TomCat II All-Weather Blox 8kg – Rat Bait Blocks and Rat Poison with Brodifacoum, 400 x 20g

TomCat II Rat Bait for Rats and Mice

TomCat II All-Weather Blox is a single-feed rat bait containing 0.05g/kg brodifacoum, made to kill rats and mice, including strains resistant to warfarin. This 8kg bulk pail holds 400 ready-to-use 20g rat bait blocks for use in damp or dry situations in and around industrial, commercial, agricultural and domestic buildings. Manufactured by Bell Laboratories and distributed in Australia by Barmac, TomCat rat bait is a common choice for farms, warehouses, food storage areas and larger properties with ongoing rodent pressure.

How TomCat II Rat Poison Works

Brodifacoum is a second-generation anticoagulant. Rodents can take a lethal dose in a single feed, and the poison stops their blood from clotting properly. Because the effect is delayed by several days, rats and mice do not link the bait with feeling unwell, which helps prevent bait shyness and lets the whole colony keep feeding. As a tomcat rat poison and tomcat mouse poison in one, it also controls rodents that have become resistant to older first-generation baits such as warfarin.

Cog-Shaped Rat Bait Blocks Built for All Weather

These rat poison blocks are made by an extrusion process that holds them together in wet, humid and dry conditions, both indoors and outdoors in bait stations. Each 20g block has a cog shape with ridged edges that rodents like to gnaw, which encourages them to feed. A centre hole lets you fix each block onto a rod or nail inside the station, so rodents cannot carry blocks away and hide them. The blocks contain denatonium benzoate, a bittering agent that makes them taste unpleasant to people.

Where to Use TomCat II

TomCat II is registered for use in damp or dry situations in and around domestic, commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings. Typical treatment areas include sheds, barns, feed rooms, poultry and stock areas, warehouses, along fence lines near buildings, and around the outside of homes, always inside secured bait stations.

How to Use

• Place blocks in tamper-resistant, rodent-proof bait stations where rodents are active, such as along walls and runways and near droppings or gnaw marks
• Secure each block through its centre hole so rodents cannot drag it away
• Check stations regularly and top up once more than 50% of the bait has been taken
• Replace all bait monthly to keep it fresh and effective
• Remove competing food sources wherever possible to push rodents towards the bait
• Always read and follow the label and safety directions

Protecting Pets, Children and Wildlife

Brodifacoum is highly toxic. Always place blocks inside secured, tamper-resistant bait stations out of reach of children, dogs, cats, livestock and native wildlife. If you suspect a person or pet has eaten bait, seek urgent medical or veterinary help, as vitamin K1 is the antidote. Inspect treated areas regularly and remove dead rodents promptly, wearing gloves, to reduce the risk of secondary poisoning in pets and birds of prey such as owls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does TomCat rat bait really work?

Yes. TomCat II All-Weather Blox contains brodifacoum, a single-feed anticoagulant that can kill rats and mice after one feed, including those resistant to warfarin. Results usually show within several days as rodents feed and die off, and it works best when bait stations are placed on active runways and kept topped up.

What is the active ingredient in TomCat II All-Weather Blox?

TomCat II contains 0.05g/kg brodifacoum, a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide. It also contains denatonium benzoate as a bittering agent.

What is the best bait block for rats?

The best rat bait blocks hold up in damp conditions, are readily eaten and can be secured inside a bait station. Look for a weather-resistant block with a central hole for mounting and an active that controls resistant rodents, which is why single-feed brodifacoum blocks are widely used.

What is the best rodenticide for rats in Australia?

The best rodenticide depends on the site, the size of the infestation and the risk to pets and wildlife. For established rat and mouse problems around buildings, single-feed baits are effective, but they must always be used in secured bait stations and in line with the label.

What should I do if a pet eats rat poison?

Contact a vet immediately, even if your pet seems well, as anticoagulant poisoning can take days to show. Vitamin K1 is the antidote, so take the packaging with you to the vet.

How do I dispose of dead rodents?

Wear gloves, place dead rodents in a sealed bag and put them in the general waste bin. Removing carcasses promptly helps prevent secondary poisoning of pets and birds of prey that might eat them.
