In the past I used the Decon in the wedge-shaped box when we built a new home in what used to be a field that they had grazed cattle in. The rodent infestation in that new garage was more like a Rodent Motel 6. I put a couple of the wedges in the garage and the problem was solved, except for finding the dehydrated carcasses here and there around the garage. They didn't even smell. They don't seem to offer those around here and for the last three years we've been using the old fashion traps and what they are selling now as Decon along with a local commercial exterminator putting traps in our garage. The traps on a board seem to be the most effective. With winter approaching I'm looking at any alternatives I think might help. Where we live there is a large habitat for rodents along with all kinds of woodland creatures. We have a small creek nearby and lots of trees. brush, and undergrowth between us and some farmer's fields nearby as well.
