Customer Reviews for Protecta LP Rat Bait Stations CASE (6 stations) with Fastrac Blox

This worked as advertised, and I am happy with the results with one exception. Many of the rats crawl around in the open during their last hours, making them easy prey for pets or wild predators. I set the traps, had no activity the first 4 days, then on days 5/6 I found six adult rats around my yard in various stages of dying, and two partially eaten rats. I finished them off and disposed of them, and thankfully none of the cats that "sampled" them got sick. I found 5 more dead adult rats in their nest; the nest continued under a concrete slab so there may be been more in there. I suspect there were many other dead rats in other nests in an overgrown area of my neighbor's yard but I couldn't access it to remove any dead animals. There has been no more activity since day 6, so I have put away the traps so I don't have to worry about my pets. I'll probably repeat this exercise every 6 months or so. Please use these stations/poison responsibly and clean up any dead rats to prevent secondary poisoning.

Didn't give 5 stars cause I don't know how well these will weather being outdoors yet. They appear to be pretty durable but a full season of blistering Texas sun will tell all. But, the order came in quickly and the instructions were easy to follow. I don't know why there are complaints about them being hard to open since I have had no issues. Stations were easy to load and set out.

To recap, l discovered a rat problem under a mobile home l started working on in March. I went thru 8 pounds of Selontra with no let up. Got a 16 pound bucket of Contrac sachets and went thru about half in 3 weeks, up to 27 baits a night. Changed to Blox and added 3 new stations to existing 3. At first some of the Blox were consumed, maybe a dozen total. I would like to think lack of activity with Blox meant solid progress, but now occasionally still using Contrac bait to keep interest and check population l get almost 100% acceptance of it any night. The new bait stations were barely accepted at first and now the only traffic is at the original 3 stations. I do believe overall there has been a significant reduction in the population, and l'm guessing from the dozen or so Blox recently consumed. I don't understand how so much Contrac could be consumed while seemingly nourishing the population.
