|---|---|
| The high fat content and strong smell also carry further through a wall void or under a cabinet than a piece of cheddar, which pulls mice in from farther away. Use a pea-sized amount pressed firmly into the trigger pan, not a heaping spoonful. | Best Bait for a Mouse Trap in Ontario (It's Not Cheese) |
| Mice travel along edges using their whiskers to feel walls and baseboards, and they rarely cross open space unless forced to. Set traps perpendicular to the wall with the baited end tight against it, not out in the open. | Best Bait for a Mouse Trap in Ontario (It's Not Cheese) |
| Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) has repeatedly tightened rules around rodenticide access. In 2010, the PMRA required additional protective measures for several rodenticides containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, bromethalin, chlorophacinone, diphacinone, difethialone, warfarin and zinc phosphide, as part of an overall risk-reduction strategy. | What Bromethalin Actually Does to a Mouse: The Biology Behind Tomcat's No-Antidote Poison |
| Bromethalin, sold under names like Tomcat and Fastrac Blox, doesn't touch the blood-clotting system at all. Anticoagulant rodenticides work by interfering with the activation of vitamin K, while non-anticoagulant rodenticides such as bromethalin vary in their mechanism of action entirely . | Dead Mouse Smell: Why Body Mass Matters More Than Which Poison You Used |
