    Q
    Should the Contrac Rodent Pellet Place Pacs Rodenticide be opened or left sealed?
    I have the Contrac Rodent Place Packs, and I have read all the instructions for use. I'm just not sure where it says to open the packs or not. I have NOT opened them, but I've placed them closed in cupboards and closets today.
    A

    It is not recommended or required to open the place packs such as Contrac Rodent Pellet Place Pacs Rodenticide. Gnawing and chewing paper, cardboards, etc is a natural behavior when rodents are in search of food or nesting supplies.

    Q
    Are Contrac Place Packs poisonous to dogs and cats?
    A neighborhood dog ate some Contrac Place Packs. We are trying to call and my bug people aren't answering. Is this poisonous to dogs?
    A

    Contrac can make a pet sick, but every veterinarian has the antidote.  Contrac is actually a good product if a pet gets into it because the antidote is vitamin K and easily accessible.  You should definitely call your vet immediately and probably have the dog looked at just to be safe.

    Q
    And if I put out poison it will not make them want to chew more water pipes? correct? I did trap a large field mouse with very long teeth, looked like he could not have closed his mouth.
    A

    The size of teeth will vary from mouse to mouse, just like our teeth are all unique.There are four basic steps to eradicating mice. 1.) INSPECTION

    Mice may live alone or in groups. In order to assess the severity of the problem and to get a better idea of where to bait and trap, you will first n

  • Asked by Ed from Gallatin, Tn 37066

    Q
    Can I get the Contrac Rodenticide in a smaller quantity, perhaps 50?
    I don't need this large a quantity (250?). I am an individual and I am afraid that the shelf life might expire before I could use them all.
    A

    Unfortunately due to new rodent laws that were passed in June of 2011, certain anticoagulants can no longer be sold in smaller quantities.  They have to be sold in 8 or 16 pound increments.  This is a regulation passed by the EPA and has nothing to do with us.

    Q
    Just wondering, why you are not following the EPA's new guidelines regarding rodenticides and consumer packaging. These were set into place June 4, 2011.
    A

    All companies that sell rodent baits are allowed to sell their complete inventories. After the inventory with the old labels have been spent, the new guidelines will be followed. This was written into the EPA guidelines. We always follow current guidelines and laws that are in place by the EPA.

    Q
    I have seen 2 mice within the past 6 months and have purchased Contrac place packs from you. They worked...
    on the first mouse, but I saw another one last night and have put more Contrac out. Can you tell me what more an exterminator might be able to do? I just don't want to pay a big price for nothing. Thank you.
    A

    Contrac Rodent Place Packs can only kill the mice as they are attracted to the bait but it will not stop them from coming indoors in the first place. A reputable pest control operator would find ways to exclude mice from your home and this is a job you could potentially do yourself. Here is a step b…

    Is strychnine grain for rats available?
    A

    We are not familiar with strychnine grain but we can tell you that as of this year the EPA has banned many rodent control products and severely restricted others so you may have problems finding products that are old favorites. We do carry a wide variety of rat baits which you can find by looking he…

    Will Contrac Rodent Place Packs kill wild birds if eaten?
    A

    We have never heard of birds going inside rodent stations and we have never read that it was an issue.  Since Contrac Place Packs comes in a hard bait form, it would be unlikely that even if birds did get into the station they would not find the bait very appealing and/or they would not be ab…

    How does Quintox affect secondary pets, such as if a cat or dog caught the poisoned rat?
    Is Quintox safer to use around domesticated animals?
    A

    Quintox has been discontinued by the manufacturer and it can be tox to a pet if they ingest the product. An animal usually doesn't eat a dead rodent; they usually play with it. We would recommend Contrac Rodent Place Packs in its place. It is not only a great product, but you can readily fi…

    Q
    Do you have a version of Contrac with a bittering agent?
    A friend of mine works for a pest control specialist and recommended using contrac with a bittering agent so if my cat does get a mouse that has eaten poison, it would be highly unlikely to try to eat it.
    A

    Contrac Rodent Place Packs do not contain a bittering agent. Gladiator All Weather Blox contain a bittering agent. Gladiator is just as effective as Contrac and will kill with in 1-2 days after consumption.

    Q
    Can I put place packs behind the oven in the kitchen?
    Curious if place packs are safe to place behind appliances (e.g. refrigerator, oven, washer/dryer), not in a bait station. I have no kids or pets.
    A

    Contrac Rodent Pellet Place Packs can be placed indoors behind appliances, inside wall voids, or in areas that are inaccessible to pets and children without using bait stations. If using outdoors, tamper-resistant bait stations are mandatory.

    Q
    How much Contrac must be eaten before death?
    A

    The Contrac All-Weather Blox  is a single feed rodenticide. Single feed means a rodent can consume a lethal dose of Bromadiolone in one feeding, resulting in death within 1-5 days. The number of blox you will use is undeterminable because the rat/mouse has to locate and consume the bait. How much b…

    Q
    Can I open the Contrac Place Packs and use them in Protecta bait station, similar to Contrac blocks
    A

    You do not need to open the Contrac Rodent Pellet Place Pacs Rodenticide. The rodents will chew through them. Bait should not just be placed out in the open, so using any bait station is ok.
