FAQs
How do I use these bait blocks?
Place the blocks in a bait tray or covered bait point where rodent activity has been observed. Follow all safety precautions.
Are these blocks safe for use around pets and children?
The blocks contain Brodifacoum, which is poisonous, so it is crucial to keep them out of reach of children and pets. Use tamper-resistant bait stations.
Where should I place the bait blocks?
Place the blocks in areas where you've seen rodent activity, such as along walls, near entry points, or around potential food sources, inside bait stations.
How often should I check the bait blocks?
Regularly check the bait blocks, typically every few days, and replace them when consumed or after they become wet.
What should I do with dead rodents?
Wear gloves when handling dead rodents. Place them in a sealed plastic bag and dispose of them in the trash.
How long do the bait blocks last?
The longevity of the blocks depends on the level of infestation and environmental conditions. Regularly check and replace as necessary.
Can I use these blocks outdoors?
Yes, these blocks are weatherproof and suitable for outdoor use. However, always use in a covered bait point.
What if my pet eats the bait?
If you suspect your pet has ingested the bait, contact your veterinarian immediately and provide them with the product information.
Troubleshooting
Rodents are still present after using the blocks.
Check the bait stations for activity, and replace the blocks if they have been consumed. Relocate stations if needed, and ensure the bait stations are correctly placed and well-stocked.
Bait blocks are disappearing too quickly.
Increase the number of bait stations or the number of bait blocks in each station. Ensure that other food sources are removed to encourage rodents to consume the bait.
Safety concerns about pets or children.
Always place the bait blocks in tamper-resistant bait stations, and position these stations in areas inaccessible to children and pets.
