Roban Rodenticide Paste 240g: Difenacoum Rat and Mouse Poison in 16 x 15g Bait Sachets

Roban Rodenticide Paste: Ready-to-Use Rat Poison Paste for Rats and Mice

Roban Rodenticide Paste is a ready-to-use, cereal-based rodenticide containing 0.05g/kg difenacoum, made to control rats and mice, including strains resistant to older anticoagulants such as warfarin. This 240g tub holds 16 individual 15g paste sachets, each one a pre-measured bait that goes straight into a bait station. Roban is a PelGar brand, and difenacoum is generally less toxic to cats and dogs than the strongest single-feed poisons, making it a pet-safer choice for homes, sheds and farms when used in secure stations.

How Does Rat Paste Work?

Rat poison paste is a soft, food-based bait wrapped in a thin, edible paper sachet. Rats and mice smell the cereal bait, chew straight through the sachet and eat the paste inside, so there's no need to open it. Soft paste baits are very palatable, which helps where rodents have plenty of other food around, and suits mice and rats that are slow to take hard blocks. The sachet keeps the bait fresh and clean, and lets you place a measured dose without handling the paste.

Difenacoum: A Second-Generation Anticoagulant

Difenacoum stops a rodent's blood from clotting. Rats and mice feed on the bait over one or more nights, and death usually follows a few days after feeding begins, commonly within about 4 to 10 days. Because the effect is delayed, rodents don't link the bait with illness, so the rest of the colony keeps feeding at the station.

Pet-Safer, Not Pet-Safe

Compared with brodifacoum baits, difenacoum has a much wider safety margin for dogs and cats, and a lower risk of secondary poisoning when pets or birds eat a poisoned rodent. It is still an anticoagulant poison. Always use the sachets inside secured, tamper-resistant bait stations, out of reach of children, pets, poultry and wildlife, and remove dead rodents promptly.

How to Use Rodenticide Paste Sachets

• Find signs of activity: droppings, gnaw marks, grease marks along walls or runways.
• Wearing gloves, place unopened sachets inside a tamper-resistant bait station. Do not cut or open the sachets.
• Set stations along walls, in corners and near where rodents travel, following the label for the number of sachets per placement.
• Lock or secure the station and keep it out of reach of children and animals.
• Check stations regularly and replace eaten sachets until bait is no longer taken.
• Remove all remaining bait at the end of the treatment, and collect dead rodents with gloves.

Safety and First Aid

Read the label before use. Keep away from food, food preparation areas, drains and waterways. Wash your hands after handling. The antidote is Vitamin K1, given under medical or veterinary supervision. If a person swallows bait, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26. If a pet eats bait, contact your vet straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Roban Rodenticide Paste?

Roban Rodenticide Paste is a ready-to-use, cereal-based rodent poison containing difenacoum, packed in 15g sachets. It controls rats and mice, including strains resistant to older anticoagulants like warfarin.

Do I need to open the Roban paste sachets?

No. Leave the sachets sealed. Rats and mice chew through the paper wrapper to reach the paste, and the sachet keeps the bait fresh and limits handling.

How does rat paste work?

Rodents eat the soft, cereal-based paste, and the difenacoum stops their blood clotting. Death follows a few days after feeding, so rodents don't become wary of the bait.

What is the most effective rat killer?

It depends on the situation. Single-feed and second-generation anticoagulant baits, used in enough bait stations along rodent runways, are the most common choice. Soft paste baits are especially useful where rodents have lots of other food or ignore hard blocks.

Is paste or block rat poison better?

Paste is softer and more palatable, so it often works better for mice and where food is plentiful. Wax blocks hold up better in very wet areas and can be fixed on bait station rods. Many people use both.

How long does Roban paste take to work?

Rodents usually die within about 4 to 10 days after they start feeding. Keep the stations stocked until bait is no longer taken.

Is Roban safe around dogs and cats?

Difenacoum is less toxic to dogs and cats than brodifacoum, but it is still a poison. Use sachets only in secured bait stations out of pets' reach, remove dead rodents promptly, and contact a vet immediately if you suspect a pet has eaten bait.
