Tomcat All-Weather Blox (Green) 1.8kg: Bromadiolone Rat Bait and Mouse Poison Blocks

Tomcat All-Weather Blox: Rat Bait Blocks That Kill Rats and Mice in One Feed

Tomcat All-Weather Blox are wax rat bait blocks containing 0.05g/kg bromadiolone, a single-feed anticoagulant that kills rats and mice, including those resistant to other anticoagulants. This 1.8kg tub holds 64 green 28g blocks, made by Bell Laboratories in the USA and distributed in Australia by Barmac. The blocks are weather resistant, so this rat poison stays firm and palatable in damp, humid and outdoor areas, in and around homes, farms, sheds, commercial and public service buildings.

Multi-Edge Blocks Rodents Want to Gnaw

Tomcat Blox are made by extrusion, which gives each block several ridged edges. Rats and mice have a strong urge to gnaw, and these edges encourage them to chew and feed. The blox are made with food-grade ingredients and a small amount of paraffin wax, which holds them together in wet conditions without making them less attractive. Each block also contains denatonium benzoate, a bittering agent that helps deter accidental eating by people.

Centre Hole for Secure Baiting

Every block has a hole through the centre, so it can be threaded onto the securing rod inside a tamper-resistant bait station. It can also be wired or nailed in place along rafters and in tight spots. This stops rodents dragging the mouse bait away and hiding it, where pets or children might find it.

How Bromadiolone Works

Bromadiolone is an anticoagulant that stops the blood from clotting. Rats and mice can take in a lethal dose in a single feed, but death occurs a few days later. This delay means rodents don't link the bait with illness, so they don't become bait shy and others in the colony keep feeding. The antidote, Vitamin K1, is readily available, which gives time for treatment if a pet or person eats bait.

How to Use Tomcat Rat Bait Blocks

• Look for signs of activity: droppings, gnaw marks, runways and burrows.
• Secure the blocks in tamper-resistant bait stations. Do not place baits in the open.
• Rats: use 2 to 8 blocks per infested area, with placements no more than 9m apart.
• Mice: use 1 to 2 blocks per placement, with placements no more than 3m apart.
• Place stations along walls, behind objects and in dark, sheltered spots near activity.
• Wear gloves when handling blocks, to protect your hands and avoid leaving human scent.
• Inspect baits daily at first. Replace eaten blocks and add placements if bait goes quickly.
• Continue until bait is no longer taken, then remove leftover bait.

Safety and Responsible Use

Read the label before use and keep out of reach of children. Always use the blocks in a bait station secured against children, pets, poultry and wildlife. Collect and dispose of dead rodents with gloves so pets and birds of prey can't eat a poisoned carcass. 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 in Tomcat All-Weather Blox (green)?

Each block contains 0.05g/kg bromadiolone, a single-feed anticoagulant, plus denatonium benzoate as a bittering agent. The blocks are made from food-grade ingredients and paraffin wax for weather resistance.

What is the difference between Tomcat green and Tomcat II red?

Tomcat All-Weather Blox (green) contain bromadiolone. Tomcat II (red) contains brodifacoum, a stronger anticoagulant. Both kill rats and mice in a single feed. Bromadiolone is a good choice for routine baiting around homes and farms.

What poison kills rats and mice?

Anticoagulant baits such as bromadiolone and brodifacoum are the most common poisons for rats and mice in Australia. Single-feed baits like Tomcat Blox deliver a lethal dose in one feed and work on rodents resistant to older baits such as warfarin.

How long does rat poison take to work?

Single-feed anticoagulant baits work over a few days after the rodent feeds. You'll usually notice activity dropping within one to two weeks, as long as bait is kept available until it's no longer eaten.

What is the best rat poison in Australia?

The best rat poison for your situation is one registered for use in Australia, suited to where you're baiting, and used inside a tamper-resistant bait station. Look for weather-resistant blocks for damp or outdoor areas, a bittering agent, and blocks that can be secured on rods so rodents can't carry them away.

What is the best bait block for rats?

A good rat bait block is palatable, holds up in wet weather, and has a centre hole to fix it inside a bait station. Multi-edge blocks encourage gnawing, which helps rats take a full dose.

Are Tomcat Blox safe around pets?

No rat poison is safe for pets to eat. Use the blocks only inside locked, tamper-resistant bait stations placed where pets can't reach, and remove dead rodents promptly. If you think a pet has eaten bait, contact your vet immediately.
