<p>d-CON brand, the trusted authority in rodent control products, recently launched <a target="_blank" href="http://www.d-conproducts.com/whatsnew.html">Bait Paste Pouches</a>.  They are the first bait that can be placed safely out of the reach of children and pets.  The moldable bait is sealed in a plastic pouch, making it safe to touch.  It also can fit into small spaces, including crevices and cracks, where mice can get to it but children and pets cannot.  It comes in a resealable container to add another level of safety and is small enough to be stored out of reach.  And at a retail price of only $5.99, it’s a small investment towards preventing what could turn into a much more expensive problem if not handled immediately.  With weather conditions primed for rodent season, which peaks on November 15<sup>th</sup>, it’s a good product for people to have on hand!  </p>
<blockquote><p><strong style="font-size: 16px; color: #333; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'">Why are d-CON® Bait Paste Pouches™ a good solution for your household?</strong></p>
<ul type="square" style="font-size: 18px; margin: 10px 0px 0px 22px; color: #e90214; padding: 0px">
<li><span style="font-size: 80%; color: #000000; font-family: Trebuchet MS">Their flexible material lets you put them out of reach of children and pets in the smallest crevices and cracks.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 80%; color: #000000; font-family: Trebuchet MS">Mice take the bait and then leave.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 80%; color: #000000; font-family: Trebuchet MS">d-CON® Bait Paste Pouches™ are palatable to mice.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 80%; color: #000000; font-family: Trebuchet MS">They are moisture-resistant, so they&#8217;re perfect for use in damp environments and humid climates.</span></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
