    Q
    Approximately how long should you use a particular rodent bait before switching to another?
    Rodents immune systems, over a period of time, gradually become resistant to rodent bait. Currently using Hawk bait with bromadiolone (for the past 6 years). What would be the best chemical types of bait to switch to?
    A

    Rodent baits should be rotated every 4-6 months to prevent resistance.  Fastrac or Ditrac would be a good option to change to.

  • Asked by Edward from Tucson

    Q
    Is the Fastrac Blox effective on pack rats?
    A

    You should place the Fastrac 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 be territorial and will stop other rats from visiting certain stations.

  • Asked by Jonathan from Greensboro
    10/02/2018
    Q
    Is Fastrac All-Weather Blox the strongest rat poison?
    A

    Fastrac All-Weather Blox is one of our most popular rodent baits for outdoor use. Fastrac Blox offers a lethal dose in a single feeding, with the first dead rodents appearing in one or two days after bait consumption. Fastrac must be used in a tamper resistant bait station outdoors to avoid accidental ingestion by non-target animals or children.

    Q
    I have voles in my garden and lawn. Will Fastrac Blox work on them?
    I also have been told that Rodex or DCon has a product that is effective. I have quite a few tunnels so need help immediately.
    A
    Voles have been removed from the labels of rodenticides by direction of the EPA. So while Fastrac will kill voles we cannot recommend you use the product for vole control. The only product that is recommended for vole control now is the old fashioned wooden mouse trap with the extended pedal. The trap can be placed directly in the run of the voles and really doesn't even need to be baited to capture the vole.

    Q
    If an owl parent brings one of your poisoned mice withFastrac All-Weather Blox to feed its owlets will they die?
    A

    Rats that have eaten the Fastrac All-Weather Blox and then die are supposed to be removed and disposed of if they are found. Animals that eat exposed carcasses will usually have to eat many carcasses before they receive enough bait to have a reaction, but a secondary poisoning is possible. Terad3 Blox is a product that has a lower risk of secondary poisoning should a predatory animal eat a rat carcass.

    Q
    Do the remains of dead rodents put out an odor after consuming JT Apple Bait Block?
    an alternative that is approved for use in California.
    A

    Fastrac Rodenticide is a great fast kill rat bait that can be shipped to California. 

    After a rat consumes a lethal dose of the bait of any rodenticide it is possible that the animal can get into an area that is inaccessible making removing the carcass impossible. This can lead to a terrible odor and a secondary insect infestation. While you can bait indoors using a tamper resistant bait station, we strongly discourage it. Baiting outside the structure and using snap traps/glueboards indoors is suggested. If you choose to bait inside, please place rat bait inside tamper resistant bait stations and place the stations out of reach of non-target animals and children.

    Please take a moment to go over our Pest Control Guide for Rodent Control (blue banner at top of Rodent Page)

    Q
    Need help getting rid of rats and mice in my yard
    Hi, We just moved into our new home and there are outdoor animals everywhere. We have rats, ground mice digging up the grass, gofers and raccoon. We would like to start by getting rid of the rats and mice. They are eating into our plastic garbage cans and feeding from there. Can you recommend a product/program we can use to solve this problem? We already set small snap traps for the mice which were tripped by the larger animals and we put out 1 bait box from home depot for the rats which also hasn't been successful (we don't see any of the bait being eaten). We have kids and would like to make sure everything we use is ok to use around kids. thanks
    A
    Fastrac Blox is an excellent bait to use for both the mice and rats. I will say though that if their food source has not been eliminated, they will not go after the bait. That is why the bait that you bought initially is not being touched. I would advise moving the trash cans elsewhere if possible and making sure they are not eating other things in the area. Also, to keep the bait away from the kids, I would advise putting it in a bait box, such the Protecta Rat Bait Station. These boxes lock, and the children would not be able to get the bait out of them.

    Q
    Can Fastrac keep rats from gnawing my car's electrical wires?
    I have already had to replace the wiring for my car, and the rats have gone back to gnawing, as evidenced by new droppings. With what may I coat the wires? Does it actually work? For the record, we placed one of the feeding stations, loaded with poison blocks, under the car in an effort to deter them. It doesn't seem to be working.
    A

    To protect individual vehicles you may want to consider using T-Rex snap traps beneath the vehicle and resting on the vehicle tires overnight. Tamper-resistant rodent bait stations loaded with bait such as Fastrac Blox will help reduce the level of mice and rats if there are more on the property to a more manageable level. These products can be purchased together in our Rodent Kits: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/rodent-kits-c-21_405.html.

    We do also have rodent repellents which you could use around the area where a vehicle is parked to help deter rodents from this areas. Rat Magic is a granule repellent that could be spread easily around the area (do not use indoors such as in a garage).

    Q
    Do you have a poison that has a dessicant in it to reduce the smell from dead rodents?
    A

    When using Fastrac Blox along with any other rodent bait, there is no way to pinpoint where the rodent will die. They could, unfortunately, die anywhere - under couch, in walls, etc. and there can be an odor. The only way to guarantee where the rodent dies is to use traps such as the T-Rex Traps or Victor Tin Cat Mouse Traps.
