HOW TO USE RATX® in your home
1. Read all instructions on packaging before beginning treatment.
2. Remove all potential food sources around target area before placing product.
3. Portion the proper amount of RatX® pellets into small cling wrap bags. (You can also use pre-portioned RatX Ready Trays® or RatX Bait Discs® to skip the measuring.) Use 40-60 grams or 1-1/2 to 2 ounces for rats.
4. Place filled cling wrap bags (or RatX Bait Discs®/RatX Ready Trays®) in areas where you have observed rodent activity (10 feet apart in areas with mild to moderate infestations; 5 feet apart with large infestations). If possible, insert RatX® into rat holes and runs.
5. To ensure maximum effectiveness, keep RatX® pellets and disks dry and continue to bait until rat activity ceases. Rats are incredibly resilient, and prolific procreators—don’t underestimate the amount of them on your property. Continue to refill target locations until pellets are no longer eaten. An indicator of rat consumption will be fecal droppings bleached in color and up to 3 times larger than normal rat droppings.
HOW TO USE RATX® outside
1. Read instructions on RatX® product before starting treatment.
2. Look for all other potential sources of food and remove them from the target outdoor area before placing product.
3. Portion the proper amount of RatX® pellets into small cling wrap bags. (You can also use pre-portioned RatX Ready Trays® or RatX Bait Discs® to skip the measuring.) Use 40-60 grams or 1-1/2 to 2 ounces for rats.
4. Place product in outdoor areas where rat activity has been observed. If possible, place RatX® into rat holes and runs. Moisture reduces product effectiveness, so try to keep pellets and/or discs as dry as possible.
5. Continue to refill baited areas until rat activity ceases and pellets/discs are no longer eaten. Many property owners underestimate the amount of rats on their property and stop treatment prematurely, which often results in rapid rat repopulation. An indicator of rat consumption will be fecal droppings bleached in color and up to 3 times larger than normal rat droppings.
ABOUT RAT CONTROL
HOW DO RAT KILLERS WORK?
Many of today’s rat poisons use anticoagulants to kill rats. Anticoagulants take away the blood’s ability to clot, leading to internal bleeding and eventual death. Rodenticides that use anticoagulants are considered inhumane. Plus, these chemicals can be deadly when ingested by people, pets or wildlife making them incredibly risky for use indoors and outdoors.
Anticoagulants also pose the risk of Secondary Kill to pets, wildlife and birds of prey.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF RAT INFESTATIONS
Rat infestations pose serious health risks to humans and pets. Diseases directly transmitted by rats include Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and salmonellosis. Diseases indirectly transmitted by rats include Colorado Tick Fever, the Plague, and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis. If left untreated, rat infestations can also cause serious structural damage to properties of all sizes.
WHAT IS THE COST OF RAT REMOVAL?
Hiring a professional exterminator to take care of your rat infestation can cost you hundreds to thousands of dollars. Using traditional rodenticides may leave you saddled with more problems than you had before begin treatment. With RatX® products, eco-friendly and highly-effective rat control is achievable for less than cost of groceries.
IS THERE A RAT KILLER THAT KILLS WITHOUT LEAVING A SMELL?
Common rodenticides may be effective at killing rats, but they don’t do much about the odor that inevitably surfaces after rats crawl away and die within your walls, floors, or outdoors. The active ingredients in RatX® cause a mummification process within rodents’ bodies, causing bodies to dry out and reducing odor by as much as 90% when compared with other rodenticides. No need to plug your nose when using RatX® Products.
