Q

Will Rat X will still be effective if I see where the mouse has thrown it up?

A

It would really depend on how much Rat X the rodent has already consumed. Mice need to consume at least 10-15 grams of bait (1/3 – ½ oz) for a lethal dose. Per the product label, continue to supply fresh bait until you have had at least 48 hours without any takes on the bait.

Q

What would you recommend if rats won't eat Rat X?
I bought the rat-x poison from walmart and rats won't eat. They like dog food or cat food. What do you recommend?

A

If they’re not going to the Rat X, you might try using traps like the Trapper T-Rex Rat Traps baited with dog or cat food since that’s what they seem to be attracted to. Be sure that there are no other competing food sources in the area. You may also want to take a look at our Rat Control …

Q

Will moldy RatX still kill rats?

A

Rat X could potentially kill a rat even if it is moldy but they may not be attracted to it enough to consume a lethal dose if it is not palatable. We recommend offering fresh bait. If the product is moldy, it would be highly recommended to replace it.

If you are not using a rodenticide such as Rat X in a secure rodent bait station, then it is absolutely possible that another non-target animal is consuming the bait. Keep in mind, too, that rats will hoard food, so they make take a lot of loose bait and not consume it all right away. Be sure to follow the label instructions for size and frequency of bait placements, as well as placing bait in stations to protect it from non-target animals like pets, from weathering, and from being translocated easily. You can also make packs of bait and place them directly in burrows, per the label instructions.
