Farnam Just One Bite II Bait Chunks, 12 lbs (96, 2 oz chunks)

Some mold problem if not eaten by two weeks

LETHAL and BADASS product. Just One Bite is the best all around anticoagulant, and "responsible" poison to use in populated areas with pets around. My friends are all in the "trades", farmers, plumbers, construction workers etc, we hate rats ... and we have to deal with our own and other people's rat problems all the time. I've been using Just One Bite for years, but we've tried a few other brands just to compare and see which were the most lethal and the most attractive for rats. As far as taste goes, hey, rats really eat this, no worries. But for occasionally dropping down holes so that the rats bring poison blocks back to their nests to be ingested by the whole colony, you can save a little money per pound and go with the JT Eaton 709-AP Bait Block in peanut butter or apple. Ground squirrels, voles, possums like the apple flavor, rats like the peanut butter best but will also eat the apple. Anticoagulants do work, Just One Bite is the best, but for huge disgusting terminator rats that can chew through 3/4 inch plywood or a brand new commercial grade plastic garbage can in 15 minutes ... we have our clients who can afford it use a mix of Just One Bite and the super toxic, super expensive (rediculous price of $175 for five pounds) bromethalin neurological baits like Eaton 750 Top Gun Blocks w/ Bromethalin, but those will kill any animal that eats it and there is no antidote. "Just One Bite" in your bait stations or nail or wire them up ... and throw the cheaper JT Eaton 709-AP Bait Blocks down their holes ... FIVE STARS ... PROVEN RAT KILLERS ...

Works great

I'm pretty sure this in conjunction with another product that someone suggested using on another review took care of every rat in a five mile radius. We had a major roofie issue because everyone, including myself, feeds the birds and squirrels. I tried trapping, filling holes, removing bird food. Nothing worked. I tried other baits like tomcat etc and it did nothing. After one use of this stuff. No more rats. Even the neighbors have told me their rat problems went away too. I did use the proper traps and placed them accordingly so to not harm wildlife.

I bought product for use with squirrel problem. I've had squirrels invade our 2 acre avocado grove this year. Can't trap them fast enough so I tried just one bite. I tied a string to chunks - the hole in middle works well for this. Then I threw down squirrel holes and secured string with a stake in ground. That way squirrels couldn't take it somewhere else and I also can pull up string to see if they nibbled. I have seen about half the bait chunks nibbled on in the 2 weeks I left in ground. I was careful not to leave in too long because of concern with other animals including my cat get into it. This class of rat poison has no antidote so it's especially dangerous to domestic animals.It seems to have helped with squirrel infestation as I've seen far fewer in the area. I'll need to try again in the spring as this last time I put down in fall when I believe squirrel population is not as active

just dont let it get WET. I was using another brand with a different chemical and it didnt seem to work well. Switched to this and started seeing dead ones within a few days. I was reluctant to go the poison route but I have chickens and you cant afford to not be on top of the rodents hardcore or they will be everywhere very quickly. Anyone who keeps chickens knows ... I trap AND poison constantly to keep ahead of these little bastards.

First off, I don't like to harm any animal. In most cases it is easy to live in peace with all the critters that the jungle-like environment of hot and humid Southwest Florida has to offer. But this year the record rainfall has driven many animals from the wetlands in search of higher ground to forage in. And that is where I have to draw the line. We don't mind the snakes, lizards, squirrels, raccoons, possums, bobcats and coyotes so much -- although once in a while a poisonous snake rears its viper head.What we have had to deal with this year is an over abundance of river rats. Not just the older ones but also litters of young pups. And the first thing that the older ones do is to lead their young up the tires of our vehicles and into the engine compartments where they chew on the wires. We have two rescued Irish Wolfhounds that on occasion manage to catch a rat but all other methods have failed. I have used baited live traps, the classic Victor traps, and some of the more new-fangled electronic ones. I prefer to catch them alive and release them in another location but trapping them gets harder and harder,So I've had to revert to poison, this Farnam One Bite II in particular. Most everyone knows the drawbacks of using rat poison, the worst of which is the possibility of secondary poisoning of any raptor or other animal that preys on rats. And of course you can't put rat poison anywhere that children or pets can get to it. As far as secondary poisoning, I scout our property early every morning for dead rats to remove. To minimize (eliminate) any primary poisoning of children or pets, I only place the rat poison in dark or covered places outside of our six foot chain link fence. The reason for dark/covered areas is that is where rats primarily forage for food. They are well aware of danger from other creatures who would like to prey on them. The other reason is to keep the poison viable by sheltering it from the rain.A few hints when hunting rats or mice. Always handle the traps or poison when using new gloves -- even surgical gloves -- to keep human scent off what you are putting down. These are smart creatures who have survived thousands of years without being eradicated. Mark the spots where you put the traps or poison. I use yellow police tape wrapped in our fence above where I have placed each trap. Just make sure that the tape doesn't flap in the wind. Seldom will you capture a rat or mouse on the first night. You may have accidentally left your scent on what you put down or the vermin can smell your tracks in and out. If you are successful the first night out, that is usually a sign of boldness or lack of natural food. Double up your efforts in that area.And there is one other trap I have used with very limited success. I had seen this monster rat foraging around the outside of our tool shed and had put down several baited traps in that area. Night after night he would somehow steal the bait without engaging the traps. Very frustrating! So I bought some large glue traps and put big chunks of chicken guts in the middle of it. He once again avoided all of the other baited traps but made the mistake of trying to get to the chicken guts, stepped on the glue, and there he was the next morning. These older ones are pretty darn smart.ONCE AGAIN, I RESPECT ALL FORMS OF LIFE AND WILL DO ANYTHING THAT I CAN TO AVOID KILLING AN ANIMAL. BUT THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF OUR FAMILY ALWAYS TAKES PRECEDENCE.

I installed 4 traps and all have been eaten. My mouse problem has all but disappeared.
