Motomco 008-22920 198889 Tomcat with Bromethalin Meal Bait, 5 lb

When we were living in Hawai'i the mongoose ran wildly through our acreage. We used these pellets to reduce the number of mongoose in the area. We certainly noticed fewer of them after using this bait for a while. Mongoose will not eat the rat poison bars, but do enjoy eating this poison. Very happy with the purchase

It says it works for voles, so I decided to try it on groundhogs that have made multiple holes on my 4 acre lawn. I tried scent deterrents (ammonia, 30% vinegar, pepper flakes, epson salt, lavender, moth balls), filling their holes with pebbles and stones -- none of it worked. I also tried poison with Zinc Phosphate and that didn't help either. THIS IS IT! This has different poison ingredient, Bromethalin. I have not seen them active in a few days and I'm thrilled. Pour a generous amount in their holes, ideally on a dry/sunny day. They seem to have died in their tunnels as I haven't had any dead carcasses. The only other thing that helped was to trap them in a cage and dispose of them, but that service costed me $595 for 1 week, and let's just say that I had many more than the 2 that were caught. This product is definitely worth trying.

Whatever animal is out there, is eating well…Not sure if they will ever stop it, since I haven’t see any of them dead anywhere.I really hope to see the effectiveness of this product, and not be using to just feed mices.Doesn’t have any smell, I think, since I’m using outside.And I’m still waiting for the ability to kill.Over all seems to be a good product.I’m giving time.Let’s see how well it gonna work.

This rat bait not only works extremely well but it has been effective on moles in their tunnels and cut ants at their mounds. I’ve kept the jug handy on the back porch for months but learned a new one this morning. After last night’s storm I went out and the jug was knocked over and there was a one inch hole gnawed in the bottom and bait scattered everywhere. I’m guessing it was the armadillo that has been destroying the yard for years. Two birds with one stone as they say and I didn’t have to lift a finger.

I was struggling for one month with some very smart rats. I was ashamed that a rat could outsmart me although I have a Ph. D. in biology. I have a camera set up to observe wildlife in front of my house and one day I observed some rat activity.First I bought the rat poison “Tomcat with Bromethalin Bait Chunkx Pail” for $28. Unfortunately, the rats did not even get close to them as I observed on the replay camera footage. Then I decided to pulverize the chunks and mix them with some dog food and small amounts of peanut butter. I made ½ inch balls (using rubber gloves) and put them out on a small plastic tray. This time the rats happily transported the balls back to their burrow.After a week of making poison balls and not observing any change, I decided to order “Motomco 008-22920 198889 Tomcat with Bromethalin Meal Bait, 5 lb” for $41. Unfortunately, the rats hardly touched the poison. Then I made small balls with this poison as described above but did not need to pulverize saving me some effort. The rats liked these balls but did not seem to have any detrimental effect on them. They were happily collecting them and taking them back to their den.Finally, after a month I went to Home Depot and bought 2 Victor M201 Rat Traps with metal trigger for $5.20. (Note: Do not buy the Victor M326 Rat Traps with the plastic pedal trigger, those are greatly inferior). I set up the traps at dusk to avoid catching any squirrels. Put a little peanut butter on the triggers with a spatula to avoid transferring any human smell. I set up one trap close to where I observed rat activity with my camera and another by a large entrance hole in the ground. Within 2 hours I killed two large, about 10-inch size rats with each trap. The next week all rat activity sized.My conclusions:1/ The poison did not kill the large rats. They did not eat enough of it in one month or they were somehow resistant to the poison.2/ Using the poison and Victor trap together makes sense. The poison will kill the rat pups and the trap will eliminate the large rats.3/ I hope that this write-up helps someone with very smart rats.

Rats reproduce fast. Good luck with trapping. It is my personal belief that exterminators want to use traps because it makes them a fortune in fees. If you are throwing these in between the floors of your home or in crawl spaces where your pets cannot go, you can get rid of a huge investation of roof rats in 24 hours. I had to sleep with earplugs because of the noise in the night hours. I use a fitbit to monitor my sleep and I was getting virtually "no" sleep. For weeks and weeks I trapped and trapped to no avail. 24 hours after I threw these seeds into my crawl space attic and above the lower-level ceiling (by cutting an access panel), THEY WERE GONE!! Forget about them smelling bad when they die. Big deal. Get some wax melts and get over it. PROBLEM SOLVED. Rats destroy your home, the break and tear apart electrical wires inisde your wall, they can make copper pipes leak in your walls. You need to eradicate the problem. I was in tears when I realized I couldn't hear a single sound last night. They are all gone after over a month of trapping and more than $300 investment in various traps and endless hours of baiting new traps. THIS WORKS. HALLELUJAH!

I regret purchasing the Motomco Ltd D-Tomcat with Bromethalin Meal Bait. It’s way overpriced for the amount you get, and it was completely ineffective—I saw no reduction in rodent activity even after following the instructions carefully.What’s worse is the safety concerns. This product is extremely dangerous to pets and wildlife, which makes it an unsafe option for households with animals. The risks simply aren’t worth it.I will not be buying this again and highly advise against it for anyone looking for a safe and effective rodent solution.
