Thanks to all for the comments regarding mouse bait. I have tried
using zinc phosfide, but the little rascals won't touch the stuff.
TomCat seemed to work, but I sure had to feed them a lot of the stuff
to do the trick. A bait named "Hawk" seemed to do better. . . less
bait and better knockdown of the mouse/vole population in my orchard.
The bait, by the way, was placed in PVC tees throughout the orchard on
or near established runways.
As I recall from past postings, someone had a real good anti-coagulant
by a name I hadn't heard of. That's the one I'm looking for. It may
have been Ramik Brown as suggested by William Fleming. There were
several days of postings a few months ago regarding the bait, but I
neglected to write down the name of the stuff that was being discussed.
Thanks for all the inputs/suggestions.

There was a discussion some time ago regarding mouse bait for use in
the
orchard. As I recall, it was a bait that was supposedly very
effective.
Does anyone recall that subject? . . . if so, what is the name of the
stuff, who makes it, & where can I buy it? I've been using an
anti-coagulant called "Tom Cat" and it just doesn't seem to be very
effective.
