Its the time of year when all the mice come in from the fields. Some

This year the stuff I got from B&Q (but made by Rentokil) looks to
be a grain coated in some kind of blue stuff, which I guess is the
poison. The stuff seems to be having little effect on the mice.
Inspecting the "food troughs" I have left around the attic I note
that almost all the grain as been eaten and I am left with a
considerable pile of blue skins or husks which was the coating from
the grain. Its remarkable, but I suspect I am feeding rather than
poisoning my
mice.

Anybody else run into this sort of thing? Or any suggestions on
where I can get better mouse poison which actually works. I note
that B&Q, and Homebase are both selling rebranded versions of the
blue coated grain from Rentokil. I suspect that many other hardware
stores are doing the same, but I cant open and inspect their goods.

I believe it takes time before they die in agony.

they don't die in agony, they simply fall asleep and don't wake up
