i have been breeding feeder rats for a year and a half and have never seen anything like what i saw today. i walked into my house and didnt hear anything moving. i usually hear my rats in the rack running around. so i walked over, looked in, and 182 rats out 400 were dead, 203 where just twitching and the 15 live ones where hiding under the dead and twitching ones. i asked my girlfriend if she did anything different in the house today and she said she plugged in 2 of those ridex things at about 9am. i noticed all them dead by noon, along with my ferrets twitching as well. has anyone else ever had this happen?

Suposably they don't work anyways, regardless aren't they ultrasonic pest drivers rather than poison?

If they are that is the most likly cause of death, driven crazy by pain. And they were unable to escape, most likely died of a stroke.

Although there are other potential causes of death, do you have a CO detector.

I would discontinue use.
