A: Yes, this product is effective against mice, including meadow voles. While deer mice are not explicitly named, the bait is designed for general mouse and rat control, and it is specifically labeled for use against meadow voles in most states.

A: The amount of bait that would cause lethality can vary with the species, weight, genetics, and health of a rodent. A rough estimate of lethal amounts of Tomcat Bromethalin pellets is 5-15 g (0.2 -0.5 oz) for rats and 1-3 g (0.04 – 0.1 oz) for mice. Please keep in mind that an animal may consume more than a lethal dose prior to dying. As always, follow the label instructions for placement amounts.

A: Mice typically die within 2 to 5 days after consuming a lethal dose of Tomcat Bromethalin Place Packs, which is considered faster than traditional anticoagulant poisons. While the poison does not "mummify" rodents, the small size of a mouse can help minimize odor compared to larger rats. However, if a mouse dies in an unventilated area, a noticeable smell may last for a few days to two weeks. To avoid potential indoor odors, snap traps are often recommended so carcasses can be promptly removed.

A: No, Rodents will chew through the packaging to access the bait. The only thing that I would recommend is to crinkle the packaging before tossing in hard to reach areas.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. This bait is labeled for rats and mice only, but bromethalin is a potent rodenticide and can also be lethal to chipmunks if they consume enough. Use only as directed on the label and always place baits in tamper-resistant bait stations to reduce risk to pets and non-target wildlife. For chipmunk control, traps or exclusion methods are often safer alternatives.

A: Hello, thank you for your question. According to the product label: APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: Mice and Meadow Voles*: Open place pac and apply 1/4 to 1/2 ounce (1-2 level tablespoons) of bait per placement. Space placements at intervals of 8 to 12 feet in infested areas. Larger placements, up to 2 ounces, may be used at points of extremely high mouse or meadow vole* activity. Baiting Strategy: Highest bait consumption is expected to occur on the first day or two after treatment begins. After several days, inspect the placement and replenish bait at sites where there is evidence of heavy feeding or where there is continued evidence of rodent activity. Normally, the volume of bait consumed will be significantly less with bromethalin baits than with anticoagulant baits. Although one night's feeding will usually provide a lethal dose, maintain bait for at least one week to provide all rodents a chance to feed on the bait. Continue baiting until all signs of feeding have ceased. FOLLOW-UP: Replace contaminated or spoiled bait immediately. Using gloves, collect and properly dispose of all dead, exposed animals and leftover bait. To discourage reinfestation, limit sources of rodent food, water, and harborage as much as possible. If reinfestation does occur, repeat treatment. Where a continuous source of infestation is present, establish permanent bait stations and replenish them as needed. *Not permitted for use against the following species in California: Cotton rat, Eastern harvest mouse, Golden mouse, Polynesian rat, Meadow vole, White-throated woodrat, Southern plains woodrat, and Mexican woodrat

A: Tomcat with Bromethalin Place Pacs contain the premium active ingredient Bromethalin, excellent for proven control of high rodent populations and severe infestations.

A: Hi, This should work.

A: I would recommend using the Tomcat Bromethalin Bait Chunx instead and secure the Chunx in a bait station such as the Tomcat Outpost. That way there is now at a chicken or other non target animals can get into the bait. Place a couple bait stations on the exterior of the coop at each corner.

A: This particular product contains 22 individually wrapped sealed paper packs containing Bromethalin pellets. This is designed for people to use the bait without having to touch it in hard to reach spaces such as crawl spaces or attics. The rodents will chew through the thin paper to reach the bait.
