2X PRE-BAITED Anti Rat Solution Kit | Pre Bait Boxes | indoor/Outdoor Fast & Safe Infestation Control | Rat Poisoning Super Strength | Rodent Poisoning | READY -TO USE, 2 Pack

These are brilliant! This is my 2nd time using them, and both times they've worked. I used them last year when there was a huge rat living by the pond, sure enough the poison disappeared and so did the rat! After spotting another rat the other day I immediately purchased these again, after only 4 days the poison eat been nibbled at and I've not seen any more sightings of the rat. Slightly difficult to open till you get the hang of it, and the poison is kinda hard to open without touching it but it keeps it hidden and means the dogs and child can't get to it

I have a half-dozen of these in my, quite large garden A couple of tears ago I had a real problem wit rats, and one got into the house (apparantly, they walk in through an open door. It brought a few of it's friends to my garage as well. As my neighbour said: "you can gey rid of them inside, but they are still outside" Putting the boxes alongside fences and walls on the boundaries orinall left me with a couple of dead ones (double bag and bin). No sign of one for a long time, but the bait is still being taken ....

Ideal for what I needed

Great

I'm pretty careful when feeding my hens, but one day whilst in the run noticed several big holes in the ground. I check the run daily, so this was one nights work! Rats! I knew I had a couple of wee mice, but the bigger variety is a no no. I'm rural and near farms so I guess it was a matter of time. Only problem is they bother the hens, (pulling feathers and prying for unlaid eggs), not just there for any foodstuffs & water supply. I'm also aware my neighbour has an uncovered compost heap close by. I bought this kit as it had everything I needed to get a good start at rodent control. The only thing I had bother with was the 'lock', only one part of the key is relevant (there are 3) and its just a case of fumble until it unlocks for me. Ideal to do that on a flat surface so as not to spill the toxic contents. I used both the 'pasta' (little bags that look like rat ravioli) 5 portions threaded on to the metal pole, and the grain in the compartments each side. I'm no expert but imagine rats might have different tastes. I placed one box outwith the run and one inside, both covered and weighed down so that only rats had access and not other pets or birds. The following day there was only one hole, however I failed to notice they had used this to burrow under the wire skirt of the eglu run and coop which is placed inside the big 6 meter run, and had a party in there! Each hole I filled with grit and larger stones, adding a ground cover of chicken wire and for double protection boarding the ground over on the inside of the eglu run. It was 3 days before I was rat clear in the run, and finding a tiny access point that they had also burrowed under the outer mesh wire skirt they were no longer getting in. I've kept the bait box within the run temporarily. The box outwith the hen run was empty of poison when checking it 1.5 weeks later so I topped it up with another batch of pasta (5 pieces) and 1 bag of grain. The following day there was a dead rat laying on the ground about a meter away. Glad I got to it before the dogs! A good sign that the kit is doing what I wanted, but I am now very vigilant. I'm not an advocate of using poisons or killing animals, but where I live this could be a huge problem if it went un attended, and moving a rat humanely is just moving the problem to someone else. I would be happy to purchase this product again and use the same bait now I know that the rats are interested in it. The bait boxes will stay in place for the time being until I know I'm clear and used intermittently to prevent it happening again. UPDATE: So after having the two bait boxes in place I have found 8 rats. The hole for the rats to get into the box was too small for a couple, those were found just outwith the box, as they had obviously lay and waited for morsels to be dropped at the entrance way. My bait boxes are covered with crates so I managed to safely take a couple of bits of the 'pasta' and left it just inside the entrance for these larger specimen. Where they haven't been able to reach inside for the bait, the bait box has been nibbled, it doesn't affect the product though. I have repurchased the pasta and a similar grain and have kept the bait boxes in place as there is still evidence of pesky rats in the form of tracks in the recent snow and droppings, a farm has been shut down close by and I think I have the fall out coming my way! I cant see the poison having caused any ill effects to the surrounding wildlife, or my pets and I believe I have managed to find and dispose of the corpses safely, which were big concerns for me. Feel like I have control of the situation which is a relief!

I used these outdoors, and the bait was getting eaten regularly so they were doing there job. I did notice that small grey squirrels could access the traps and eat the bait. This of course might be a problem for some but not for others, but I thought it best to mention the fact.

Good value product. Only been installed two days so waiting to see what happens.

During the first lockdown I set up a more elaborate bird feeding centre (originally just a window feeder) partly through boredom as we were all stuck at home, the birds are entertaining. Set it up along a hedge opposite a window so we could be entertained and bring more nature to us. I didn't forsee that would include RATS! We're two fields away from horse stables, hedgerows and some scrubland link our garden to the stables so I guess they've made rat runs from there since discovering the bird food. First time we saw anything was in broad daylight and noticed movement in the hawthorne hedge, didn't know rats could climb trees and run along thin branches! They were looking at ways to get onto the feeders. Then found a big rat on one of the bird feeders (it's one of these based on a slim metal pole you stick into the ground). Amazed that they'd been able to shimmy up a shiny painted tube. Watched them and they do it with ease. Some grease smeared all up the pole stopped that. After getting over the initial shock of seeing a rat I thought well, what harm are they doing, I'm a nature lover and they're only part of nature so I thought I'd leave them to it if they were just going to feed off the seeds that fell to the ground. But then we saw another and another and after a few months some baby rats, a whole family of rats! We started to worry about our neighbours and their reaction if they saw our garden full of rats or the rats were to go into theirs. I then started finding evidence they were digging and burrowing at the foundations of the house and neighbours fence. They were also putting off the birds when they were near the feeders. Enough was enough. I bought two Roshield rat trap boxes through Amazon and caught nothing, a few weeks later I tried the Roshield bait boxes and again nothing, just more rats! I put a wildlife camera near the entrance to these boxes to find out what was going on and mice were frequently going inside to eat the seed and bait (little teeth marks in the bait, not rat teeth) but the rats just investigated from the outside sniffing around but they could obviously smell a rat! They never went inside the boxes. I also tried the Roshield bait spray and the boxes were outside for months so the new plastic smell would have gone. I also tried a roller fitted to the top of a 25 ltr bucket of water but only caught mice that way. Rats are too smart, not wary, they'll happily come out in broad daylight if it's quiet. So I spent a lot of money and bought an air rifle, now all the rats are gone...... for now.
