Does this mean that they didn't die from it? How long does it take

Most cause death 4-5 days after consumption. The D-con type pellets are

So this means it's possible they carry the portable bait to their
nest, but still eat it and die later.

at our cabin I wnt to the traps. Three mice later I didn't have another
infestation for a couple of months,

I have this too. and this is my big question, the part I don't get.
They tell me mice reproduce quickly, so how come if I kill two or
three, or even if I just straigten up the house, they disappear for

food they stockpiled, or getting hungry. I thought they had to eat
every day or two.

For a couple weeks I would hear what were probably footstep in the
ceiling of my kitchen, but that stopped months ago. Did they not have
any babies?

Another time I seemed to have none for 18 months, so was I reinfested
or was I just not paying attention?

caught two more a couple weeks ago so
we'll see how long that lasts. Traps... **get traps**!!!
