CritterKill Rat & Mouse Killer Poison Blocks 300g – Rat and Mouse Poisoning Poison Sachets - All Weather Block Poison Bait (300g)

kills the rats .found dead rat in back garden .they are under the base of my garden shed.

Arrived quickly. Looks good and is easy to install into the bait stations. Only thing is that they are so expensive. Not just you but in general. Doesn't seem fare when they are coming from someone else's garden. Especially as they are eating my flower bulbs. That's the only thing for them to eat in my garden. I try not to encourage rats and mice. But I can't stop my neighbours. I think they should be cheaper for the public. Though yours are the best value. Thanks

Hi everyone reading this review.I had a problem that I refer to as the kitchen wars, I had British brown rats digging their way into my kitchen. I’ve bought many products in my arms race to defend my property. The poison blocks, I may have not used the product in the way it intended or instructed on the box. I have blocked holes with expanding foam and wire mesh also I’ve used these poison blocks in the mix/combination. Each block comes in its own individual packet, so I/you don’t even need to touch it with your bare fingers. I can confirm that the rats digging and excavation projects has stopped, at the moment. At £7 I thought why not, I’ve been pleasantly satisfied with this product as I no longer here noring and chomping in my kitchen in the late and early hours of day.

I bought this product to solve a rat infestation I had coming into my garden from a shared alleyway, I put out 2 blocks initially that was eaten quickly that night then I put out 1 block for the next 3 nights that was eaten and now on 4th night the block was not eaten so I think this has now killed off the infestation for me, this worked well for me and quickly, very pleased with the outcome so far and I still have some of the product left if I need to use again later.

First of all I have to say that I prefer not to kill any animal, even rats. However I had to resort to a poison since all else failed.I noticed the rats were tunnelling under my house in two places. I would fill the holes with metal and concrete, only for a new tunnel to appear within hours. This intervention is meant to disrupt their routine and scare them off, however they were determined to get into that space under the house as they clearly saw it as home. It was a race against time in Summer, when their numbers would only go up and they might eventually end up in the house in large numbers, giving me a very serious problem. One of the areas I covered with tarmac which seemed to work, though the other was near the lawn hence a lot more difficult to stop.I tried a rat trap which had worked before - I put some tempting treats onto an unloaded trap inside a bait box to get them feeding off it – but it was untouched. They must have known what that was, they are clearly quite streetwise so I half expected they would be wise to any poisoning attempts.I saw this product on Amazon and it seemed to have good spec and reviews, so gave it a try. It uses Difenacoum which is well used commercially and is meant to work in 3-7 days. Quick delivery thank you very much. I placed one block in the bait box, just outside the latest tunnel – and it was gone when I next looked.Following day, another block – this also disappeared.I replaced that, and this time it wasn’t touched. Within a week of the first use, It seemed there was no more activity, so I filled in the remaining tunnels and have seen no new ones since.Which means this stuff has basically worked and I wholeheartedly recommend it – should all else fail of course. The lesson learned is that you really need to avoid them moving in to start with, by not putting bird food on the ground, keeping compost secure and filling in any tunnels immediately rather than waiting for them to become established. But if the rat must die then this is an excellent product.

To begin with - I love animals, and given that we live in the UK and not Australia with its creepy crawley, many of whom can incapacitate and kill you - I love them all here. So when I noticed four rats appearing now and then in my backyard I didn't think much of it. Not a pretty sight - but them things got to live somewhere, so I let them be and eat some bird feed. Naive, I know, as before I knew it I discovered a few rat holes, which I fruitlessly tried to fill with gravel, only to find new ones.The scales tipped the morning I saw usual four rats plus another 5-6 youngsters rummaging in the garden. This is when it dawns on you that instead of unsightly and scruffy pets you are suddenly an owner of a rat farm, and with rat gestation period being only 21 day I was rather terrified of a thought of them starting multiplying exponentially.So I decided to get a humane live trap. Good quality as it is - it managed to attract only one which I promptly released a couple of miles away in fields. Dude was rather appreciative to get away alive, I think.His relatives proved to be a quick learning kind and razor sharp to their own detriment, as they avoided that trap no matter the tasty goodies I put there to lure them in. So somewhat reluctantly I decided to use poisoned seeds by some other maker. They ignored them, so I moved to this brand I'm reviewing here.Just after two days it nuked probably six of them, never to be seen again, I guess they consumed the most of this bait. Unfortunately for one adult and two youngsters this dying business is taking much longer. I can see them getting out their holes looking lethargic and confused, moving slowly. I know they have no access to water and didn't have any for a few days, so to add to internal bleeding and probable pain - they are dying of thirst, and also hunger, with large black flies settling on them, obviously sensing death. This is a really macabre and heartbreaking sight, as it proves that even though this poison definitely works - it works slowly and causes those animals suffer absolutely unnecessarily.Granted, they are too quick and smart when they are healthy, but once poison starts working they become much slower. I could have killed them by hitting them with something heavy but just couldn't gather myself - I'm still an animal lover, which in this case doesn't help at all as it only prolongs their suffering. My advice to myself and others - get a bolt action gun like a Crosman 2240 Rat Buster .22 Co2 Air Pistol that would finish them off instantly, in worst case scenario use poison at early stages to slow their reactions and then shoot them to avoid this suffering.I gave this item only ⭐⭐⭐ because of the slow and not-so-peaceful death it causes. Having said that - it does its job pretty much 100%, just not the way any animal lover wants to witness.My only consolation prize is that I know that nobody, including animals, dies in a true sense. Our physical bodies serve us as temporary vessels in this realm before being discarded - some too early, some in a due, natural time, with us proceeding to the next realm that we've earned during our lifetime here. One of the best channelled books on Afterlife is "The World Unseen" by Anthony Borgia (£12.35 on Amazon), a 3-in-1 book that describes our transition aka "death", and then detailed description of both light and dark realms and everything in between. It's a must read for anyone seeking to understand our life's purpose here and true, eternal future in next realms. With all wanted and unwanted animals there too, this time living in peace with everyone, forever. Highly recommend.
