D-Con Mice and Rat Poison Bait Station Review

Each package of the D-Con Bait Station comes with one bait station and 20 refill baits. Right when you purchase it, you have everything you need, and there’s no need to purchase additional items unless you feel the need for more bait stations.

The bait slides right into the station under a clear window, which allows you to monitor the bait easily. You can see whether it has been nibbled and also know when it’s completely gone.

The only aspect of the station that may require some trial and error is figuring out where to put the stations. The stations are designed to be placed almost anywhere in your home, including the attic, kitchen, basement, bedrooms, garage, and more. However, you’ll need to make sure they’re up against walls or flush in a corner so that they’re in areas where mice and rats usually travel.

It’s also easy to use your own bait along with the refills. All you’d have to do is use something like peanut butter or chocolate, but this may also take some trial and error to discover if the rodents are susceptible to the ingredients you choose.

The D-Con bait station is tamper-proof to both children and pets. The poison that D-Con uses is Cholecalciferol, which is a form of vitamin D3. Though it’s safe for people, mice and rats cannot handle it inside their systems.

While it’s okay if you come in slight contact with the poison, it is hazardous if swallowed. Be sure your entire family knows about the bait stations and understand not to tamper with them. Though the stations are tamper-proof, it’s best to avoid accidents.

The poison bait comes individually wrapped, and the rodents will eat right through the packaging, so there’s no need to handle the bait directly. After your station has been sitting out, we recommend using gloves to handle the station or refill the bait. This is because rodents carry some serious diseases that can easily spread to the station and then to you.

After mice or rats get a hold of the bait, they take some back to their nest. This is where they’ll ingest most of it and die. Unlike a trap, you won’t have a horrible mess to clean up. Instead, you need to make sure you know where the rodent nest is if it’s indoors. D-Con states that mice and rats will begin to die after three days of the station being left out. Continue monitoring the bait through the clear window in the station so you can see when rodents have eaten the bait. Afterward, locate the nest and properly dispose of any bodies that you find. Be sure to use proper precautions like a glove or mask when you’re dealing with the rodents directly.

The D-Con Poison Bait Station works great for quick, easy removal of mice and rats around your property. Compared to other types of rodent poison, it’s mostly safe for people and pets. The station is designed, so paws or noses aren’t able to get inside. Compared to traps, it also provides easier cleanup.

The only issue some customers have is in opening the packaging. Some users may also see differing results in effectiveness. Luckily, you don’t need to unwrap the packaging that each bait refill comes wrapped inside. Mice and rodents will be attracted to the bait so that they’ll chew right through the wrapping. If you feel that the station isn’t giving you the results you’d like to see, you can also try moving it to different spots around your home or using different types of bait in tandem with the pre-packaged refills.

T We recommend the D-Con Bait Stations for small rodent problems throughout your home. The product is especially great if you’ve seen mice or rats in your garage or around the outdoors of your home. Though cleanup is easier than a standard rodent trap, you will still need to locate the rodents’ nest if it is indoors.

Whether you have children or pets, the stations are also designed to be completely tamper-proof and easy to use. All you need to do is periodically look through the clear window in the station to check on the bait and determine if you need to add more.

Whenever handling poison bait or anything that has had contact with rodents, be sure to wear gloves. Though the D-Con rodent baits are safe for people and pets, it’s still hazardous if ingested or through prolonged contact.

Overall, the D-Con Bait Stations provide an easy way to rid your home of rodents while protecting your wellbeing.
