I was given the name of this product because I understood there was no smell after death of the mouse. True?
Unfortunately, neither Talon G Rodenticide Pellets nor any other rodenticide will prevent decaying dead rodents from producing an odor. The mode of action of Rat X rodenticide may reduce odors from dead rodents, but it will not eliminate it on its own. Because there is no guarantee as to where rodents will die if they have consumed bait that is indoors, we recommend to limit bait use to outdoor areas. Indoors, using traps allows you to remove dead rodents, eliminating that risk of secondary problems like bad odors and insect infestations. Please see our Mouse Treatment Guide for more tips and information about how to control mouse infestations. Also, most loose pelleted baits have been discontinued due to new EPA regulations concerning rodenticides. The pellets are instead packaged into place packs that the rodents will chew through to get to the pelleted bait inside. Popular choices include Fastrac Place Pacs and Contrac Rodent Place Pacs.
