Rodent Bait

The use of rodent bait or poison (also known as rodenticide) is a very popular and relatively easy method of rat & mouse control. We supply a number of well known brands including Talon, Tomcat, Ditrac, Contrac and Pest Defence. Baits should be placed in areas that are inaccessible to pets, children and other non-target animals. We highly recommend the use of tamper-proof, lock up rodent bait stations to keep the bait secure and protected from non-target animals, as well as protected from the weather. Rodent baits should be placed in areas where rodent activity is evident, such as runways, near rodent droppings, or near burrows and harbourages. Always wear gloves when handling rodent bait and bait stations. Bait stations should be monitored regularly for rodent activity and baits replenished when necessary.

Benefits of using rodent baits / poison for rat and mouse control:

• Easy to use and place - place the bait in areas of known rat or mouse activity and let the rodent do the work
• Cost effective - the cost per bait block is relatively cheap compared to traps and deterrents
• Set & forget - less monitoring and maintenance required compared to trapping
• Efficiency - many baits are single dose poisons which means a single feed is a lethal dose leaving uneaten bait available for the next rat or mouse
