NEOGEN RODENTICIDE Ramik Mouse and Rat Nuggets Pouch, 4-Pound, Green

Rats love this stuff. I like it because the active ingredient is an anticoagulant, Diphacinone, which is far, far less toxic to dogs and cats than rats, and the antidote is Vitamin K, which all vets stay stocked up on. Other rat poisons contain Bromethalin, which is much more dangerous to dogs and cats—don’t take my word about the antidote for Bromethalin—look this one up yourself. So why would anybody use Bromethalin? You get kills after one feeding, and quicker kills. Blood anticoagulants like warfarin and Diphacinone are much slower and might require two feedings. I use Diphacinone because I had much rather take my dog to the vet than use Bromethalin get out the shovel and have a backyard burial due to my stupidity. One time I thought my dog had consumed some rat poison—I was in a panic attack until I discovered the poison was warfarin. I knew I had 48 hours to get to the vet. had used Bromethalin. But as it turned out, I had forgotten that I had moved the poison to a safe spot, but after that happened, nothing but blood anticoagulants for me. Ramik kills them dead right away, the entire family. This is not necessary but I like to drop a few drops of cod liver oil on the Ramik so the little <expletive deleted> will smell is easier. If it is one thing I can’t stand it’s a rat. I despise rats. I have studied rats and I have used most every rat poison on the market—as well as many that are now considered too dangerous to be on the market— and nothing tops Ramik. There are brands that match Ramik, but nothing tops it. You will not go wrong with this one. I have found that Ramik is not water resistant. If you put it outside where it could get wet, I recommend putting it in a sealed plastic baggie. The rats will chew right through that baggie when they find it, and they will find it.

We had a major problem with squirrels hiding in the engine block of our cars. I did not want to hurt the squirrels, but after $1500 in damage, I was done. I put out 15 pellets in a little pile in the flower bed next to the drive way. The next day, ALL the pellets were gone. We still kept seeing squirrels so put some more next to the flower bed. The pellets are small enough that the squirrels stuff their cheeks with them and take them away. Finally our squirrel problem is done. Be advised that this product attracts the animals to take the poison, so you do not want to put it IN your car or engine block, just near the car so they take the bait and bail. I still see squirrels down the street, but they avoid our property now, which is how I want it. Excellent product. be advised, dogs are attracted to the fish smell, so put it somewhere pets are not permitted.

Works but for me it took a little over 3.5 months to see results. Purchased in March and finally saw 6 large field rats around my shed and chicken coop dead. Poison seen eating through their stomachs. Overall it works just the wait made it seem like it wasn’t working.

Got rid of the mice in our crawlspace. However WARNING if u have pets be very careful bc I found 3 dead mice right outside the ducting where the mice were getting in and thankfully I found them before my dog did.

I rarely low-rate stuff. This time though an urgent need (to get rid of the pests) clashed with a real disappointment. We got a bag of poison a month ago. One star because the rats were crazy about those green balls and the trays with those had to be refilled every couple of days. These are packrats, rodents that I believe had to be affected by the poison like others. Yes I'm aware they store a lot of food but they do have to eat in the meantime, don't they? So the five days had passed and we tried to be patient... meaning lathering all the corners with undiluted peppermint oil and occasionally spraying it in the face of the pests that kept growing bolder and sometimes would run straight at us. The rat trap didn't work either. The beasts were too fast to just hit with a poker... it went on and on. Seems like there were only two of them but trust me they can ruin a whole household. One evening I was chasing one of them with the spray bottle. It jumped into the speaker, and my partner grabbed some notebooks to block two holes in it. We carried the whole thing outside and put rocks on top of those. After a week the scratching was over and he threw the dead thing out. At this point I don't give a rat's rear about any "humane" way to get rid of them. Because the second rat is still there, up until this day, causing trouble :( The bag of poison is long gone and the rat is still alive. How many bags will it take to kill just one? I don't know where the exact glitch is. I was already feeling a tad anxious when other reviewers warned about the dreaded five days before the poison kicks in. But a whole month and no result is truly frustrating. There aren't many pests, just these two. I don't want this place to be in shambles because of the one stupid packrat left which no one is able to destroy. Patience doesn't feel appropriate. Ick.
