First Strike Soft Bait Rodenticide - 16 lb Bucket for Effective Rat & Mouse Control - Indoor/Outdoor Pest Elimination for Homes, Farms & Warehouses

This stuff works exponentially better than anything they sell at Home Depot or Ace...I saw the review saying this doesn't work on DC rats...fake news...I payed 275 a pop for abatement svc from highly reviewed DC firm called Biotech a few times then noticed the techs used this stuff...I took a pic of the bucket then found I could buy it myself...living in a century old row house, and no matter how clean I was, I dealt with mice indoors far longer than I should have. I haven't seen one since I started using this stuff and there may be a smell if you have a crap ton of mice, but once you get to a maintenance level there will be no mice and no smell. I found a dead one in the laundry room last winter. Before winter, put a couple under the fridge and behind the range...a couple under the washer. There was this stuff at stores that worked pretty well called mousepruf, but i had to mix it with peanut butter, make little balls and rats in the backyard would drop in hours. Stores stopped selling it years ago.. My alley was full of rats which had burrows in the back yard. The rats def eat this liphatech stuff and die. They will eat it and die when more attractive food choices are present. They eat holes in the city cans and have free run, but do not pass this stuff up. If you have alley with hundreds of rats, you'll kill the current residents but more will come to take their place. Unless you buy 5 buckets of this stuff and kill the whole alley's rat pop, they'll return. I used to call the D.C. rodent patrol guy. They put this powder crap in the burrows. They guy told me they aren't allowed to use the deadly stuff called tracking powder...he said If I wanted the rats to leave my back yard, cover the whole thing in about 4-6 inches of coarse gravel and they won't burrow in my yard bc it hurts their paws. I had a ton of gravel...gray...the kind the size just under the #3 large construction site kind delivered and spread it and settled for potted plants. That worked very well and the few intrepid ones who found burrow spots in corners were killed by Liphatech snacks and thwarted by sticking chicken wire in the burrow and piling in more gravel. Picture going from 20 burrows all the time to 1 every couple of months. Huge improvement. I ultimately paved it over to have parking, but the gravel works well and costs a couple hundred, not a couple thousand.
