Try Gladiator All-Weather Bait Blox - same active ingredient as Fastrac Blox for a little cheaper!

Product Documents
Fastrac Blox from Bell laboratories is a quick and effective solution to controlling populations of rats and mice, especially Norway rats, Roof rats and House Mice. Fastrac Blox are small, rough, all-weather baiting blox with many gnawing edges and a hole through the center for placement on Protecta Bait Station securing rods. (However, this bait may be used in any bait station). They are colored green for easy identification. BLOX work well in any condition -- wet or dry, indoors or out. Fastrac Blox offers a lethal dose of active ingredient bromethalin in a single feeding, with the first dead rodents appearing in one or two days after bait consumption. The active ingredient bromethalin poisons the central nervous system, causing the rodent to stop feeding after ingesting the poison, so more rodents can be controlled with less bait. Determine areas where rats or mice will most likely find and consume the bait. Generally, these areas are along walls, by gnawed openings, in or beside burrows, in corners and concealed places, between floors and walls, or in locations where rodents or their signs have been seen. Protect bait from rain and snow. To increase effectiveness, remove as much alternative food as possible so that rodents will seek the bait first. For rats, place 2 to 12 blocks per placement (usually at intervals of 15 to 30 feet). For mice, use 1 bait block per placement at intervals of 8 to 12 feet in infested areas. Dead rodents will begin to show up in one to two days, and should be disposed of immediately. Warning: This bait does not have an antidote. In other words, there is no known agent to neutralize or counteract the effects of Bromethalin poisoning. While it does take a relatively large amount of bait for poisoning to occur, children, pets, and non-targeted animals should not be exposed to Fastrac Blox. Available in 128 x 15 (4 lb bucket of 15gm blox) resealable pails. A hole in the center of each block allows it to be placed on bait securing rods in tamper resistant bait stations.
USE RESTRICTIONS:
For control of Norway rats, roof rats and house mice. When used in USDA-inspected facilities, this product must be applied in tamper-resistant bait stations. Do not broadcast bait.
For Use in Urban Areas: This product may be used in and around the periphery of homes, industrial, commercial, and public buildings. May also be used in transport vehicles (ships, trains, aircraft) and in and around related port or terminal buildings. May also be used in alleys.
For Use in Non-Urban Areas: This product may be used inside of homes and agricultural buildings.
SELECTION OF TREATMENT AREAS: Determine areas where rats or mice will most likely find and consume the bait. Generally, these areas are along walls, by gnawed openings, in or beside burrows, in corners and concealed places, between floors and walls, or in locations where rodents or their signs have been seen. Protect bait from rain and snow. Remove as much alternative food as possible.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:
Rats: Place 2 to 12 blocks per placement (usually at intervals of 15 to 30 feet). Adjust the amount of bait applied to the level of rat feeding expected at each bait placement.
For use in sewers, thread wire through block and securely attach to a stationary structure such as the bottom step of a manhole ladder or a sewer grate. Allow just enough wire for the block to rest on manhole benching. If benching is not present, suspend block a few inches above the high water mark or secure block on a board supported by opposing steps of the ladder. Securing block in this manner will prevent removal by rats or water. Use at least 15 blocks per manhole. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 10 days or until signs of rat activity cease.
Mice: Use 1 bait block per placement. Space placements at intervals of 8 to 12 feet in infested areas. Larger placements, up to 4 blocks, may be needed at points of extremely high mouse activity.
Baiting Strategy: Highest bait consumption is expected to occur on the first day or two after treatment begins. After several days, inspect the placement and replenish bait at sites where there is evidence of heavy feeding or where there is continued evidence of rodent activity. Normally, the volume of bait consumed will be significantly less with bromethalin baits than with anticoagulant baits. Although one night's feeding will usually provide a lethal dose, maintain bait for at least one week to provide all rodents a chance to feed on the bait. Continue baiting until all signs of feeding have ceased. Collect and properly dispose of all dead, exposed animals and leftover bait. To prevent reinfestation, limit sources of rodent food, water, and harborage as much as possible. If reinfestation does occur, repeat treatment. Where a continuous source of infestation is present, establish permanent bait stations and replenish as needed.

Excellent Rat Bait - Fast Acting
By D. on March 6, 2011
Verified Purchase
I have used Fastrac Blox in tamper resistant bait stations around the farm buildings and grain bins for the past 4+ years to prevent rats. The bait has done an excellent job and is long lasting in the bait stations, whether they are placed in the farm buildings or outside by the walls. I have placed some of these around my mother’s house (in a city) where roof rats have been found and they seem to be gone as well. The key reason I chose and continue to use these blocks is the active ingredient Bromethalin. Based on my research, this is the fastest acting agent, much faster than the anticoagulant baits. I can also use less of it per bait station, since the rats die sooner and do not come back to feed as often. I have found dead mice that never made it out of the bait station. In fact, I notice that I never run out of bait, before it is time to change the blocks out (every 6 months or year, depending on whether the bait station is indoors or out). When I started out, I changed the bait more frequently, but now I am in ‘maintenance mode’. Do My Own Pest Control has met my expectations with regard to customer service. I have called them several times, and have bought other products from them. Shipping speed is excellent. I plan to continue to purchase my bait needs from them.

These guys save me money
By Pete on September 27, 2010 Verified Purchase
I can control the rats around my house for a small fraction of what one of the big outfits would charge me. We have an acre with lots of ivy and fruit trees, rat heaven! Not any more. The supplies I have bought from DMOPC are professional quality and priced right (I shopped around). Do a little research and handle those rascals yourself, save big MONEY.

well...it worked!
By Sa on January 16, 2012Put the bait down, and we had dead quiet within days. What was possibly a burgeoning population in our partially inaccessible crawlspace has ceased to exist. I had thought that we'd be able to crawl through and collect at some of their little stinking bodies, but we can't seem to find any. They seem to be in the footings of the walls. So, there has been a smell (worst in the first 4 days, but now two weeks later is barely noticeable), but with some creative air venting with some fans through an upstairs window, it wasn't too much of an issue. Not a perfect solution, but trapping wasn't working for us anymore, and I'm glad we went this route. Definitely recommended.

Fastrac Blox Issues You May Need To Deal With
By D on December 10, 2011 Verified Purchase
Fastrac attracks possums. So if you have any in your area they will empty the bait boxes night after night. I stopped filling the bait boxes and set up a live trap to eliminate the possum problem. So far I have captured four possums. We live in a developed neighborhood, so I was surprised I had to deal with this. We have used Contrac Blox in the past without the possum issue. Too early to tell how effective Fastrac is on the rats.

Very effective, works quickly.
By Kent on February 9, 2013 Verified Purchase
We discovered a significant infestation of rats in our attic. I placed these blocks and the next day they were all gone. I placed some more and the next day only two were gone. The rats have now all died. The only disadvantage of using poison in the attic is that they died in inaccessible areas and we have been able to smell them for the last several days.

It seems to have done the trick
By Robynn on December 21, 2012 Verified Purchase
I was over run with critters in the attic and the walls. I believe it was squirrels and mice. I cut back trees and put out the poison outside, we were lucky to have some bright sun-shiny 40-degree days (late fall in Vermont). I filled six pest control black box bait stations around the house outside. The critters seem to have gone out of the house to eat. They did eat up this stuff they seemed to love it. I stopped hearing them over head almost immediately. I placed some bait inside near water pipes where I saw activity and they drug the bait down the hole, so I shoved a bunch of bricks into the hole too, and that seems to have killed them. I have found a few dead mice where I could pick them up. I have been lucky not having a bunch of dead animals smelling up the walls. I am glad that I bought this product. I knew that I was working against the clock of harsh winter and my window would close for animals going outside for food. This worked fast!

Fastrac Blox, the only thing the mice eat.
By DM on October 19, 2012 Verified Purchase
Yes this really does work and it’s the best I’ve found. I’ve tried Contrac Blox, Terad3 Blox, Final Pellets, Ditrac All-Weather Blox But the field mice as well as the Pack rats here in Arizona only seem to eat Fasstrac Blox on a regular basis. It’s important to make sure there are enough bait boxes for the area. Follow the instructions on the pail. Also make sure to check the bait often enough. I must check bait every 6 weeks. I did not get great results until I follow the two statements above. Last time I checked I had 6 dried out carcasses around the house. The biggest negative? (Cost.)

Pail of 128 bait blocks and 6 bait stations
By Paul on September 18, 2012I live in as rural area in the Texas Panhandle, and was semi-controlling mice with traps. This was time consuming, and seemed the mice procreation was keeping ahead of me. This method of bait blocks and effective bait stations is working much better. I simply find dead mice and put in a can for disposal. I have 3 cats (2 kittens) and called to find it will not harm them unless they eat their body weight amount or more. So far, all they do is play with the dead critters. I am very pleased with this product!!

April 23, 2010Michael asked:
QIs there an expiration date on the Fastrac Blox?
ANo. We recommend using the bait within a year of the purchase date. While the active ingredient will last indefinitely, rodent baits include food based ingredients and can start to degrade over time making them unattractive to rodents. You should store bait in a cool, dry environment to keep them fresh longer.

QWill the dead rats killed by this poison effect other animals should they eat the rat carcass?
ARats that have eaten the bait and then die are supposed to be removed and disposed of if they are found. Animals that eat exposed carcasses will usually have to eat many carcasses before they receive enough bait to have a reaction, but a secondary poisoning is possible. Terad3 Blox is a newer product that has a lower risk of secondary poisoning should a predatory animal eat a rat carcass.

QCan I dip Fastrac Blox in bacon grease?
I've used bacon grease to attract norway rats to a bait station in the past, and they seemed to love it. Can I dip Fastrac Blox in bacon grease before placing them in the bait station, or will this affect the poision?
AWe do not think dipping Fastrac in bacon grease would affect the poison in the bait, but the bait is made from food sources to attract the rodents. We would recommend trying the bait as is at first as it is manufactured to be attractive to rodents as it is.

QWhat can I do to get rid of an outdoor rat problem?
I have been battling an outdoor rat problem for some time now. The problem is in my front yard, and I live in a row of town houses. I believe the problem is coming from under my neighbors deck. They have a lot of clutter and garbage. I've called the NYC Department of Health, and they have come out a few times but done nothing. In May, I purchased three bait boxes and filled them with Contac blox and Fastrac blox. I also (with the neighbor's permission) threw some poison under their deck into the burrows. Over the next few days, we found about seven dead rats. I thought the problem was over. I have not seen any more dead rats since, but the bait goes missing. Could they not be dying? Dying elsewhere? Could there be so many rats that the problem isn't resolved six months later?
Last night, I heard some banging around outside. I looked out my window, and I saw what seemed to me a HUGE rat with it's head in the bait box. It was trying to get its body in but couldn't. It just kept moving the box around. When it finally gave up it, it walked across my front yard and activated my motion light. I could see more clearly, but I couldn't see its face. This was bigger than any rat I have ever seen, and it had a very long, hairless tail dragging. It was brown, the size of a cat, fat and was waddling. Could this have been a rat? I live in NYC, there isn't much wild life here.
I'm not sure what else to do or if anything can be done about my rat problem. This is very nerve wracking coming home after dark and wondering if you're going to spot a rat.
AYou are on the right track, but you may need to put out more bait boxes in more locations around your property. Once the rat eats the bait, they will usually be dead in 1-5 days depending on which bait they ate and how much of the bait they ate.Rats will die wherever they succumb to the bait which may or may not be in a visible area. Be sure to keep the bait boxes filled with fresh bait for best results. And yes, you could potentially have a rat population so large that it takes many, many months to get rid of them. Another explanation of course is that nothing has been done in the way of cleaning up your neighbors property, so new rats keep moving in to take over the space left behind by the rats that you have already eliminated. As for the huge "rat" that is the size of a cat that could not fit into the bait box? This was most likely an opossum. Rat bait boxes are made so that larger animals like raccoons and opossums cannot fit inside of it to avoid accidental poisoning of non-target animals.

QIs Final Blox efficient against field mice infestation? I have already purchased 18 lbs without any result.
I also have squirrels and rabbits near by my house, and I suspect that they're sharing this food with them. I wish for some help in this regard, or if you have other products for field mice.
AVoles, also known as field mice, go through periods where their numbers suddenly explode. During these times a property that normally only has 50 or so voles can suddenly have 1,000 voles. If the voles on your property are going through this type of population explosion, keeping up with their numbers can be daunting. Final Blox will kill voles if they are indeed eating it but you must always keep the bait available. You need to keep applying the bait or switch to a bait that works a bit faster such as Fastrac Blox. Be sure to place the bait into tamper resistant bait stations to avoid having non-target animals ingest the bait. Place the bait stations directly into the travel paths that the voles have made. For more tips please take a few moments to read our article on Vole Control.

March 2, 2012Terry from Cocoa, Florida asked:
QWhich rat bait poison do you recommend for use in the stations?
AOur three most popular rat baits are: Fastrac Blox- which offers the fastest kill (about 12-24 hours) and is considered the top choice for rodent infestation cleanouts. Many folks choose Fastrac Blox because it is one of the few that can still be purchased in the smaller 4 lb pail. Contrac Blox - kills in about 3-7 days and is usually chosen as a maintenance bait. Contrac also has a readily available antidote in case of accidental ingestion by non-target animals or children. Final Blox - Kills in about 2-4 days and is used when there is still a high pest pressure and then as a maintenance bait.

QWhat is the best rat bait or poison to use outdoors?
AFastrac Blox All Weather Blox is one of our most popular rodent baits for outdoors use. Fastrac Blox offers a lethal dose in a single feeding, with the first dead rodents appearing in one or two days after bait consumption. Fastrac must be used in a tamper resistant bait station outdoors to avoid accidental ingestion by non-target animals or children.

QAfter three weeks Fastrac has not worked at all, would it be prudent to try another type of bait?
I have used fastrac in two sidekick and 1 protecta station for three weeks.The bait has been changed,kept fresh and placed according to istructions however, it has not been touched . The rats seen are increasing in numbers. I have had some luck with the T-rex system, using peanut butter (catching 3 rats) But they are not taking the bait. What else can or should I be doing??
AFastrac is one of the best rodent baits on the market because it is highly palatable and has a fast kill. If the rats aren't taking this bait it is unlikely they will take any other solid bait. It is important to load the stations with bait, place them in high activity areas and then leave them alone for a couple of weeks. Rats do not like new things and they will often avoid going near stations that are disturbed often. You should also try to remove alternate food sources so that the rats will have to feed on the bait. This can be tricky in some situations but is a very important step when implementing a rat control program.

QDo you sell fastrac. And is it good for getting rid of huge rats?
AWe do sell Fastrac Blox on our website and it is labeled for Norway rats and Roof rats. Be sure to place the bait into tamper resistant bait stations to avoid having non-target animals ingest the bait. Place the bait stations directly into the travel paths of the rats for the best results.

March 29, 2013Minka from Pa asked:
QDo I need Protecta mouse bait stations with this product?
Do i really have to use fastrac blox with the bait stations to kill mice in the crawl space in the attic or may i just place the blocks on the floor fro mice to find them?
AAccording to the new EPA regulations you must use the blocks in tamper resistant stations if there is any chance at all that the bait could be contacted by non-target animals or children at any time. Attics and crawlspaces will not be blocked off permanently so you are supposed to use the bait in the tamper resistant stations. This will also help stop mice/rats from moving the blocks from where you put them and into spaces where they could cause harm to non target animals or children.
