I've had your problem with mice where cat could not get to them. In two
cases I even had to punch a hole through the wall and patched after
adding poison. I only had one case of a faint odor lasting several days
but usually they desiccate and do not smell. I even toss d-Con in the
attic every now and then.

Cats told me where they were by sitting all day next to the walls where
they could hear scratching.

Critters like mice and bats can squeeze through maybe 1/4 inch openings
and all should be sought out and sealed. Watching TV one night in
basement family room next to the furnace room with a louvered door a bat
scared the hell out of me when it came squeezing out the louvered door
opening and flew over my head.


Frank, thank you for the tips and reinforcement. Feline #1's prior watch-and-wait location had been by the cabinets beneath the kitchen sink. To be pre-emptive I am going to remove the cabinet bottoms and put some d-Con there next.
