MouseX Bait Pellets, All-Natural Poison Free Humane Rat and Mouse Rodenticide Pellets, 1 lb. Bag - EcoClear Products

Works really well. Had it up for only a few days and it was a big hit with the mice. The mice dehydrate and dry up. I have seen them outside around the yard. I used peanut butter powder to coat them.

The one thing that I hate about living on a farm are the mice. Dear Lord the mice! I feel like we're in a constant uphill battle against mice at all times. They're wiley, too, and often manage to eat peanut butter off the traps without the benefit of dying in the process. I finally broke down and bought this product figuring I really didn't have much to lose. I've been hesitant to use bait for the safety of our dogs BUT these are safe for use around pets so we gave it a shot. After reading a ton of other reviews I did opt to dust the bait with peanut butter powder which worked GREAT (just spray the inside of a ziploc sandwich bag with cooking spray, fill the bag half full with pellets, and shake to coat with spray; then open the bag back up, put in a few teaspoons of peanut butter powder, and shake again to coat the pellets)!!! We put small paper plates down in various places with pellets on them and waited. The plates in the garage were completely empty the next day, which was both impressive and horrifying at the same time (how many mice do we have???). Any plates that were empty got replenished...and we continued to wait. The feasting tapered off after the first day or two, which was this past weekend....it's now Wednesday and mouse evidence has greatly diminished. We've had a few very sickly looking mice on glue traps (I know people complain about glue traps being inhumane but I honestly just don't care anymore) the last 24 hrs, which is nice as that means less dying in the walls and whatnot. I say all of the above for this purpose...if you're at your wits end and/or being overrun by mice, give the product a shot (order cheap PB powder at the same time). It's working for us. Good luck!

This did not work when used as directed because the mice wouldn't even eat it. I had been overrun with mice at my previous residence and I like to try to keep the stray cats, wildlife and other things that feed on mice safe from secondary poisoning. I got this stuff because I had heard a lot of good things about it from friends and at $20 it was worth it to try to get my problem under control once and for all. Well, these same mice who were not discerning in the least and would eat bars of soap, repellent sachets, trash, and even chew on chicken bones in the middle of the night would not touch this stuff for love nor money. It's almost like they knew it had something in it that would dry them up and dehydrate them. I even tried mixing it with peanut butter and they just ate around it and left the pellets. I ended up spending ten more dollars at the local feed store and bought the green blocks that actually poisoned them to death. I had no mice within three days on the competitor product and I hoped like the dickens that I didn't find any dead owls, hawks, my friendly little garden snakes, or stray cats from eating mice who had eaten the poison. It's a great idea in theory but my suggestion would be to make these in some kind of a flavor that will actually entice the mice. For some reason, as I said, I had to go with an actual poison product that actually was infused with something to attract them and make them eat it. This just did not do the job, and I am sorry about that.

I’m not sure as to how this is supposed to work, but it isn’t working.

We have mice that hang around our chicken coop and occasionally make their way into our house. I pay for professional services—setting bait houses and a regular visit to monitor how much they’re eating, etc. But the problem is, the mice generally go for the chicken feed and only go for the bait houses in areas further from the chicken coop. We put away our chickens’ food at night, but there’s always some morsels they scratch out of their container. And the mice are on it as soon as dusk falls. So there is a constant population. That’s stumped me for a while now. These pellets look very similar to the pelleted chicken feed, so I was hopeful. When I got them I placed a significant pile right in a main pathway directly under the feeding area—about which, I use five gallon buckets with a single gravity feeder opening in each. I slip the feeder tube through an opening I have in their enclosure, which allows me to keep the buckets on the outside of their cage. I then put the buckets in galvanized, steel trash cans, which are mouse proof. I have a short rectangular pedestal the buckets sit on to elevate the openings to a comfortable height for the girls. So I left pellets in front of the pedestal on the outside of the enclosure, out of the chickens’s reach. The first night, about 2/3s of the pile was gone. I replenished it—and added pellets to an old bucket I use to use as a feeder. Again the pile near the coop was well fed upon. They didn’t seem as interested in the decoy feeder. I tried setting it on the pedestal (again, in such a way as to prevent the chickens from getting it), and that worked a bit. Hard to tell if it would be more popular had I not already killed some and didn’t have a more accessible pile they could access. I think the main thing to consider is placement: put the bait in the mice’s path. If it’s not as obvious as my situation, you could potentially take video or look for areas where there’s a lot of scat. I’ve seen reviews where people coated the pellets in peanut butter powder. I haven’t tried that, but I think it could definitely increase the uptake of the bait. As a little bit of pb powder goes a long way, the cost of adding powder is minimal. It’s a hell of a lot cheaper than professional services. I canceled my subscription because the report from the last visit showed very little interest in the baits. Good luck!
