The Big Cheese Home Choice Rat & Mouse Bait Throw Packs 4 x 25g – Difenacoum Rodent Bait

The Big Cheese Home Choice Rat & Mouse Kill Throw Packs control rats and mice indoors. Each 100g pack contains four pre-measured 25g sachets of bait made with 0.025g/kg difenacoum, ready to place straight into a bait station without touching the bait.

Brunnings describes the Home Choice range as using 50% less poison than other bait packs while still killing rats and mice effectively.

Rat and Mouse Bait Packs for Indoor Use

Home Choice throw packs are suited to indoor areas where rodents are active, such as roof spaces, garages, sheds and outbuildings. Signs of activity include droppings, chewed food packaging, nesting material and gnawing or scuttling sounds.

Under current APVMA instructions, the bait must be used indoors only and secured in a tamper-resistant bait station. Fix stations to the floor or another structure where possible.

Pre-Measured 25g Sachets – Just Place and Leave

The sealed sachets keep bait contained and reduce handling, so placing and replacing bait is quick and clean. Simply put a sachet in a lockable bait station and leave it where rodents travel.

Check stations regularly, remove dead rodents to protect pets and wildlife from secondary poisoning, and don't treat an infestation for longer than 35 days.
