    Q
    Dose rat x small after they eat it
    We don't want it to small after they eat it
    A

    Are you asking if the rodent will smell after they consume the bait and then succumb from ingesting Rat X? If so, the answer is yes. There are no baits on the market that stop the rodent from smelling as they decompose. You will need to remove the carcasses as you find them.

  • Asked by Aimee
    04/17/2019
    Q
    Does putting syrup on RatX prevent it from working properly?
    A

    Rat X is already made with food-based additives that are appealing to rodents so additional additives are not needed and should be avoided.  Adding additional materials to the bait can cause the rodents to avoid it altogether, or may deter them from feeding on enough of the product to consume a lethal dose.

    Q

    Q
    Is Rat X safe for chickens?
    I have chickens and would like to put the throw packs out there
    A

    Rat X is safe for chickens & other animals as long as used in a secure bait station. If you throw the pack out there openly, it is not only illegal but you are also putting other animals at risk of consuming it.

  • Asked by Ann from Newark Notts
    02/11/2023
    Q
    Why aren't rats eating this bait, there's no other food source or water, but they are just not eating any
    My neighbours cat spends a lot of time in my garden, so am relying on non poisons, e. G Rat x, but it's just not working, if you can't mix with other food, how do you get them to eat it.
    A
    Just like people, rodents and animals need food and water daily to survive. I can assure you that if they are still healthy and alive and running around that they are 100% getting food and water from somewhere in the environment. Whether its from your garden, something underground, acorns from trees, or a variety of other resources they would naturally survive on throughout the year when you aren't baiting. There is not a way to force a rodent to eat something they do not want anymore than you could do so to a human. If you use baits without a secondary poisoning risk such as Fastrac Blox or Fastrac Soft Bait inside secured bait stations around the property, you would be able to control the rodents with a stronger bait and without risk of the cat being impacted. A popular bait station and Fastrac combo we have together in a kit would be a great choice for your situation and you can view it here: Protecta Sidekick Station with Fastrac Blox. There is still no guarantee with any bait that you put out that the rodent is going to go to it immediately or like it over whatever they are already feeding on currently. However a bait like the Fastrac would at least give you an option with more attractive ingredients and smells within it that are more common to what they would feed on. Keep in mind that rodents are cautious of new things and it can take a few weeks for rodents to go to bait placements in stations or places you put them.
