NeogenRODENTICIDE Ramik Mouse and Rat Nuggets Pouch, 4-Pound, Green

I put this under my house, and it works. No smell, worth the price. Good size, and it seemed to work immediately.

This product works finally I found one that works on the rodents in my area. Tried everything under the sun to control the rodent population including water in the buckets, pellets, ultrasonic sound etc. I had used D-con mouse baits which worked right away killing mice on the first day of application. But the D-con rat pellet didn't work, a waste of money. These balls are big in size, and easy to spread around (no station to mess around - so not good if you have children or pets)/ I left 7 balls in 8 different locations, every one of them were eaten overnight and the second-day dead animal smell was in the air. I disposed of even a big rat within 3 days of using these bait balls. I wonder whether animals will develop tolerance to this toxin, I may have to moderate its usage. In the place I live, rodents cause big and expensive property damage. I just fixed $5k worth of car chewed-cable damages. I was frustrated, wondering how to live in this place without having to pay 5 grants for car repair every now and then. This bait may be the answer to quell my frustration.

Decent product. Didn't quite do the trick. May follow up

During COVID, a family of roof rats moved to our apartment building. For six months, they would just run up and down the trees at night and the roof. I have been feeding birds for a year and I turned my balcony into a little oasis. I have roses, jasmines, a humming bird feeder and two seed feeders. I love it and people who walk by love it too. At first, I didn’t think rats would get on my balcony. I kept it clean and nice, swept fallen seed 3 days a week and cleaned the railings.But then one night, a jerk rat decided to visit. My balcony is the only one that has trees leaning on it which created the perfect ladder. I panicked and went into clean and seal mode… I used a dustpan at sunset, every day. Stored bird seed from the railing feeder and put a bag over the hanging feeder. One rat managed to get into the bag one night and got stuck. I woke up to the sound of it trying to escape. I replaced the bag with another zipper they could not get into. I tried humane measures. I bought an ultrasonic plug-in, rodent repellent. It did not work. At all. Then I decided to buy peppermint based natural repellants, three different brands, actually. My balcony smelled amazing, but the rats weren’t really bothered.The family (I saw 12 of them one night) did not care that there wasn’t food anymore, they just kept visiting, eating my rose buds and running on my railing. I started to loath them. I don’t like to kill anything, a bee, a spider… but those hantavirus carrying creatures had to go. I wanted to get rid of any rat that knew about my balcony.I bought poison bait blocks from a different brand, but the rats didn’t go near them. So I bought Ramik Green. It doesn’t smell awful, just like, old weird dry cat food. They carry the bait and take it back to their nest, where they eventually eat it. Which is great because I didn’t really want to see the dead bodies. I started to put the nuggets out at night on a napkin and counted how many they have taken. Night 1: I put out 50 nuggets, they were all gone. Night 2: I put out 48, they were gone in an hour, then I put out an additional 85 and they were gone by morning. Night 3: I put out a 112. By morning, gone. Night 4: 173 nuggets, all taken. At that point, I did not see any rats during the day. Night 5: I placed 140 nuggets. They took all of it. Night 6: I put out a 110… I saw one rat that night, but then it left and nothing was taken by morning. Night 7: I decided to stop putting out the poison. No rats. Couldn't even hear any on the trees or roof. Night 8: Again, absolutely no rats. So it took approx a week and a total of 608 taken nuggets to kill whatever infestation was there. Really happy with this purchase and to have my balcony back. I will continue to monitor for a month and will come back and update my review if anything changes.

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.
