How many days does it take to kill rodents? I have been placing a handful for 4 days and every day all the nuggets are gone. Am I just feeding them?

Keep on doing it.. You probably have a large population. This Ramik stuff is the best working rat exterminator.

NO man, they are dead. Be careful because if you are feeding them, they are taking them back home to the nest and sharing. Also, if they are dead and you have found them anywhere, be careful of other animals that may eat the dead animal - because they also die.. I.E. Cats & Dogs.

I'm on my 5th bag...you have to keep feeding. It DOES work. However, you may underestimate the initial problem. I realized there were not "just a few" - but an army! The feeding frenzy does slow down and then you just maintain it until it stops. I've slowed down quite a bit, but they are still eating. I'm beginning to wonder, however, if there is rodent sign somewhere that says "PARTY OVER AT THIS HOUSE!" - I guess I will eventually see.

You are being super successful. They are eating it all and carrying it back to the nest. Keep bait trays always filled and free of moisture to keep poison potent. You just hope they get out of wherever it is you have the poison and die somewhere else. If you have mouser cats, keep them away from the potential eaters of the bait, while the feeding frenzy is ongoing.

I had the same problem 4 pounds and still NO DEAD MICE !!! I will try another more potent poison 0.005% does not kill only feed em'.

Sorry to say, but this product does not work. I went through 2 bags. All it offered was another food source. Not 1 dead mouse!

Doesn't take long at all! They may go elsewhere to die. Keep feeding them. Sounds like if all the nuggets are gone, you need to leave out "more." It WILL take care of them! I keep out A LOT!

After putting out the bait, we did not see any more ground squirrels after 3 days. Hope that is helpful.

aloha dean, unsure how long it would last. we sprinkled this product in all the spaces between the rock walls and buildings at our inn, and so far, no more mice. we've been testing it for two weeks now.

Mine did that at first but now they just eat it. Rats are hoarders by nature and usually hide their food like they are waiting for an apocalypse. It took mine a few weeks and I thought they were still hoarding it till I saw them eating it one day. Now they empty their bowls more often and really seem to like it.

All of the above, lol. I was using it but turned out mine is a rat. It didnt work. I just bought Rodent Defense for rats we'll see how that goes. I believe if it had of been mice it may have worked. Good luck with your issue.

I doubt it very much. To be sure, I would write or Email the Company. You don't want to leave this stuff lying about outside as it will poison many other animals, not just rodents.

I opened 2 at a time and put them within 5 feet of each other. Looked every day and more and more would get stuck. Only replaced them after about 5 weeks. Never thought I would get rid of these pests but can honestly and happily say I haven't seen 1 in 2 months. Think they are all gone. I used 5 in total but 4 is probably enough as long as you clean out your cabinets of wheat type boxed goods. Good luck.

This product worked well in my backyard until my husband noticed the birds thought it was a treat for them. But by then, we had found some dead rats in the places we put the bait so I stopped using it. I don't have a useful answer for you. I'm inclined to think there isn't much you can do. Hopefully you will get more help from other responders

Interesting, super rodents? Try opening bag and sprinkling it at your door openings. I use it this way every two weeks and it keeps them away. I never left mine in the bag because I wanted it in a shaker but they only had bags. My friend uses peppermint in a spray bottle he made from essential oil, he sprays his door openings and swears by it.

You just have to set them out. Mine work great. It takes a couple days. It doesnt kill the ants that come to eat it. They take the food back to the queen, she eats it and dies. Then once the queen dies, the rest of the colony will die out also.

haven't had this specific problem but it works for animals and rodents and is not harmful to them - I think I would try saturating the steps with the spray nozzle and make sure to repeat every four to six weeks or as needed until the little guy gets the idea. And, you could put some peanuts in the shell in another location and feed him so he has food. Sounds like he's hungry :) I would give this a try. Maybe bleach off the step first to get rid of any residue, make sure it is sealed and then spray it with the ropel. I should think it would work. It's the best we have found for deterring rodents.

it took two weeks before I found the rat in my yard ...dead.. I kept baiting the trap and added sugar to the bait .. I want to say it took two sticks plus of the Farnam before I found a dead rat... not sure if their are more than one however

Seems to work OK...I keep mine under cover so it does not get Wet... Don't know about HIGH HEAT. Rats are more Weary about NEW things... Mine catches Mice fine... But still waiting for a Rat.... I have tried Peanut Butter and Dog Food... Thinking about Bacon....Of course I also have to Contend with Ants going for the Bait also on Any NON_WINTER time. Not fun!

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.

I was wondering the same question. I just got it for my 3 rats, the odor control is great but I caught them eating some. I'm worried about that. What's your experience with that litter? Thanks for hour help.

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.

I live in a suburban area where I've never seen a rat, but there are many, many squirrels, raccoons, skunks and the occasional possum. Nothing has chewed anything on our composters, and we bought the first of the two we own a couple of years ago. With all rounded edges, I imagine that a rat would have difficulty getting its nasty teeth around anything to chew.
