Rat X should not be mixed with anything as this can cause the bait to sour/mold faster. If rats are not going for it, you need to be sure all other competing food sources are eliminated. Rats are also neophobic which means they are resistant to anything new in their environment, so it can take time for them to adjust to the bait being food, up to 1-3 weeks. If you have rats inside, it is also not recommended to use bait as you cannot control where they are going to die. For rodents inside, it is best to use snap traps and glueboards so you can control where they are going to die. You should also seal up all cracks and crevices outside that are allowing them access to inside. Using tamper resistant bait stations with a rodenticide outside would also help if they are coming and going. We have some guides below that can help as well:https://www.domyown.com/how-to-get-rid-of-rats-a-525.html
