How about those destructive pack o rats? Will water effect there usefulness?

I can't say if pack rats will go for it but I wouldn't be surprised. I left the bucket in an accessible shed and rats almost chewed the lid off trying to get to the bait blocks! No, rain and water don't seem to have a negative effect on the bait blocks.

No. They are soil dwelling and even so, pose no threat to most aquatic, amphibians or invertebrates. They are generally target-specific (as advertised). Chemical grub control, however WILL harm them.

I wrap my rat zapper tightly in plastic grocery bag (Target, walmart, etc) leaving the large opening exposed. I do put it under my bay window where it doesn't get soaked with driving rain.

The water will evaporate and the critters will drink too. I go out every day with a pitcher to refill but first empty on the ground or wipe out what's left with a dish towel. It's ok. I've always got wash to do.

Yes I think so.. It is effective in capturing.. probably once in 20 days you can drain the collected water.

You can use it outdoors if you protect it from getting wet. It is an electronic device and therefore susceptible to water damage. My personal experience with the devices was that they didn't work. I tried various suggested baits for approximately 10 days and never caught a single rat. I have had the most success with the old tried and true spring trap.

Yes, this product will kill Rats and Mice (and anything that eats them). I've used it both in a commercial application and also at home. The rodents eat a small hole in the bags, then proceed to eat the entire contents, so sometimes it might look like they haven't touched the bag, but they might have. We had a large infestation and after putting this out, there were a lot of dead mice/rats, then about 1 1/2 week later, put out a second application, and now no site of any vermin. Well worth it.

Have you hosed it out? I gets leaves & crud in it, I even had a rat with a nest in one of mine!! Got rid of him fast!! I have 3 of then & hose out regularly. Try it!

Most likely not if filled with water. When completely dry, they should pass.

most likely, food is not the most important thing, you can last that long on water alone, the emergency rations would allow you to maintain a level of activity by having them to eat, i think they would better your chances of survival if they were available. They have a coconut flavor, not to strong, and not sweet like a candy. I keep a couple of packages in my truck emergency kit. They are also easy to consume on the move and don't take up much room in a daypack

I don't see why not...they're just plastic....water shouldn't affect them...

Well...if you can get the chemical, I don't know why you couldn't. Although now that I think about it, the tubes are smaller and much stiffer than toilet paper tubes. They don't break down in the weather (not for some time, anyway). A toilet paper tube would disintegrate in the rain pretty quickly, possibly before the mice had had a chance to find the cotton balls, and I suspect the rain would wash away the chemicals too.

Can't rodents chew through anything that isn't metal? Actually, they would REALLY have to work at it. I don't see them getting through it, but anything is possible.

I have no idea. It's not advertised as waterproof. It has electronics in it, but none are on the outside. I would think a mist or very light drizzle might be okay, but anything that seeped into the inside of the pack could hurt the battery and/or connectors. If it was me, I would keep it dry.

I had rats in the attic. I just threw some around where I saw the hole under the eves of the roof. I wore disposable gloves. Good luck!

Technically its possible from what I saw in my installation. As far as would it be bad for plants my guess is that it will be whatever was removed from the water will be in higher concentration

They are suppose to be good for 4 or 5 loads. depending on the hardness of your water. I still put the old bag in with a new one. Just in case there is more life in it. You can also tell by smelling them.. They have a vinegar-like smell. When they dont smell they are dead.
