Tomcat Rat & Mouse Killer Child & Dog Resistant, Refillable Station for Indoor and Outdoor, 1 Station and 15 Poison Refills

Killed all the rats in 3 days which was very surprising. It did come smaller then I thought it would be. Just be careful with pets tho my cat ended up licking it and threw up a lot but it did survive and it's okay now.

The active ingredient in this rodenticide is bromethalin.Unlike first and second generation rodenticides which function as anti-coagulants, bromethalin is a neurotoxin, making it far more effective and faster. First and second generation rodenticides usually require a rat to eat quite a bit of the poison, then you have to wait another 5 to 7 days for the creature to die. Usually more than a week passes before the creature died. This doesn't sound like much, but a week of damage in your garden or in your house can be rather significant. With Bromethalin, one single lethal dose is all that is required to kill the creature. The rat usually dies around 3 days later.Bromethalin, because it is so effective, is also very toxic to humans and pets, so it is far more likely to affect non-targeted creatures too.You will need to wear gloves as it can be absorbed through the skin. Be careful not to inhale small dust particles, although that is unlikely to happen as it comes in blocks. There is no antidote available for Bromethalin poisoning, should someone ingest it, so be very careful if you have kids or pets in the backyard.Unlikely first and second generation rodenticides that are generally less toxic to groundhogs and opossums, bromethalin will kill them. They are not meant to be used that way and it may even be illegal in some areas to kill these creatures using bromethalin, so try not to leave these lying around in your garden in the open. You might end up with more than just dead rats. The same goes for any pets in the area. It is advisable to only use Bromethalin in suitable devices that have a small hole large enough for mouse or rats.Bromethalin is an effective tool for controlling the population of mice and rats in your garden. I really like this product as it is effective, yet affordable too. I find that I use less of this compared to less effective rodenticides. I prefer the blocks compared to the small rice-like granules packets. The granular packets often contain too much bait every per packet. The blocks are much easier to spread and are a smaller portion too. They fit well in mice traps. Using one or two at a time is enough for a particular spot, so they last a long time. There is one thing to note: These are best suited for outdoor or garden use. The reason is that if you use these indoors, the rats are likely to end up dying behind a wall, in the air vent, or in some unknown corner of the house. The smell is not pleasant and can last for a few weeks. If you are looking to handle mice that are inside the house, I would recommend getting an electric mouse trap. That way, they do not end up rotting behind some furniture or wall. This rodenticides are best reserved for outdoor use.

This Stuff Works !We had a serious rat problem. We tried everything to no avail. Until we bought this stuff, it took a day or two be it totally eliminated rat issue. I give it a 10 out of 10 !

It seems to be very effective my only problem is they don’t shrivel up like with other baits. They just die so you have to be sure to find them or they stink. That’s an issue in a garage or shed setting with a lot of stuff. I have one in my home garage in the country, one in the shed, and one in my automotive shop (fake rock bait boxes I mean). I only took the one star away due to them dying and stinking but it’s better than them causing literal thousands of dollars in damage chewing wires on vehicles.

Oh man, I have been waiting to write this bad boy for a minute.So, my wife and I moved into our new home with limited signs of mice evidence. I did notice some droppings around our water heater, but assumed they were old and well taken care of. Fast forward a year and we were being ATTACKED! It went from no mice activity to holes in our dog food bags, crawling in the walls, and eventually them running around in the house. The house was the last straw...I began battle.Naturally I went for the cheapest options first. We did wooden mouse traps with peanut butter. They would get set off and the peanut butter would be gone, but no mouse. Next, giant wooden rat traps. Same story. Then, sticky pads and traps combined. Got two kills with the sticky pad, but the mice still seemed to begetting off of them somehow. I WAS LOSING MY MIND! The freaks were still running around the house and pooping everywhere. My whole garage smelled terrible and it was seeping into the house. I would even flip the light on real quick and peak my head into the garage only to see them sitting on my golf bag staring at me. They didn't even care. I took that personally and decided there were no longer any rules.I bought 24 JAWS mouse traps from amazon. These were not as productive as I would have liked, but I was getting kills. Then it happened, 1 RAT (bc this motherlover was huge) got caught in three traps at the same and was still flailing around in my garage. I grabbed my shovel and took its head. The line had been crossed. I was committed.POISON, it had to be done. I read reviews for hours and everyone seemed to have the same issues I did. So I got the bait and spread it in 3 of the main locations I saw activity. They ate it fast, like within the hour. Every time one disappeared, I replaced. Eventually the bait stopped disappearing. Then came the smells. Mice dying in my vents and walls. From what i've read, that will go away.BUT THEN! And you aren't gonna believe this nonsense...My wife and I are watching TV downstairs and something caught her eye. There was a flipping rat sitting within a couple feet of us staring at our Xmas tree. She flipped, I flipped, our son laughed. It didn't move. I walked up to it. Nothing, it stood cold. The poison must have it messed up in the head, right? I decided to sweep it into a box; didn't have to. I put the box down and walked right in. After staring at it for twenty minutes I realized what had to be done. I took it outside and removed it's head with my shovel. The dded was done.Now we wait....Listen, this stuff will solve your problem. But when the time comes, you will have to "take matters into your own hands".God's Speed.

Used with Protecta EVO Ambush Bait Stations I also purchased on Amazon. Had a mouse living in our patio couches this spring. Within 24 hours found mouse out of commission. Seems to be very effective
