JT Eaton 709-PN Bait Block Peanut Butter Flavor

I ordered 2 buckets of these bait blocks (2 x 144 blocks) in 2018. They seemed to be awesome. Used them in Washington State in shop and garage and haven't had any issues. Used them in SE Oklahoma relatively successfully for a couple years. We placed them strategically in our cabin, in the shop, & inside & under the hood of our vehicles to keep the mice from eating anything, especially the housing on electrical wires, etc. We're gone about half the year, so the mice could have a free-for-all for months at a time; thus the aggressive preventive measures. The first year, the blocks were just totally intact when we came back months later. No damage anywhere. We removed the blocks in the vehicles, and left the others in place. Same procedure every time we leave for a long period of time. The second year after returning, I noticed lots of little green residue around many of the blocks. I figured uninvited spiders & bugs were eating the seeds. No biggie. I did notice a few little flying critters in my bathroom, and I thought they were "silverfish". The blocks looked like bugs had been nibbling on them -- little green residue around the blocks. I cleaned everything, replaced all the blocks in there, and the flying critters seemed to go away. But this year, when we returned in January -- the blocks in the vehicles were utterly disintegrated -- just a pile of green fluff with seeds in it. Inside, once the house warmed up, things started coming alive, and we had little white icky-looking worms showing up EVERYWHERE! They were absolutely resistant to everything we sprayed on them -- we could NOT kill them, even saturating them with bug spray. Eventually a direct spray of Wasp killer killed the worms. Most of them went down the drain, followed by hot hot water. I hope they don't crawl up out of our septic tank!! The inside blocks were looking much like the blocks in the shop -- some were fairly intact, but some were totally disintegrated, as in just a pile of green fluff and partially-eaten seeds. I had diligently placed the bait blocks EVERYWHERE in the cabin -- inside cupboards, along baseboards, in perimeters of every room & closet, inside drawers -- anywhere a mouse might go. The flying insects were mostly gone -- there were a few but mostly they were dead, laying here and there. And I found lots of little cocoons in tight spots, & that's where the worms came out of. I think they thought it was spring when the house warmed up, and everything came alive! I have spent mucho hours cleaning everything, washing everything, vacuuming everything -- trying to get everything cleaned up. The blocks are all sitting outside where it's cold -- just to get them out of the house. I think they'd probably still be effective if I just distributed them outside on the ground a distance from the house -- but I'm not really sure that's prudent. Those worms can really travel -- and I don't know what their next stage is . . . Long story to say those 2 buckets turned out to be a disaster! You will notice a smaller, waxier bait block. Those are a different type, and they are just a year old, but I found areas on them where they were starting to look "eaten", & a few with worms coming out of them also!!! Hopefully I retrieved all the blocks that were inside the cabin. This mess of bait blocks is ALL going to be thrown out where maybe our wild night critters outside will eat them. See the photos to see what I'm talking about!

Like many in our (rural) area, we typically start seeing mice about the first of April, after the snow. This year, everyone was complaining about the mouse infestation in February. We started by using traps, often catching 2 mice in a standard trap. We have cameras in our barn, and one night, we discovered dozens...DOZENS of mice running around. That's when we decided to go with bait blocks. Within 5 days, no mice were running around the barn. Each morning, I'd find a few dead mice that I would pick up and dispose of. We began recommending to others in our community. This product was a game-changer!

I buy this every year and I’m always happy with how well it does. Squirrels love it and eat it like candy if you put it in a big enough bait trap for squirrels to fit in. Obviously works well if you have rats and mice too. I have to refill the bait trap twice a day when the rodents are feeding.

I've used 3 buckets of this stuff so far. Total cost of about $75.00. The rats love it. I have a huge infestation near my chicken coup and it got to the point, because I ignored it for three years, where I was seeing rats run around, 3 or 4 at a time, right in the middle of that day. I've since sealed up my chicken food in a metal container and started laying this stuff out at night. I'm not kidding you, I put this stuff out and within 5 or 10 minutes the stuff is completely gone! Like 30 or 40 of them. They love it. I gave it four stars instead of 5 because I don't know if they're actually being killed. It's a little odd. I don't smell any dead rats, nor do I see any. And I'm three buckets in, over a month long period, and they are still eating it as quickly as they were the first day I used this stuff. So I figure EITHER it's not killing them, or I have a MASSIVE infestation that's just going to take a very long time. I'm assuming that the rats die and then get eaten by their friends, and that the poison gets circulated from rat to rat. If anyone has had this same experience of going through many many buckets before solving the problem, please leave a comment and let me know. I'd love to know that I'm not wasting my money and that I should just hang in there and keep going.

I am overrun with squirrels. I called my county extension and told them squirrels were chewing into my home and eating my wires. They said they are classified a pest and I can catch, trap or poison. I chose JT Eaton Bait in suet cages. I have run thru 4 buckets that is how many squirrels I have on my 1/4 acre heavily treed property.

I live in the city with new construction digging deep in the ground stirring up rat burrows. The last year has been terrible for these city rats around here. I've started using this product for the last 8 months and have seen a steady decline in visibility rats and in the last few months have seen rats that seem have dropped dead. The bait stations are constantly refilled meaning it's being eaten and working. I recommend this and the use of resealable bait stations for residential areas so pets and curious children can't get to them.

My neighbor has chickens, turkeys, and ducks. He started getting pickup truck loads of almost expired bread to help supplement feed costs and piling it in his garage. Before I knew it there was a serious rodent problem that not only came to my property but also chewed holes through my patio walls into my house. I called an exterminator as soon as I heard noises in the walls and he set rodent bait stations, gave us glue boards for inside and told us it was a waiting game until it started to thin them out. In the meantime, he is checking the bait stations every two weeks and the bait is gone but the rodents are not. I had a 13 month contract and during that time the rats and mice in my walls chewed a hole behind my 3 month old dishwasher, completely shredding the wiring harness and I had to get another dishwasher. They also chewed the washer and dryer "guts" destroying them and making me replace them as well. Mind you this was after several months of paying an exterminator a ridiculous amount of money with no satisfaction. The problem got worse the longer the "professional exterminator company" was contracted. At the end of the contract I decided I couldn't do any worse than he could and bought my own bait stations. I could buy 3 buckets of bait for what this company was charging me...per month. I chose this bait cause it had good reviews. The bait came first, there was some kind of problem delivering the stations but I could not wait so I put some long, thin nails on some 2x4's and placed the poison on them. The next day, half the bricks were gone, so I added more bricks, same next day, same next day. I kid you not, after 5 days and before the stations even arrived all the rodents were gone. I set the 6 stations out and barely had any of them eaten since. No more visible rodents, no more poop on my patio, no more poop in my animal food bins, they are all gone. I live on 3 mostly wooded acres with my own chickens, turkeys, ducks, pheasants etc and have not seen one sign of a rodent since day 5. I will continue to check the bait stations and resupply as needed cause living in the middle of nowhere with many birds makes my property a great place for rodents to find but I have no more problems, even with the extra cold Dec we are having. Before this bait we were fighting and losing an extremely frustrating and very expensive war with rats and mice. If you are considering getting this bait, stop considering and do it, you will not be disappointed. I cannot express enough how satisfied we are with this product.

We live in a heavy wooded area. Always had mice coming in. Since getting these the mice have been eradicated. I'll find where one or two have come in cause the new blocks get chewed on but they die shortly after. Plus its such a big container that I can keep putting them around the house to prevent another infestation. Just keep them away from your pets.

Did the trick 🐀
