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

I only received it yesterday, but the rodents must love it. Not only was the feed left out quickly devoured, but they attacked the container while I slept. Its effectiveness is still to be determined.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I would recommend anyone to get this if they have a problem I have a house that I'm running unfortunately the owners does not carry take care of the holes that was created way before I moved in so basically they don't care if you have infestation from the holes they believe it's the runner fault and it's their responsibility the last time I had a problem I used traps and sometimes they work sometimes I didn't and it took very long time to get rid of the problem this time I bought this and then more than days my problem was gone very grateful I found this
