Questions and Answers for ECOCLEAR PRODUCTS MouseX 1 lbs. Rodent Control

A:  This product is designed to make the rodent extremely thirsty - in theory, they are supposed to run out of the home to seek water

A:  Yes, you can. Once the mouse eats it, he will go away and die.

A:  Never had one die in the house.

A:  I would not recommend putting the bait inside the stove. You would be ok in placing the bait near the stove as the rat/mouse will leave the stove to find a food source. The rat/mouse will typically return to its nest/burrow to die once it eats the bait.

A:  LEAVE AND DIE

A:  Jess, you would want to put MouseX where you are having rodent activity and they will die wherever they feel the safest which is typically where they are nesting.

A:  "clinging food packaging film" is what is often used to cover bowls of food when placed in the refrigerator or on a table. Since it tends to seal rather well, it allows you to make a “packet” of this rodenticide and place it easier in the mouse/rat hole. As far as keeping the product dry and lawns, it is recommended to place the product in locations where rat activity is observed.

A:  Like Saran wrap. Just wrap it around the pellets and put it near activity is noted. Good idea especially if using outdoors where moisture will cause the pellets to fall apart.

A:  Does not work

A:  "Clinging food packaging film" is Saran Wrap. If using in the lawn, I would suggest placing the bait in a 'plastic zipper storage bag. (Zip-Lock).

A:  "Clinging packing film" is another way to say Saran Wrap!

A:  No, you do not want to mix peanut butter with MouseX as that will cause the product to become ineffective.

A:  It might even help as the active ingredient is salt (in theory this product works by fatally dehydrating the mouse) and peanut butter is also salty.

A:  It can't hurt, since it's supposed to be non-toxic. Maybe you should wear gloves and be sure to clean the utensils well afterward.

A:  Worth trying. It says on the packaging that it is supposed to keep dry. Im not sure if the active ingredient would degrade in the peanut butter. Perhaps it's worth calling the company?

A:  I don't know if that would work. I was just curious if you had gone ahead and tried doing that? But for that price it should work as is.

A:  I believe so.

A:  It does not seem to affect larger animals or animals that are not rodents, when used as directed. Follow the instructions carefully and be vigilant with your pet and your application of this product.

A:  Nothing. The active ingredient is salt which works because rodents do not drink water, instead getting their water from the seeds and plant material they eat in the wild. A dog would have to eat an enormous amount of MouseX to be dangerous and even then it would just get thirsty and drink more water.

A:  Nothing! MouseX is safe for dogs, cats, chickens, livestock, and birds of prey!

A:  The directions say that it doesn't harm dogs or cats.

A:  Nothing. Check the ingredients, it just mouse food. Not poison.

A:  Living in the country with hay meadows and woods around my house, I have had issues with mice 'wintering' under the hood. After several wires were gnawed through, the mechanic said he would NOT place any sort of bait under or around the vehicle; his advice, wire a glue trap near the site where they chewed the wire and if one is caught, kill it and leave in there for a few days. The dead rodent's smell will keep other ones away. I did what he said and sure enough, it has worked. If you see chewed wires, Toyota (I think) makes a rodent-deterrent tape that might be of use.

A:  No, this product is to control rodents

A:  I wouldn't recommend putting any foreign objects in your engine.

A:  I would opt to put it near where you park your car. Im not sure where you would put this in your car's engine that would ultimately keep dry and effective.

A:  I don't think it'd be a good idea to anything in your car's engine that isn't specifically designed to be there.

A:  We would recommend wrapping the product in Saran Wrap if using on your engine.
