The d - CON product line includes traps and baits for use around the home for trapping and killing rats and mice. Trusted for Over 60 Years. Do mice take poison back nest? They won't bring the poison back to their nest and kill the others. A mouse or two or even half a nest may die, but if the other half doesn't take the poison, you did little to remedy the problem. What is the best mouse poison? Runner Up. These large chunks are great for a variety of applications.
Will Dcon kill cats? My cats get so weary of chasing mice, they get to the point of just sitting and watching them. The rodenticides, such as D-Con, are very effective when placed around mouse areas. Some of that may be myth, but the bait certainly does kill mice. The problem is that it will kill your pet as well. Do dead mice attract other mice? Advice I learned from an exterminator: Do not use Decon inside your house, mice will eat it then crawl into your walls to die.
But only if you do not have nearby cats, because if they come across a poisoned mouse and eat it , they too will become poisoned. A pea-size amount of mouse trap bait is just right — enough to attract mice , but not so much that they can eat it without springing the trap. Instead: Make Them Comfortable First Mice are naturally wary of new objects in the areas they frequent. These poisons are not considered to be humane due to their toxic effects including difficulty breathing, weakness, vomiting, bleeding gums, seizures, abdominal swelling and pain.
In addition, the body of the poisoned rodent may present a risk if it is eaten by other animals, including native wildlife. Outdoors, mice nest beneath dense underbrush, tall grass, or thick shrubbery.
Inside a home, mice usually build their dens in undisturbed, enclosed spaces, including: Drawers — An unused sliding drawer filled with paper provides the perfect spot for a mouse nest. FACT: No known rodenticide will cause rats or mice to leave a structure after consuming it. Anti-coagulants such as the bromadiolone found in Contrac All-Weather Blox Rodenticide will generally cause death within four to ten days of consumption, but there is no guarantee as to where the rodents will die.
D-con is bait. Exterior bait stations will at least attract rodents that are in the area surrounding the house. Many mice become so desperate that they chew off their own limbs in an attempt to free themselves. Poisoning causes a painful death to mice and any cats, dogs, or other animals who either ingest the poison by mistake or eat the bodies of rodents who have been poisoned.
My cats get so weary of chasing mice, they get to the point of just sitting and watching them. The rodenticides, such as D-Con , are very effective when placed around mouse areas. Some of that may be myth, but the bait certainly does kill mice. The problem is that it will kill your pet as well. Hantavirus is carried by rodents, particularly deer mice. The virus is found in their urine and feces, but it does not make the animal sick.
It is believed that humans can get sick with this virus if they breathe in contaminated dust from mice nests or droppings. Living in America is getting more and more frustrating. I just checked eBay. You can get D-con and some very effective products from England and Australia. Good luck! It's a rat infested jungle out there!!!
Laura Vaughn November 4, PM. Nothing else is working even our dog is in and out of the bed waking us up cause she hears the RATS!!! This is a bunch of crap. Weve always used Dcon RAT Poision and it's always worked so good and now we're being kept awake because this new stuff just ain't working at all,I don't care what the EPA says,if they can get something out here that will kill the RATS like Dcon did well I'm all for it but I won't know until we have something like Dcon out there and we be glad to sign a piece of paper saying we brought the Dcon RAT Poision.
Charmany Smith December 2, AM. Fred Walters November 7, PM. You know this stuff really worked good I got some last year and went this year looking for more and find they pulled it!!!
Anything that works they get rid of I bought some other stuff that's like a small block the mice don't even look at it or eat it. I don't like mice bugs or anything else eating my food how would you like to go to make you a sandwich and find the bread you just ate had a mouse in the bag there is a lot more damage these mice do then that also. This stuff needs to be brought back.
Markie November 11, PM. I have purchased the New and Improved version I still see the critters zooming around corners and hear them chewing behind my radiators Maybe I'll cook up my own poison. Have to get busy on the web and see what is out there. Greg November 11, PM. Just look online for the 5 gallon bucket mouse trap. Use antifreeze in cold climates. James November 13, PM.
A few cases have been confirmed in America this year in If we are left with no way of effectively killing rats and mice numbers could increase. The song "Ring around the Rosie" is from Ring around the rosie pocket, full of posey, all fall down.
A rosie was the red lesion on the skin. Posey was flowers thought to be a possible preventive. All fall down is self explanatory. Thank you government I will not be purchasing any more of this product because the new product doesn't work! Anything that works "they" ban! Julie Trujillo November 30, PM.
Please allow D CON to bring back the effective mice and rat killer!!!!!!! I live on a limited income, and I have bought several types of supposedly killer ha ha they don't work. I have never had mice in my house this long, can't seem to get rid of them, they seem to be multiplying faster than I can catch them, again big blunder by the government.
I need help Debbie December 4, PM. The rats are attracted to the chicken feed and eggs and they bite the chickens to get at it. I will be losing the battle without DCON. The rats in the government have won again! Diane Peterson December 14, AM.
I believe that the EPA personnel should be forced to live in a country home that has issues with mice. The new d-Con products don't work and neither does Tom Cat brand. What must we do to get the pellets back on the market so we don't have to be exposed to mouse droppings that can be harmful to our health?
Ed December 17, PM. Best stuff I ever used, and now removed from the market. Follows on the path of the light bulb debacle. Allowing these idiots to determine how we protect ourselves from disease and damage to home and health prods us to make real change in the manner in which we are governed. The sooner these fools are replaced by common sense, the better off we will be.
Yeah Right December 18, AM. I live in the country in Hawaii and I have to think that the people who banned this have no clue as to what people have to deal with. I have battled rats the size of cats here for years and the d-con pellets are the only thing that lets me stay ahead of them. I have had rats eat right through the heater vents in my truck to see what was inside. They eat through five gallon buckets, trash cans, the walls, the roof, chicken wire, and even climb the fruit and avocado trees and eat a little bit of each fruit, they even eat the ends out of coconuts and then eat the inside, at least a few bites of each one.
All this can be stopped with a few strategically placed trays of pellets. Strategically placed so that children, pets, and livestock don't get sick. People who think you can just use traps are evidently from a different planet than me. I'm very sad to see d-con pellets go. Feels like bits and pieces of America are slipping away to people who don't appear to know anything about Americans. Sort of like the old story of government officials wanting to fire all the cattle guards in the west to save money.
If you don't know what a cattle guard is then you should not be making rules about them. Do we really have to be protected completely to death? You know if the government put us all in jars and froze us it would cost much less to feed us, nobody would go around getting hurt and all the little animals and fish would be safe from us bad humans.
Government officials could get a free pass to use d-con so that the rats would not eat the electrical cables to our freeze jars and they know how to use it responsibly, so you know everything would be wonderful.
You have to ask yourself, what is really going on here, who and what is this really for? What is the real goal? Why systematically destroy American companies, products that work and drive out cash flow? Thank you d-con Nazi patrol. E December 18, PM. Bring back the pellets!!
This new stuff is not working. They do not even go into the box to eat the stuff. Plus it's not green anymore it's now brown. Why the coklor change? It's been around for years and working well now they want to change it. Ever hear of "Don't fix it if it ain't broken. Jeff December 22, PM. Once again EPA goes too far, another stupid democrat idea office is bloated, they need to keep busy because no one will hire him with the dumbass degrees they have , I have had this crap out for six months it hasn't even been gnawed on, thanks EPA, jerks.
I guess I'll have to resort to the snap traps which end up killing more birds than rats. Bruce Binion December 27, PM. I have used D-Con for years with my cattle operation; never had any problems with cats or owls or anything else who might have eaten poisoned mice. If I had a problem, I would have had to re-think what I was doing. Mine is a natural herd operation so I am concerned about all parts of the environment. I think the EPA should supply everyone with barn owls at no cost for mice and eagles for rats.
Apparently that is where these government folks lacking in common sense want us to go. Be smart read all directions and do any extra steps necessary when using a pest control then it won't get banned for people who actually need the product it's common sense. Susan Wirths December 31, PM. As always, if you find something that works you had better buy enough to last a lifetime because they will quit making it.
Get real people. This is poison and you treat it as such. You don't put It where children and animals can access it. I have used it for many years and have raised children and grandchildren and had a dog in the house for thirteen years.
I am so upset that it no longer is available. Daryl Schulz January 4, PM. I need the envelopes with poison in them. I can't get close to some of the places that I need poison to be so I can throw the envelopes where I want them. If you throw the bait stations they come open. Have a package of rat poison beside my washer. It has not been touched.
It has been there over 5years not touched,still there- tomcat. Was placing d con boxes there. D con always gone. Are the green balls still being sold?. Steve January 5, PM. Its January 5, and the ground is still barely frozen. No snow YET, despite the loons who argue global warming, claiming record snow falls over the midwest. My mouse problem is totally out of control. Now they are in places I never found them in years prior. Global warming, or what have you, we have more mice attacking more buildings, cars, assets than ever.
I searched every store, and no more pellets in trays. They worked vastly better than any other product of all the brands and versions of cubes out there. Thank you EPA for your myopic principled ridiculous rules that have nothing to do with wildlife inside my buildings and everything to do with people control. This policy ruins the results of all my labor and toil. It negates anything I ever tried to accomplish, as the mice destroy property and make it uninhabitable.
What good does a gun do when the government advocates for mouse protection? May disease and devastation rule! Ruth Newsome January 12, AM. As others have pointed out rats and mice spread disease. Recently we have people dead from camping in Yosemite because of mice and people catching the plague out west from rodents.
The population of London was decimated in the middle ages by the plague which was spread through rats. This is insane getting rid of the one product that works. I am assuming it is another Obama plan to reduce the population and this one is guaranteed to work. I just hope it backfires and gets some of the elite.
I live in Florida and we get fruit rats this time of year. I have always used D-Con and raised 5 children a herd of collies and several cats without incident. Fred January 19, AM. We should do unto others as we would have them do unto us-and HAVE done to us. Someone should find a way to capture a few dozen rats, the rodent type-not the EPA personnel type and deliver these captured lovely little pets to the local EPA office as a gift.
Then open the box for them as you leave. Also be generous and remember to bring the best product the EPA says works and give that as a gift also. Maybe, just maybe, someone there might understand our predicament and re-think their actions. Lynn nelson January 22, PM. I don't have any children, pets or wildlife within my locked house. Why can't I have pellets that work and show if a critter has been eating?
Billie January 29, PM. All the stuff on the market now is just desert to the Rats. I want my d-con back. I hate your new stuff the mice are not dying they eat it and come back have used 3 bags of it, doesn't work like the pellets did. I could use one tray and find the dead mice in 20 minutes of eating it. I am going to try some other product. I have used your product for over 15 years, not now.
Leona February 1, PM. Kay February 1, PM. This is great news. Every poison should have an antidote. Especially if someone's child or pet should get into it. You can watch them all the time, but somehow they always manage to get into something. Accidents happen and thanks to Vitamin K being the antidote for my dog getting poisoned, she is still with us today.
People just love to complain about crap until it happens to them.. Kidney explosion should NOT be a side effect of such popular poison that's sold in a card board box Lets be real people. James Garnache February 2, PM. Give me a break! I have had a rat problem in one of my rental properties recently and have been searching high and low for the blue pellets that have always done the trick.
Figured it must have been discontinued for some reason so finally googled. This IS bullshit. Thank you EPA for making our lives harder to control diseased, plague carrying f'ing rats! Sorge February 6, PM. I'm sick and tired of people boo-hoo'ing about decon killing pets or poisoning children. Decon was the ONLY thing on the market that actually worked.
Everything else Tomcat is garbage, don't waste your money. There is some still on Ebay, where I have been buying in bulk!!! All I can hope is that the next administration reigns in this EPA nonsense. Please put the pellets back on the market or at least put it in the "safe bait stations: the new stuff doesn't work!!! You cannot legislate for stupidity. The EPA is an unregulated loose cannon and needs reined in, we have too many rules and regulations now!!
Michael M. Clark February 14, AM. I live on a farm and have used the new stuff. I might as well just put down cheese for the mice. They eat the new stuff and multiply. So what is your solution to that? Bring back the original D-CON. What can we do people? This is stupidity at its maximum. When are they making all these changes and don't they realize the consequences? I had no idea that the real mouse poison was going to be discontinued.
All these other products are just a waste of money. I agree with all the comments. I have a problem with mice and voles in my yard and have had very good results in using juicy fruit chewing gum.. The rats at my house are no longer afraid of me. I got up one night to go to the restroom, In the dark I made my way clicked on the light and as if galloping across the floor in front of me was a RAT a big one, bad as I had to go he got there first.
I backed out the door and screamed for somebody Please let me know if there is something, I can get that works. Brian March 14, PM. I stocked up well before the ban! Mouse poison, bug killer, weed killer Which I might add, I stocked up on watt! This is exactly what happens when you have a society full of tree hugging, crybaby, bleeding heart Liberals. Dawn May 26, AM. Karina April 26, PM. Without good rat and mice killing pellets we will all have fat and happy mice and rats, maybe we can capture the mice and rats and ship them to the Environmental Protection Agency and let them dispose of them or keep them as pets.
Are there house trained cats? Belinda Seefeldt April 9, AM. We, too, are not happy with this being taken off the market. It is sad that every time we find something that works on , in this instance, mice, the EPA takes it away.
The same thing happened with a mosquito spray we used to use. They are really getting under my skin! Carolyn Balt April 15, PM. I, too, am seriously irritated by your taking this product off the market. Anything else I have used since the recall has NOT worked at all. I have been told that I can get it on Amazon for almost 10 times what I was paying for the box of 4 trays.
I should have stocked up on it. Sorry, but www need to get the EPA out of our lives!!!!! Joe Amato May 3, AM. Please put Dcon rat poison back. Rats destroyed my house. Mary Veldran May 4, PM. Well we have tried this new Dcon mouse killing product. We now have mice upon mice eating,urinating,pooping and destroying everything in our house.
I do realize children and other animals were affected by the old formula, but this stuff does not work at all. Linda May 10, PM. Mary May 24, AM. Never had a rat problem until summer Suddenly they have infested our home and yard in counrty. I have bought Tom Cat and other products from Tru Valuefor a year. The rats eat them up.. Only one dead rat found from One Bite brand but Tru Value folks at feed store say all products now the same and they are selling enormous amounts and our whole area of the county has a big rat population explosion..
They said they don't sell D-Con, have to buy it elsewhere Now I know why!! Neighbors with rat problems say to buy 24 snap traps and put them out all at once for big strike kill, but rats will recover and return.. Snap traps do work sometimes.. They are smart.. I have been told they are evolving. This has the makings of a public health disaster. This is an election year, we need to complain to our senators and congress people and state and local officials.
I just want to say Decon was used for how many years?! It did its job wellI might add, I too put "Bait Stations" out and they went untouched. We live on a farm And BTW we love animals but we are overrun with desaese ridden mice. Iam now overwhelmed i can not keep up with mouse traps. I dont understand why there are so many mice we dont have trash or food source for them but they are destroying our property!!!!!!!
Connie May 29, PM. I am so sorry this product has been recalled The bait stations are garbage and in my opinion just another scam to get more money because they do not work. Apparently the mice are not as stupid as the makers of the products. And the traps are garbage too I think we still have some set that were used last time and the mice that are back aren't falling for it either.
Not to mention most of them are faulty ando go off for no reason. The pellet trays are the only garrentee way of quickly eliminating mice from your home. I personally know from experience it's a proven fact. So now what? Let the mice infestation grow ramped, if the EPA had any kind of intelligence at all it would look back in history and see that rat and mice infestation is where the black plague stems from, they are apparently not too concerned about s9mething that will kill adults, children, dogs, cats, and spread athe a rapid uncontrollable rate Hope they figure out a better solution then the crappie bait stations and faulty traps.
Tracy June 13, AM. Whatever poison I have used I have always had great luck as long as I pour pancake syrup over it. Whether it's the bars or pellets, etc. You can even lay them on a paper plate and pour the syrup over them and it does attract the mice and rats.
One year I mixed up a batch that had peanut butter in it and finally killed a rat that had been in the walls of my home that I could catch in no other way. The mice eat it and then go back to their nest and die.
Plus these stations are resistant to tampering by children and dogs. Bonus: These bait stations are designed to squeeze into the tight spaces inside your home where mice typically spend time.
