corners or ceiling. When you have 4 new dead mice in that month, more flies will grow, the smell will start, and you will have over 50 new mouse babies ready to take their spots.
