Neogen RODENTICIDE 45-Pack Ramik Rat and Mouse Bait Pail, Green, 4.2 LB, (04285)

I had purchased in the past 5 different Rodenticides for the rats that had invaded my garden and basement coming from the Grist Mill across the street. These rats were really bold, coming out in broad daylight in the middle of my garden areas in full view of my kitchen window. Yes, I feed the birds with black oil sunflower seeds but thank goodness, the rats prefer the Ramik green fishy smell pellets. The rats would look up at me when I rapped on the window but not scatter. I bought so many different rat eliminators: mechanical, electrical and edible. Sometimes I would find the other bait products intact or just nibbled and the units that were supposed to electrify them would have the bait gone but no dead rats. BUT .... RAMIK mini pellets was different...it was gobbled up night after night. By day 3 there were NO MORE VISIBLE RATS. I continued to put out out the Ramik pellets, opening the bag with gloves and placing the pellets in the spot where I saw the rats dig under the foundation of my house. It has been 10 days and it is still being eaten. I will continue until it is untouched and no evidence of the critters. Granted it is November and the time of the year that the rodents try and invade my house because of the low temps ( i live in New England ). I will now put the Ramik pellets in the attic and the basement where I have seen evidence of the rodents in years past. My only regret is the hundred of dollars I spent on all of the other products trying to rid my home and patio of the very bold rats. I have read of others who failed to open the plastic bags with the pellets. I opened the bags with scissors and spread the pellets where the rats would enter the hole that they made in the foundation. This worked for me with great success.

Laid out 2 small areas with this product in the attic. For the first 4 days it was eaten completely and had to be refilled. After 4 days I began to notice green mouse dropping (sign they are eating it) and then by the 5th day, only half was eaten. By the end of the week, no more of the poison was being eaten and no more noises coming from the attic. Did find a dead mouse on the 8th day in the attic and removed it. There are no longer fresh dropping being found under the sink area, Product worked quickly,

Last winter we were hit with a large wave of roof rats all around our yard and in our home. We called the exterminator and they placed poison pellets and spring traps with peanut butter all over the place. The rats didn't touch the pellets and the peanut butter was gone from most of the traps-not triggered. It did catch a few. We could hear the rats in the walls! All though it became a game for the kids to kill them with high powered air rifles (5-8 rats a night) it wasn't enough. My dad showed up with this Ramik poison stuff and tried it. The rats ate it all up! Within 3-5 days, we found the yard, the basement & the attic peppered with rat bodies- dead!! We quickly moved to clean it up before the smell of death took over the air. No more noises in the walls and in the attic. We now keep little clay plates around the house with these green pellets. It works, the rats are gone.

This is easy to set up. But,,,, the kill rate is really slow or I have a lot more mice then I expected. Been using for a couple of weeks now and even though the sign is less it is still more than should be. So I ordered some traps and by the time the traps got here the mice up and disappeared.

I had experience using the larger pellets at a friend's home who had a really huge mouse problem, but I hadn't had any mice.....until my daughter and three grandchildren came to visit for a week last summer. I think a mouse or two hitchhiked in their things they brought with them since they were overrun with mice at their house. I had a few packets of the larger nuggets that my friend had given me "just in case", and when I went looking for them, the mice had already found them and devoured them! I wondered if I was wasting my money ordering more. When I got my order, they were the mini pellets instead of the large ones. (I didn't read the description very carefully, so not the seller's mistake.) I put out three bags that night...totally empty the next day; put out three more, and again totally empty the next morning. I repeated this two or three more nights, and finally put out 5 bags. The next morning one bag was empty, two others had chew holes in them, but no more mice, so far!!! The four bags are still out and I check them periodically, but I've seen no more evidence of mice, so I hope this is the end. Anyway, it did take a few days of putting out the bait, but it worked.

I really wanted this to work. Our guest house has a mouse problem, with the little critters finding their way inside. Several months ago I put these packets in all the places I saw evidence of mice, and they don't seem to be nibbling. And I know I still have a problem because I see fresh droppings. Recently I tried cutting some slits in the packets to help the mice smell it, and I'll see if that works--if it does, I'll report back. I'm wondering whether this product works better for rats than mice. Update: Even with the slits in the packets, the mice don't go for it. Seriously, I have a bad mouse problem, I've put these packets everywhere you're supposed to, and so far, nothing.

My garage was infested with mice... In. Fest. Ed. And they were smart... I tried everything including these pellets. Springy traps, snap traps, food traps. Cage traps. Sticky traps. I finally got results by methodically cleaning the entire garage and putting everything in plastic bins. Each time I'd find a nest, I'd find these pellets... So I know that they were attractive to the mice, but I don't think they did much good to kill them off. The best traps were the victor plastic yellow snap traps with some peanut butter. Those got all of the mice.

Wow! This is a day two report, but I'm impressed so far - I'll do an update as time goes on. Rats seem to like it OVER thrown-out human food! My problem with baits in the past has been that mice and rats turn their noses up at the D-Con, etc. baits and prefer the little scraps they can retrieve from my garbage cans, etc. They were clearly attracted to the and went for the unopened plastic packages pf Ramik Green. Our usually mice-and-squirrels-and-rabbits-only neighborhood was besieged by rats after collapsed sewage pipes recently created a "sink hole" in the road and apparently provided them with access from a distant connection to the sewers. Some homes were apparently entered through toilets! I heard noises in my house and saw a darting rat a couple times. Bread and other on-the-counter foods were attacked quickly. Snap and electrocution traps caught a couple but they learn quick. I decided to flood the inside and outside with bait and tried these Ramik baits. Wow! I first set up two, putting the unopened plastic packages on top of empty leftover packaging from chicken and an eaten frozen meal's bowl with a tiny amount of food left - I thought the smell would draw them and placed them in semi-hidden locations. Within a couple hours both plastic packages were gone - taken away - hopefully to wherever they nested. The noises disappeared during the night. I heard a couple, apparently from a lone rat/mouse. Today, I'll be setting out many more of these up in places inside and outside, basement, and first floor and attic in places where the the rabbits and visiting friends and neighbors cats and dogs won't be able to get to them. Rats are very smart, but I don't think they'll be able to identify the packages as having killed their buddies before they themselves get poisoned, but I'll update this later!
