I don't want it to harm the Grey squirrels.
Any of the JT Eaton Bait Block Rodenticide - Peanut Butter Flavorizer (709-PN) secured but not in a station allowing only rodents access to it could still be eaten by other animals, including deer (who can easily clear 7-foot fences), raccoons, stray cats, squirrels, possums, and other nocturnal rodents that you may not see entering your yard at night. Also, baits do not give a designated area in which they are going to cause a rodent to die, so they may die in their burrows, your neighbor's yard, or in a multitude of other places. You could easily have a higher number of rodents in your area than you may realize, as normally, with rats and mice, they will not be noticed as much until they are well established in a particular area. If the bait in the stations and in any other secured location is disappearing, then something is eating the bait, and it's just going to take time for the entire population to get under control. Fastrac has always been and continues to be one of the top baits on the market for control, attractiveness, and killing ability with no resistance for years. We encourage you to only use the poison in secured bait stations and continue putting the bait out so long as it keeps disappearing until the population has dropped. Also, remember, if it's larger rodents, while it only takes a small amount of the bait for them to consume to get a lethal dose, that doesn't mean that a single rodent couldn't sit there and eat 2 blocks of the bait by itself and consume enough lethal doses for 5 rats in one sitting. We ask that you give the product more time to control the population since you haven't had it out for even a month yet, and let us know if you have any questions. We would be more than happy to help.
