Rodents eat it
By New on 09/29/2017
My baiting routine is to place several different baits inside of a rat bait station. This is expensive, but I find that the rodents can choose which bait they prefer. Rodents like this bait. The seem to choose it over other baits placed in the same station. Im not sure how effective it is at killing the rodents, however, because I bait outside my home. I have not seen any dead rodents.

Apple bait block rodentcide
By Andrew on 08/04/2018
The rats can't get enough of this stuff. Yesterday found the box trap flipped open and moved 10 feet. As quickly as I put the bait out its gone. Only problem, my neighbor said she found 4 dead rats on her back yard. This stuff is amazing.

The Verdict is Still Out
By Greg on 04/29/2019
I just got done with a bucket of the JT Eaton Bait Block Rodenticide - Peanut Butter which seemed to work well as the baits were continuously being consumed, to the point where I wondered if I was just providing dinner for the rodent population. So I tried this apple flavor but so far the baits are either nibbled just a little or have not been touched. I guess I probably should have stuck with the peanut butter but live and learn I guess. Maybe the mice will acquire a taste for apple but it's not looking too promising at this point.

Apple bait block
By Debbie on 01/19/2018
According to the manufacturer, there is a medium risk and an antidote of Vitamin K1 is available through your local vet if a dog consumed a portion of the bait. JT Eaton Apple Bait Block Rodenticide should be stored away from extreme temperatures and away from pets. It is applied in tamper resistant stations to avoid pets, wildlife and children from gaining access to the product. Most domestic animals will not consume an entire rodent. It would take them consuming multiple dead rodents that consumed the product. If your pet shows any abnormal symptoms, please contact your vet and provide the SDS.

I worry about a horrible smell.
Rodents that eat the JT Eaton Apple Bait Block Rodenticide (709-AP) will not necessarily go outside to die. There is a high possibility they will die indoors and then you will be dealing with a very foul odor for at least a few weeks. We would recommend trapping rodents indoors using snap traps or glueboards. Trapping eliminates odor problems by allowing you to dispose of the carcass. Please read over our article regarding eliminating rodents indoors for more information.
