Need help getting rid of rats and mice in my yard

Hi, We just moved into our new home and there are outdoor animals everywhere. We have rats, ground mice digging up the grass, gofers and raccoon. We would like to start by getting rid of the rats and mice. They are eating into our plastic garbage cans and feeding from there. Can you recommend a product/program we can use to solve this problem? We already set small snap traps for the mice which were tripped by the larger animals and we put out 1 bait box from home depot for the rats which also hasn't been successful (we don't see any of the bait being eaten). We have kids and would like to make sure everything we use is ok to use around kids. thanks

Answer:

Fastrac Blox is an excellent bait to use for both the mice and rats. I will say though that if their food source has not been eliminated, they will not go after the bait. That is why the bait that you bought initially is not being touched. I would advise moving the trash cans elsewhere if possible and making sure they are not eating other things in the area. Also, to keep the bait away from the kids, I would advise putting it in a bait box, such the Protecta Rat Bait Station. These boxes lock, and the children would not be able to get the bait out of them.
