EEK! a Mouse!

[Beekissed]

I was fortunate enough to see my dog exiting the cellar one day~I had just left the door open for a minute as I carried things back and forth~ and I just knew he had been in there eating the JustOneBite. The bar was gone and the dog that will eat anything was caught leaving the scene.

Dosed him immediately with hydrogen peroxide and watched him heave the whole thing out on the ground...then vomit everything he had eaten since a small pup and dry heave the rest of the day after that.

I felt sorry for the poor guy but I was sure glad I had seen him leaving that cellar and thought to look for that bar of poison.

How much does a mouse weigh? From what I just read online, less than 1 ounce. Less than 1/16th of a pound. How much does your dog weigh? A lot more. What dosage will kill a mouse? What dosage will kill your dog. Think about dosage a bit.

I don't use mouse/rat poison much but I do occasionally. I made a hollow section by screwing some 2x6's together so mouse can get in but a dog or cat cannot. I take great pains to keep a dog, mine or a stray, from getting to the rat poison. It could eat enough to harm itself or even die, especially a small dog. I don't like poison. I don't take it lightly. But I'm willing to poison a mouse.

Great way to keep dogs away from the poison.

Whats important if you have pets is to use the pellet form , the bars the rats can carry off, leaving them where pets can get to.

DOGS! I had to dose DH's dog with hydrogen peroxide when he ate daffodil bulbs. Your description of how well it worked caused me to chuckle in a knowing way! Yep same for Will.

We have a mouse (or something) stealing traps in DH's shop. Numerous mice & voles have been caught, but occasionally a trap goes missing. War has been declared.
We have developed lightening reflexes around here. If even a slight movement is caught in the corner of the eye ... Stomp!
I almost got a sparrow once.

When a trap goes missing I think it is a rat or squirrel that has been caught.

We are thinking rat - it's days are numbered!

... stupid chicken coop rat!

I poured the box of pellets down the hole and packed it back closed again.
It re-dug a second hole RIGHT NEXT TO THE POISONED ONE!

IT
IS
ON!
