Good luck going forward in CA since they passed a bill to ban the most effective rodenticides. Your going to see a huge rise in rodent populations in the next 2-3 years.

And a huge loss of population so the rat to human ratio will increase.

Jim, just want to confirm that you read B Russ saying 98% ineffective? Meaning it does not work? Just confirming; perhaps I missed it?

Due to spousal sensitivity, I needed a more discreet way of dealing with the invaders. A dab of rodent 'food' and wait for the red LED to shine in the morning. I explained to my spouse this is a rodent motel - rodents check in but they don't check out!

Amazon Amazon

Yeah, I read ineffective. That differs with the recommendations on Amazon, and as I said I can't use traps or glue trays. I use the little ones in the house and when I find a roach, it's always dead so they do work. The cost and inconvenience of damage to my wiring harnesses is simply not worth NOT trying the electronic units.

Lol at listening to Amazon recommendations over a 35 year licensed professional in multiple states. Carry on

If any of you took the time to read the link I provided, it gives some explanations as to why various repellant don't work...

I think they are starting to munch on the homeless population in LA and SFO.
