Bait Block Apple Flavor Rodenticide – 4 lb. Pail – Effective Rodent Control Bait Blocks – Long-Lasting and Easy to Use

Backstory: I moved into a late 1970's mobile home on 1/2 of land in a small neighborhood on the outskirts of an isolated city halfway between Phoenix and Tucson with nothing else around it except open desert for at least 15-20 miles in every direction. They mobile home had been vacant for several years prior to me moving in, and became quickly apparent had most likely never been properly sealed or insulated and had been free game for all the mice to turn the walls into their own B&Bs. I knew I was going to have my work cut out for me as far as sealing up the house to keep out the wildlife in the desert that seems to all be bioengineered cause serious damage to humans. I was able to successfully eradicate a scorpion infestation, which is extremely hard to do, I managed to insulate everything to keep out the 110°+ summer heat, but the one thing I couldn't get under control no matter how many tactics I tried was getting and keeping these d#@n mice out of my house. I've tried every live catch, snap trap, sticky paper, electrified, bucket plank trap on the market, and the only thing that works d temporarily was the snap traps and peanut butter as bait, but within a week I'd hear them in the walls again. I had to wage war on these disease ridden rodents because they have a highly toxic chemical in their urine that could make both me and my dog VERY sick. After trying the popular bait from the brand with a cat on the packaging and the brand with the commercial with mice baking poisonous brownies and not having a single nibble taken out out of either of them, I had basically lost all faith that bait products like those would have any effect at all. After researching each of the main ingredients in rodenticide products and the effect each has on the internal system of mice, I decided to try this JT Eaton bait in the apple flavor but cause my research led me to believe it could very well be the most effective method to finally eradicate all the mice and help stop the problem before it gets out of control in the future. So I bought a bunch of steel wool and gap Filler spray adhesive, stuffed and filled every tiny crevice around my house larger then the size of a nickel, and set out a few makeshift bait stations I constructed out of small shipping boxes with one block of these apple scented bait blocks inside that I secured in place with a long twist tie fed through two small holes in the back of the box. I cut two holes, one entrance, one exit, so that when I placed the box on the floor up against a wall, the openings were placed directly in the path the mice would take when they moved along the walls so they stay in the shadows. I made 4 stations and placed one in each room in an area that my dog could not access (under the kitchen sink, under the bathroom sink, in the corner of my bathroom droom closet, an another in the kitchen in an enclosed pantry) but I wasn't expecting much to change. Within 4 days, the scratching in the walls that kept me up every night was SILENT, I stopped hearing any sounds of scratching in the kitchen, and I haven't seen any signs of mouse activity in or out of my house since. That was 4 months ago. Mice leaves scent trails everywhere that attracts other mice and tells to follow it, so I used a mixture of 75% white vinegar, 25% water with about 20 drops of peppermint essential oil (because it's strong enough to overpower their sensitive sense of smell as well as well as the scent in their urine) and after thuroughly cleaning along the baseboards and under each sink with a strong disinfecting and enzyme cleaner, I sprayed along each baseboard where there had been signs of mouse travel. I reapply the mixture once a week just in case a mouse has snuck in and tried to leave a trail for other mice to follow again. VOILA! NO MORE MICE! My house has finally been rodent free for the last 4 months, and the product that finally made it happen was this JT Eaton apple Flavored bait blocks. And it got rid of all the mice in just a few days. I will make sure I have a bucket of this stuff on hand at all times, just in case these nasty critters ever tried to get the upper hand again.

I bought this to get rid of the squirrels destroying my roses because they were in the way of their view while eating up all my birds food that they they could get too! That was it! I was done with them!! Its very effective but they do catch on! They are little blocks. I cut them up and put them under bushes where the birds are not interested. (Use discernment in placing them the squirrels will find them) . These squirrles were all huge and breeding. The first attempt they went for it. The huge population immediately went down! The big female destoying my roses gone!! They remember though. I waited a few weeks and put some out again. They were cautious not really taking them. Then I dipped them in almond butter. Worked! There are a few coming around but they are younger. They come from all around when they know there is a food source, but has fone way down. I will periodically continue to clean them out of my area. Effective but use caution if you have other animals around. I dont so thats not a problem for me. Does work. Update. 04/18/23. I can now say I have removed the squirrel population from my area, despite the idiot next door feeding them planters peanuts. I haven't seen any in the neighborhood for about a month now. Definitely works.

For now I'm giving only 4 stars because I can only confirm that mice are eating on this Apple stuff like it's candy. My hope is that they will be dying off somewhere soon from it. I place whole blocks against walls & later find them moved with crumbs around. I use an object to push it back against the wall because I like to know everytime one took the bait. Very important to place the bait with gloves so your human scent isnt on it. I will update later on effectiveness to rid my home of these pests.

Good value and definitely work very, very well. Use sparingly wherever you have a presence of pests.

These rodenticide blocks are a must have, they work great. Dead rats for sure!!!!

Been trying to get rid of the squirrels in my attic and I guess they are super squirrels bc nothing is working. I put a layer of peanut butter and broke up one of these blocks and put it down they licked the plate clean and still in my attic they won’t die not matter what I do. I tried humane squirrel repellents didn’t work and now poisons don’t work.

There’s nothing for me to like about this rat poison. The rats on my property would not eat this apple flavored poison at all. No matter how I presented it to them. I tried placing whole chunks, half chunks, quarter chunks, ground up to fine powder mixed with bird seed in a small bowl, all in areas I know rats frequent and they would not eat it. I know for sure they won’t eat it because I watch them ignore it using my infrared eufy security cameras. They even pick around through the mixture of seed and crushed apple flavored poison, eat the bird seed and leave the poison. This manufacturer takes my money but in my opinion, their product does not perform as they advertise. The rats won’t eat it. Today’s rats have ‘gone to school’ on how to recognize and avoid all these poisons but it seems the manufacturers don’t care and don’t retest their products effectiveness for their buyers benefit.

This stuff works slow the way you want it to so the rats don’t know that they are taking something back to kill all of them. We have a 30 foot storage container outside that has trouble here and this where I use it. • The first year I started to think it wasn’t working but they were eating the bait one per day then one for every 3 days and then none. Clean up all the rat dark droppings and sticking urine wash myself down. Aw, it was bad. • Every year after I place one or two baits screwed down to a 2x4 laid on a one of the stainless steel tables. Were they would eat two or more the second year. • By the third winter we only needed one bait. • This winter I have one bait but haven't seen any dropping or urine anywhere but plain to screw one down each year anyway. Every year I haven’t found any of them died so my guess is they died outside in one of the holes in the ground. I was worried about our chickens because the chicken coop is near by but never found any dead rats and are chickens are healthy.
