Evolve Rat Birth Control Soft Bait Sausages – 1.5 lbs | Scientifically Proven Rat Population Control | Not a Poison, Long-Term Population Management (Packaging May Vary)

So, we live in farmland and have Norwegian rats the size of small dogs... we have tried snap traps and they worked for a while but they were just getting out of hand. I put two recommended doses of this out and started noticing a bit less. Then around two weeks ago rat sightings and noises dropped by 80 percent. Oh we still see them but we are not seeing the hordes we have been fighting. I went to reup the dosing spots tonight and found they ate the ENTIRE bag! This explains the lack of rats! Also the rats have been becoming trap shy and suspicious of new foods. The fact they ate the entire bag of this is just mindblowing. It works! I also dont have to worry about poisons causing harm to our livestock or wildlife! Life is good, ordering another bag!

I bought Evolve Rat Birth Control Soft Bait Sausages expecting population control. What I didn’t expect was to accidentally establish a tiny rodent socialist republic behind my shed. These sausages don’t poison, don’t murder, and don’t spark dramatic soap-opera deaths. Thank the gods! I don’t want to live with mice but I don’t want to murder them and poison other wildlife! Instead, I calmly introduced the concept of collective responsibility to the field mouse community that like to patrol the perimeter of my abode. No more unchecked capitalism of reproduction. No more surprise litters. Just long-term, sustainable population management. From each according to their appetite, to each according to their uteruses remaining blissfully empty. The field mice probably still show up, still snack politely, and still live their nocturnal little micey lives, only now without the relentless pressure to out-breed one another. Frankly, I’d guess they are much calmer. More reflective. Possibly reading tiny manifestos. ⚠️ Important Side Effect Warning: After a few weeks, you may hear faint but unmistakable celebrations coming from the shadows. That’s not wind. That’s the sound of pregnancy-free female field mice toasting their newfound bodily autonomy. Tiny clinks of invisible champagne glasses. Occasional squeaks that sound suspiciously like “solidarity.” Pros: •Not a poison •Long-term population control •Ethically confusing but emotionally satisfying •Promotes rodent liberation & family planning Cons: •You may feel like a benevolent overlord •The mice might unionize next In summary: if you want to control field and deer mice without violence, without guilt, and with a dash of ideological satire, this is the product for you. (I use a bait station weighed down because the raccoons love these and will eat an entire sausage) Five stars for humane pest control and for accidentally running a most progressive program in my backyard.

I have been using for a month. I realize it is too soon to see a difference but I believe there are less babies . I did not want to kill them and I believe this might really work. I will leave an update in a few months.

I had high exceptions, but not everything was ok. 1. The instructions, and a company representative, said there would be small holes in the middle of the sausage bait that's used for stringing them on the bait station wire. There were no holes. 2. The ends of about half of the sausage baits had the insides spilling out, causing the rest of the bait to dry up. I wrote to the company and the representative said, "Unfortunately, Amazon orders do not come directly from us and actually come from Amazon facilities. The bait can be damaged during shipping if not handled properly during the shipping process." So his attitude is, like, hey buyer, your out of luck, a not very supportive response. So my attitude is that this is an Amazon Prime order, so back it goes.

I used this Evolve product last year when I was having a terrific mice problem. I guess they were producing babies as I was catching them in the traps and just couldn't get ahead of the population! Well this product completely turned the situation around. I can't say how many months it took, but suddenly no evidence of even one mouse in the house! I didn't have any Rats, so don't know how effective that would be. I saw very few dead mice, that I anticipated would happen as they aged. I did see some very young ones, a couple of times. I truly believe the Mothers must have left when they weren't producing babies. I don't know what their lifespan is, but I would have expected some adults to be around for a while to the end of their normal life cycle. I did have some traps out for a while. Even so, this product clearly made the difference in clearing them out. I was shocked when I realized they were all gone. I cleaned their mess up and no mess returned, and didn't see any running around for my Rat Terriers to have to chase, and believe me if a mouse gets in the house they'll whine and pace the floor, until it gets caught, but these Deer mice were very smart, so I'm glad they loved those little sausages! They were quick to find and devour them. It was much less painful placing the sausages, than setting and clearing traps. I used a plastic strawberry container, clipping out spacers between the holes on the end, and the mice loved the idea. Mice love to get on tables and furniture, so there was no chance the sausage would roll off to the floor where a dog could get it.

Oh, rats! This isn't the perfect solution to my rat problem, but it will help some. I read the product page carefully, wanting to understand what it was I was buying. When I got it, I was disturbed by the fact that there was information on the product package that I wish had been shown in the picture on the product page. There were many cautions about use and exposure to the skin and eyes. I am almost afraid to touch this stuff, even though the ingredients seem to be fairly innocuous. I smell a rat! I like that this is not poison. I am always concerned about poison having effect beyond the intended target; for example: Insects eating a poisoned corpse, or natural predators like owls and hawks eating a rat that has been poisoned. I did some research to see how this works and found that the cottonseed oil disrupts sperm production in males and blocks egg viability in females. That sounds simple enough and there were reassurances that it does not apply to other animals. However, it is important to note that this means that the birth control is only a temporary thing; It only works while the cotton seed oil is in their system. If you stop using the bait, fertility will return after about 6 weeks. Rats must consume the bait regularly for it to work. If the only thing you are doing is using birth control for rats, it will be a very expensive adventure, especially if the little sausages attract more rats. It could be a never ending problem. Welcome to the rat race! However, I am hopeful for the way that I am doing it. I'm trying to eliminate the rats in my garage. I have sealed off the outside entrances and I am using the birth control inside the garage to eliminate any that have built nests inside the garage cracks in the wall. I have also put up some traps, including one that will electrocute quickly. If these things don't work I'm going to be crying like a rat eating onions. Rat on!

I had a HUGE rat problem in my backyard (I'm talking 10 to 15 rats). It was so bad that one of my neighbors who had complained about my rat problem, actually called the "Health Department" on me. The Health Department sent me letters threatening to fine me for $1500 if I didn't address the problem quickly. But I just didn't have the heart to kill the rats. So I browsed the internet looking for an alternative to killing the rats. I searched and searched the internet until I ran into this product. Although I was a little hesitant at first about buying this product due to its price, I decided to give it a try anyway, as I had no other option available to me and didn't want to get fined. So I ordered this product and bought some “bait stations” to put this product in. Evolve birthcontrol comes in the form of sausages to make the product taste and smell appetizing to rats. Soon after receiving this product, I started putting it in the bait stations that I had bought for it. I then placed the bait stations in my back yard. The rats refused to eat the product at first, so I tried luring the rats to the Evolve sausages by putting little pieces of bread covered with peanut butter in the bait stations. I covered the Evolve sausages with peanut butter as well. Pretty soon, they started eating the Evolve sausages and even seemed to like them. After giving the rats these Evolve sausages for about three months, I noticed that their numbers didn't seem to be on the rise anymore. Although the manufacturer of this product only recommends this product to be given to the rats for four weeks to make them infertile, I decided to give it to them for three months to ensure that all 10 to 15 rats got a sufficient amount of the birthcontrol. About two months later, I noticed that their numbers seemed to be dwindling. I read online that a rat can live anywhere between 8 to 12 months and since these rats had already lived in my backyard for a few months, I knew that they didn't have long to go. Today, seven months later, my property is completely rat free. Not one rat left behind on my property. And the neighbor who had called the Health Department on me, tried to apologize to me for reporting me, but I wouldn't give him the time of day because he broke the good neighbor policy by "ratting" on me. Anyways, I got rid of the rat problem in my backyard WITHOUT KILLING EVEN ONE RAT. And I believe that God is happy with me for that.

We have a rat issue in our neighborhood (they eat my tomatoes and my neighbors large vegetable garden). I do not want to use poisons, and snap traps haven't been effective. It took a few weeks for the rats in our garden to start taking the bait, but once they started, they will empty the station within 2 days. We just started using this product this year - I am hopeful that this will decrease the population over time (I have seen fewer at night - and so far they haven't found my tomatoes - but too early to tell if it will totally save my vegetables). I will say, the larger bag ziplock works - the smaller bags, I have found the zip didn't function and I had to use a rubber band to reclose the bag.

I'm so happy to be able to finally buy this in the UK! I'd previously spent £60 getting it imported from the US as my evil neighbour had poisoned my family of 3 hedgehogs and my rescue birds by throwing rat poison everywhere. It makes no sense that poison that takes days to erode an animals veins and arteries in excruciating pain is available in supermarkets in the UK yet this wasn't. I can say in the year since using this I'd only seen a few elderly ratties plodding around, living out their natural lifespan before dying off... no newbies. This product is groundbreaking in humane population control. I'm thrilled to be able to buy it in the UK. I hope councils start to use it. Make poison illegal!

The rats certainly like it.
