[QUOTE="donna723, post: 376072, member: 1883"] Yeah, Sharon, I would be EXTREMELY careful with anything with the poison pellets if you have pets - in fact I wouldn't use it at all! No matter what kind of container they're in or where you put them, mice tend to scatter these little pellets around and some of them could end up where your pets could get them and eat them. It's just too big of a risk. From what I understand, these pellets don't kill the mice right away. They eat them and go back to their nest or they can carry the pellets back to their nests and eat them and then they die inside your walls and stink to high heaven! And there's always the risk that the mouse could eat the pellets and then the dogs could catch the poisoned mouse, especially if the mouse is already slowed down from the poison. Two of my dogs are world champion mousers, just like cats. They don't eat the mice but they will carry them around in their mouth for a while like a little trophy before they're ready to give them up. I don't like to do it but I do use the glue boards. When the dogs started catching the mice on the floor, some of them were smart enough to take to the counter tops. I hate doing it but it was to the point where it was them or me! You also have to be very careful where you put the glue boards so your pets can't get at them - that would really be a mess! And even if I put the dog food bags up, the mice can still manage to get to them and chew a hole though them, even the foil lined bags. The best thing you can do is to buy a sturdy metal container with a lid to store the pet food in. [/QUOTE]
