    Q
    What happens if the Rat X packs come in contact with water?
    I have a rat problem under my house in the crawl space. It has water in it. What will happen if I use Ratx throw packs in the crawl space and it comes in contact with water ? Will it give off toxic fumes that is harmful for humans and pets ???
    A

    It is recommended to protect the Rat X application from rain/wet surfaces or conditions. Tamper resistant bait stations or trays could be used to protect the bait from contacting areas where water may be an issue. Inspecting bait points frequently and relocate placements to a dry location if needed.
    Per the product label, replenish packets daily until there are either no more takes, or no rat activity, for 48 hours. Rat X is a non-toxic rodent bait that kills rodents without harming any other species.

    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.

    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
    Do rats develop a resistance or aversion to Rat X?
    It seems they ate it at first but now they aren't.
    A

    It is a good idea to rotate the rodenticides you are using every few applications to prevent any possible resistance issues, but also to keep the bait as attractive as possible. If the rodents are around the same food based ingredients all the time, and they possibly have other food sources in the area, then they will not be as attracted to the bait anymore.

    Q
    If I crush up Rat X and mix with peanut butter will it still kill the Rat if eaten?
    A

    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:

    Q
    Will Rat X kill squirrels?
    I have squirrels & mice / rats that eat from bird feeders.
    A

    Rat X has not been tested on squirrels therefore we cannot advise on the lethal effects it may have. Since squirrels are not a target pest listed on the product label, using it for this purpose would be considered off-label and not recommended

    NOTE: Rat X is no longer available. Please see our other Rat Baits for an alternative.

    Q
    Rodents are eating Rat X but it's not killing them. I am still see signs of rodents gnawing on soap pads, sponges, house shoes etc.
    A

    The kill time for Rat X can take anywhere between 5-7 days. The mice and rats will eat the bait like a food source and Rat X will cause dehydration. You want to continue to bait as long as their is activity to ensure full control. 

    View our Rat Treatment Guide for more information and treatment recommendations.
