Not when my parents had them in their loft, hence how I know the device above works. They called Rentokill who used the poison, one clearly took the bait, died in the house and then there was a nasty smell for ages and the house was full of flies.

I saw a program where they used the battery powered killer and sceptical but desperate they bought one. A few days later they were lying in bed, heard a massive squeak and realised it came from the loft. My dad gingerly went into the loft, checked the trap and there was the first dead one.

After some investigation they noticed the air grills on next doors property were rusted away and this was how they were getting in, going under the floor then climbing up the inside of the walls.

The previous owners of the house had only lived there for a year before they sold it so they must have known and hence sold up.
