A rat/mouse only consumes a very small amount of bait at a time and passes it very quickly only keeping a smaller amount in their liver until they succumb to the effects of the bait. A cat would have to actually eat 20-30 mice that have consumed the bait for it to have an effect. In most cases, well fed domesticated animals will not actually eat a mouse or a rat that they come across. Instead they will play with it, chew it and then leave it behind. We recommend that you keep the product out of their reach when stored in a cool, dry place and apply as directed on the product label.
If rodents have made their way into your home you will first need to find the area they are using as a point of entry and exit to your home. If they are not coming into the main living areas of your home at all for you to be able to use snap or glue traps to catch them, then they are still coming and going from your home regularly in order to survive and find food and water outside the home. You may want to look at using a Tomahawk One Way Door Rodent Excluder that allows them to exit the home but not get back in before trying to use poison to eliminate them if dead rodents in your wall is a concern. In general, no bait on the market at all will keep the rodents from smelling. A decomposing carcus is still a decomposing carcus and has the ability to stink wherever it may die. The closest you will get to minimal smell is with the Rat X bait which should dry the rodents up a little faster to where you may not have to endure as much smell or for as long as you would with any other bait on the market.
Rat X is a non-toxic rodent bait that kills rodents without harming any other species. The rats will eat the bait like a food source and Rat X will cause dehydration. Rats have stomach sensors that tells them when they are thirsty, this will only effect rodents that eat the bait as dogs do not have this sensor.
Mice and rats have stomach sensors that tells them when they are thirsty. When they eat Rat X, it turns off their stomach sensors and it can no longer tell their brain to drink water. They have no desire for drinking water so they will just go back to their burrow, and begin the cycle - dehydration, failing kidneys, coma and then death. So though it is not required to pull the water up, rats do need a separate water source from their food source, so anything you can do to restrict their access to other food and water will help speed up your treatment.
Rat X will only work on mice and rats, and is safe for other animals since it is non-toxic for them. There is no risk of secondary poisoning.
We do not recommend that you add food to Rat X as the product contains food based ingredients that attract the rodents for consumption. When baiting for rodents, you want to limit other food sources they are attracted to so that they will consume the bait you place out for them. For more information on treating for rodents, please take a few moments to review our articles on How to Get Rid of Rats and How to Prevent Rodents for a successful eradication program.
