Tomcat Bromethalin Bait Chunx — Rat and Mouse Control Blocks for Agricultural Use, 4 lbs.

The active ingredient in this rodenticide is bromethalin. Unlike first and second generation rodenticides which function as anti-coagulants, bromethalin is a neurotoxin, making it far more effective and faster. First and second generation rodenticides usually require a rat to eat quite a bit of the poison, then you have to wait another 5 to 7 days for the creature to die. Usually more than a week passes before the creature died. This doesn't sound like much, but a week of damage in your garden or in your house can be rather significant. With Bromethalin, one single lethal dose is all that is required to kill the creature. The rat usually dies around 3 days later. Bromethalin, because it is so effective, is also very toxic to humans and pets, so it is far more likely to affect non-targeted creatures too. You will need to wear gloves as it can be absorbed through the skin. Be careful not to inhale small dust particles, although that is unlikely to happen as it comes in blocks. There is no antidote available for Bromethalin poisoning, should someone ingest it, so be very careful if you have kids or pets in the backyard. Unlikely first and second generation rodenticides that are generally less toxic to groundhogs and opossums, bromethalin will kill them. They are not meant to be used that way and it may even be illegal in some areas to kill these creatures using bromethalin, so try not to leave these lying around in your garden in the open. You might end up with more than just dead rats. The same goes for any pets in the area. It is advisable to only use Bromethalin in suitable devices that have a small hole large enough for mouse or rats. Bromethalin is an effective tool for controlling the population of mice and rats in your garden. I really like this product as it is effective, yet affordable too. I find that I use less of this compared to less effective rodenticides. I prefer the blocks compared to the small rice-like granules packets. The granular packets often contain too much bait every per packet. The blocks are much easier to spread and are a smaller portion too. They fit well in mice traps. Using one or two at a time is enough for a particular spot, so they last a long time. There is one thing to note: These are best suited for outdoor or garden use. The reason is that if you use these indoors, the rats are likely to end up dying behind a wall, in the air vent, or in some unknown corner of the house. The smell is not pleasant and can last for a few weeks. If you are looking to handle mice that are inside the house, I would recommend getting an electric mouse trap. That way, they do not end up rotting behind some furniture or wall. This rodenticides are best reserved for outdoor use.

Okay, I see one star to 5 stars. I am not a company spokesman but I can tell you few thing about rats. Number one they are smart, much smarter than you think. I live in the city with restaurants not far from my home and surrounded by neighbors with dogs and cats, rats love to eat their food too. The best poisons are long gone; the government forced them off the market. This is the same bait used by pest control companies. The EPA ban all other poisons several years ago. What you should know is rats are territorial, Once you have killed out one colony another will soon move in if there is a food source. The best method of removing rats is to get rid of their food source. If that is not possible then you need to poison them. Traps don't work. Why? When one rat is caught the other will avoid the traps. Also, you need to make sure it is rats or mice that are eating your bait. My bait was disappearing every night. I set up my game camera only to find possums and raccoons raiding my bait stations. I had to come up with something different. I used a 4 foot long 3.5 inch PVC pipe, blocked off the end to a point that a raccoon or possum could not get into my station. I secured the pipe so that it could not move. I only bait at night. Generally, rats are nautical, they move and feed at night. After I set this station up I started to find dead rats. The one thing about using this poison is that the rats don't usually avoid it but they wander off and die. The other rats are not suspicious of the bait. Mice and rats can reproduce every 90 days and have 8 litters every year. The mice/rat gestational period is only 21 days. You'll never ever get rid of them completely. The trick is to control the population. There is no one who hates rats more than me. I have learned how to keep them under control, but we'll never get 100% rid of them. The best way to control is to eliminate their food source and your neighbors should be doing the same. UPDATE: after only three days the rodent damage stopped, I am not seeing rodents on my camera. I will continue to keep the bait out but this has worked 100%. As long as your neighbors keep feeding their pets outside rodent will keep coming. Control the problem. Your neighbors are not going to change their ways, but you can keep the rodent at bay by baiting them.
