As with many rodenticide and insecticide products, there are always people that swear that one active ingredient is better than the other. In reality, when placed correctly and other food sources are limited both baits will be very effective. Final bait seems to be more popular with our customers.

Secondary poisoning can occur with Generation Mini Blox but it is a concern with just about any rodent bait on the market.  However, for secondary poisoning to occur your pet would have to consume many dead rodents that ingested a significant amount of the rodent bait.  Typically, most household pets (dogs and cats) do not eat an entire dead rodent, they usually leave them on the doorstep as a trophy.  Also, they would have to find numerous dead rodents around that were accessible and this only happens in very bad infestations.  Most of the time a rodent will die in the wall or underground in burrows.  This being said, there is a new rodent bait on the market that is a vitamin D3 active ingredient which is the safest product to date and greatly diminishes the chances of secondary poisoning, and it poses a very low toxicity to birds.  It is called Terad 3 Blox and you can read more about it by clicking on the product name.

Difethialone (the active ingredient in Generation Mini Blox) is a second generation anticoagulant that has been shown to be very effective on rodents and mice that have been resistant to first generation anticoagulants (such as warafarin).
