will these work with mice or rats?

I wouldn't think so, they have to bite on it. you could probably use a chicken waterer

They work very well with mice so I know rats would not be an issue. I currently have 40 of these nipples watering a colony of mice and they work very well once the mice are weaned at about 3 weeks. I adjusted the small red spring loaded set screw that sets the flow so that about 1/3 is showing above the nipple. Doing this adjustment made it easier for the mice to trigger the flow. I also have the nipples mounted in the top of the cage in a vertical orientation. I do not know if it would be as easy for mice if mounted horizontally.

Yes, Pest Pro Mouse Glue Boards will work for Rats as well, but I can't tell about the big rats; we caught not bigger than three inches long ones.

Hi, I don't know if it works for rats. My problem is with very smart field mice. There are several web sites that give good advice for rodent problems. I will say I did try a mole sonic device in the ground near my problem area. This is suppose to work for all rodents. It did not work. Maybe you would have better luck. Hope you find an good idea that works. Good luck

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

Certainly big enough for a mouse but too small for a rat. Hope that is helpful. The size was not what concerned me. I will give them another try as the weather seems to be sending more of the critters than I can cope with into the house.

No good for mouse or rats. Probably for laboratory mice. I never catch any. Very disapointed.

although I have not tried it, I would say yes, especially after re-reading the product information. It specifically mentions "mice."

I read on one web site that there was talk of banning the ingredient that kills the mice and rats because owls and other birds of prey were catching the rats and mice and it was killing the birds of prey. So if you think that your dogs might eat the mice it would depend on how big your dogs are and how many that they eat. The same would be true with just about any mouse or rat bait some of the bait uses warfarin which is prescribed to people with blood clots and heart patients to thin their blood it is just a regulated dosage. So to be on the safe side you might want to use some traps or glue boards. My main use for this is as a mole poison it seems to work pretty good.

Lol. Yes. They're very sensitive. You can adjust motion sensitivity, though. Mone triggers for insects, so mice shouldn't be an issue.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

Don't know about rats, but I bought 2 and after a brief time both stopped working altogether . Even when they were working they never deterred dogs ( what I bought it for). Don't waste your money, in my opinion. Good luck.

having experience with squirrels inside my downspouts, I would say no, mice or rats (same rodent family as squirrels) would not be impeded by the plastic bristles; their ability to chew is incredible and indeed, they must keep chewing to survive, as otherwise their teeth would get too long. Also I could envision them actually climbing between the bristles with no problem...my advice is look elsewhere for your solution.

I think rats are too big because I have had mice that got off these leaving a patch of grey fur.

My best guess is NO. The opening and "maze" through which the mice go is way too small for even a small size rat... It has been wonderful for getting rid of mice problems though!

I have been getting field mice, which are a lot smaller than rats. I have been getting one per night and throwing it away in the morning when I check the unit. I dump out the dead mouse and dog kibbles, then dispose of the mouse and put the same dog kibble back in to the trap. I am uncertain whether the unit will kill two or more mice at a time. I suggest that you call the rep at 800-737-8927 to find your answer. If you killed one rat, that would fill up the unit.

Do not know about rats,or skunks,because i do not have a problem with them,but Squirrels. I still have them! Did not work for those pesky little rodents. I purchased two of them figuring it would be a double wammy ,but they are still running around the attic.
