i wouldn't use that anywhere near where your pets would be, use mixture of: plaster of paris powder/powdered sugar/baking soda. mix and set it in a jar lid along a wall where they run. or back in a cabinet or anywhere they invade. the plaster will mix with their body fluids and set up inside them...no poopie/no live!

Baking soda also reacts with acids in their systems, causes them to bloat and explode inside.

I just picked up some cats. After a few months, have not had a mouse in the house or chicken coup. And I'm a guy that dislikes cats, but I hate mice even worse. During winter they would even get in my camper but not now.

caught a lot of mice this year in garage and basement - yesterday found a vole - dark brown almost black and short tale - but dead in trap - using the new style easy set plastic traps with the bait well under plate - to get the bait they have to go over trap release and bang - goners

A good old yellowtom cat, and a Hd-5 works real well for me. Oh, and a half Jack Russell dog and I'm good to go. Leon

Wife's 3lb killer dog will alert to any in the house or anywhere else. She weighs 250lbs by the attitude. Bites me every morning when I go to work for some reason. Get the hell out I guess. Loves me any other time.

Used snap traps with a plastic bait holder, very effective.

Garage dog is 125lbs outside enforcer, mice freak him out but will take down anything else. Cleaned out some crap in the garage and mice had chewed holes in the sheet rock and were in the wall. I shoved a bunch of one bite kills bar stuff in the holes and put in steel wool to fill the hole. Haven't seen anywhere.
