My exterminator used this particular product last year and said it was safe to use with pets and children, but you literature indicates otherwise. I live in a very old house and was surprised to see a small mouse jet across my living room, it's not even cold outside. What do you recommend? Are the traps interchangeable? Can I use the same traps I have from last year and just purchase a few more if I can't buy the kit that is safe.
The Protecta RTU Mouse Bait Stations are tamper resistant and lock when closed. They are safe for use around pets and children, but bait should always be kept out of reach of children and pets. This kit would be excellent for your mouse problem. The stations are also reusable, so you can use the same ones that you had from last year. You can refill them with bait as needed. How often the bait should be replaced depends on how much mouse activity there is around. You should check the stations daily to start with to see if they are eating all of the bait in a day. The key to control is to keep enough bait in the station to supply the population around the structure. The goal is to not have it be empty when mice go inside to look for food. You may find that you have to replace the bait daily at first but after the population dwindles you will have to add bait much less frequently (1 timer per week or even 1 x per month). Bait should also be replaced if it is insect infested or moldy.
