D-Con

[BrokeFarmerJohn]

I saw a mouse in the garage today, I just thought I would brag a bit because I still have two wedges of D-Con left lol. One will go in the garage, the other in the barn. Stuff has been in the closet for 5 or 6 years. Don’t really have issues with mice at the house I bought.

I bought stuff called Jaguar after I couldn't get D Con. It worked very well.

After I’m out of D con I’ll have to look for another solution. I’ll try that Jaguar. Now that I don’t have chickens I’ll keep poison in the barn to keep mice out of the tractors.

I heard D-Con had been removed from the marketplace. I ordered several boxes on eBay. I don't use it in the house or barn, I keep a pack under each headlight on my car. My packs apparently ran empty as one headlight quit. I spliced the wires and replaced the D-Con. In the meantime my neighbor just said he bought a fresh supply at Home Depot.

It does seem to be getting harder to find. Clerk at Walmart told me they don't carry it anymore.
Went next door to TS and they had plenty.

I think the D Con that is available now is a different formulation.

The d-CON I have was banned in 2014 for killing non target wildlife.

yeah, too much collateral damage- sticky traps work fine enough for me in mouse only accessible locations.

i finally got 2 cats. one i a lot heavier than the other. he's the aggressive one. eats the heads first and the the rest!!! " just one bite" or "bar bait" works good also.

Find it next to your bottle of DDT did ya?



I used to use it in my attic until I found out about accidental pet and wildlife poisonings. I have used traps for about 20 years now. Works great and targets well.

I've got 6 cats. I don't have a problem with mice.

No DDT just two small wedges of d-CON.

When I had chickens I didn’t see a mouse in the barns, haven’t had chickens in a few years and saw a mouse in my garage the other day. First time since I bought the place 6 years ago, has a mouse been spotted in the garage or house. I have put snap traps in the barn with peanut butter but caught only baby moles, never have caught a mouse there. A 5 gal bucket caught two mice lol.

I wouldn't want dead mice in the house. It would be better to spring trap them so you can dispose of them.

That was another reason we gave up d-con... I put some in the attic after we heard the mice running across the ceiling. We have a nice bench on the side of our dining room where we put our shoes on every morning. About 3 days after the d-con was put in the attic, I was sitting on that bench and smelled death. Apparently, a mouse or two fell down inside the wall right behind the bench. It took 2 weeks for the smell to go away.

I'm a Victor snap trap with sunflower seeds guy also. Works great

The real decon dehyrated them, no sstink to speak of, slight musty odor, just enough to tell it is a mouse, and gone in a day.
