    Q
    What happens to mice after they eat Contrac Blox?
    I live in a mobile home and I purchased Contrac Blox and scattered it under my home. What happens to the mice after they eat it? How long does it take for them to die? Do they need water for this product to work?
    A

    Contrac Blox is an anti-coagulant which means once the mice eat this product they begin to bleed to death from the inside.  The mice first become sick, and then grow tired and weak and pass in their sleep.  It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on how much the mice have eat…

    Q
    How long do the Contrac Bloxs stay fresh if stored properly in the bucket?
    Does the product fade in time due to opening and closing lid to use product? How effective is this product compared to the individual contract pellet packets?
    A

    Contrac Blox should be used within about 1 year of the purchase date. The active ingredient within the product would most likely stay effective long after 1 year but the food ingredients or the attractants will start to degrade and will no longer be attractive to rodents. Just opening and closing th…

    Q
    Which rodent bait is best for mice in a house that has two dogs?
    I have mice in my house and was wondering which poison is better, Final Blox or Contrac Blox for me? I was reading the info on both and do not really know what the difference is, since they both claim to be the best, which confuses me since they are made by the same company. So my question is which one is best for mice in a house that has two dogs? The bait stations will be placed in areas of the house that the dogs can not get to (attic/basement).
    A

    Contrac Blox is usually preferred in homes with pets and/or children as there is a readily available antidote in the event of accidental ingestion and because of the reduced risk of secondary poisonings (if one of your dogs were to eat a poisoned mouse). Final Blox is used when a fast clean out is n…

    Q
    Will Contrac Blox spoil quickly in the heat?
    I'm in Utah, and I'm using the Protecta bait stations (that look like rocks) with Contrac Blox inside. The daytime temperatures have been as high as 100 Fahrenheit, probably much higher inside the stations. Will this affect the toxicity and/or taste appeal to rats? Very little has been nibbled on, although each nibble seems to have produced a dead rat in the yard. We still have lots of rats which we see every evening/morning. Has the bait lost it's taste appeal after sitting in the bait stations in the hot sun for only 1 or 2 days? It appears that some of the bait has melted just slightly. Should I replace this melted bait, or any bait left in the hot sun for just a few days?
    A

    The Contrac Blox should not spoil from the heat, though as you have noticed it will start to melt if it gets too hot. We recommend that you replace the bait if it starts to mold or if insects have started to infest it. Rats are notoriously cautious and suspicious of new food items and some can take …

    Q
    Why aren't the rats eating the Contrac Blox?
    I ordered a bucket of Contrac blox along with three tamper proof bait stations. I placed 12 blocks in each station, and I threw some extra blocks down the holes they were burrowing in. I put peanut butter in one of the bait stations on the blocks. I opened up all three boxes a week later, and none of the bloxs were touched. Yet, they tried to get into the bucket of left overs I had. They are going into the bait stations, but they are not eating, why is that?
    A

    Contrac All-Weather Blox Rodenticide is not labeled to be used in burrows at all, only for use in tamper resistant bait stations.  Typically, if none of the blocks are eaten then there is a food competition issue.  If there is other food accessible that is more attractive to the rodents then they…

    Q
    How do I know when the mice are gone?
    I have Contrac Blox throughout our house due to mice moving in with the cold weather. The first night a number of them disappeared - even from places I didn't think there were mice. Also, some were nibbled on and we trapped one mouse. How do I know if the bait worked or if they're no longer there? I don't know where the mice took the bait and there is no evidence of mice in the area except for the missing blox? Do I keep replacing the bait bloxs until they stop disappearing? Thanks
    A

    You should keep replacing the bait until the mice stop taking it. You need to place enough bait out each night so that there is left over bait in the morning. This will ensure that each mouse is able to receive a lethal dose. We also highly recommend securing the blox in a tamper resistant bait stat…

    Q
    When the mouse eats the Contrac and then goes off to die, does the decomposing mouse body smell?
    A

    Yes. There is not a rodenticide on the market that stops a decomposing rodent from smelling after they die. There are a lot of "old wives tales" that suggest that there are rodenticides that will make a rodent exit the building after they eat the bait, leave in search of water or dry up immediately …

    A

    When please in Contrac Blox a tamper resistant bait station, it will be kept out of direct sunlight and out of the rain. Lots of rain or extreme heat will cause the bait to deteriorate faster than cool dry weather. Basically, bait that is placed into a station should be inspected every week or…

    Q
    How does the Contrac Blox mouse bait work?
    A

    Contrac Blox contains food ingredients that attract rodents. The rodents then consume the bait. When they receive a lethal amount of bait, they will then expire. Rodent baits should be used in tamper resistant bait stations to avoid accidental contact with children and non-target animals.

    Q
    Is there a rodent bait that is recommended for pack rats in Arizona?
    I found an active pack rat infestation next to our property in Arizona. What is your suggestion with regard to the most efficient method to get rid of them? I already have the Protecta Baiting station that I use with a T Rex Trapper. I would rather not kill them individually with a trap. Is there a poison that would do the trick?
    A

    You can use any of our rodenticides such as Contrac Blox to eliminate pack rats. You should place the Contrac Blox inside of tamper resistant stations to secure the blox so that the rats can not carry them away to unsecured locations. Be sure to place plenty of stations out as this type of rat can b…

    Q
    Is secondary poisoning an issue for cats when using Contrac Blox rodenticide?
    We have mice in unfinished areas of our home (garage, basement, and attic) and we have placed bait boxes with Bell's Contrac in these areas. We are not concerned about primary poisoning with our cats since they not allowed in these areas (and the poison is in boxes that the cats could not even fit into). However, my concern is about secondary poisoning. If a mouse somehow made it to a part of the house where the cats are and one of the cats ate the mouse, could it get secondary poisoning from Contrac? I would really appreciate some feedback as I have received mix answers from asking around, including our vet who was not really sure and suggested we contact you all. Thank you!
    A

    The risk of secondary poisoning with Contrac Blox is very minimal. A mouse only consumes a very small amount of bait at a time and passes it very quickly only keeping a smaller amount in their liver until they succumb to the effects of the bait. A cat would have to actually eat 20-30 mice that have …

    How do I get rid of slugs that are entering my rodent bait stations and eating the bait?
    I have six bait stations with Contrac and notice slugs have really taken to eating the bait. Will it control the slugs too, or am I just losing my bait to them? What should I do to keep slugs out if they are not killed by this?

    Contrac bait will not have any effect on insects. We recommend that you sprinkle a slug bait around the exterior of the bait stations to control the slugs before they enter the stations. We have several slug baits available including Hi Yield Snail and Slug Bait, Sluggo Plus Snail & Slug Killer …

    Q
    How long will it take to Kill a Rat with Contrac?
    Road repair on a major street let some rats into my basement, I sealed up all the holes I think and I placed Contrac Bait in bait stations resulting in a kill of at least one rat. It seemed to me that one rat got stuck in the basement ceiling as well after I sealed it back up. I placed Contrac bait in the basement ceiling and I noticed that the 3 blocs moved. I then noticed 2 little fresh droppings around the area of the blocks, presumably eaten. Based on this, do you think the rat ate enough to die? There is no other food sources in the basement ceiling. How can I be sure that I've eradicated all rats in the basement?
    A

    After a rodent consumes a lethal dose of the Contrac Blox it can take about a week for the rodent to die. You should keep replacing the bait until you do not have any more activity at the bait station because you could have more rodents than you realize, as is often the case.
