I bought and used First Strike Soft Bait. Mice loved it but STILL ALIVE!!

Felt like I as feeding them! VERY DISAPPOINTED. I refilled my 20 bait stations EVERY week and most would be empty and eaten but mice still alive! They are digging UNDER my house now!

Answer:

If the rodenticide is in secure bait stations and you see that it is being consumed, then the best thing to do is to continue filling the bait stations as long as rodents are consuming it. It can be very easy to underestimate the size of a rodent population in an area, especially since mice breed in high numbers and very quickly. Usually you will not see many dead rodents since it can take several days for rodents to die from FirstStrike or other anti-coagulant baits; the rodents will often die where they have been nesting. We do have sell many kinds of Mouse Traps, which would be recommended for use indoors so that you can easily locate and discard any dead rodents in the area. Please let us know if you have further questions.
