EcoClear Products 620102, RatX All-Natural Non-Toxic Humane Rat and Mouse Killer Pellets, 3 lb. Bag

Worked better than I imagined, after 1 week of placing product out they all gone . Had gophers in my chicken coop and this product has eliminated the problem

I wrote a review on their discs, so I’d like to post some parts of that here as well since the same info applies. I apologize for the all capital letter title. Just know that this stuff doesn’t work. Well, that isn’t 100% accurate since I don’t know what would happen to the mice and rats if they ate this. Why? Because THE WON’T EAT IT! I bought the discs back in March, and I even went so far as to buy their little bait stations too. I placed the station right next to a hole where mice were entering my home. Of course they simply avoided it. I set up a night vision capable camera and watched them walk around it rather than go inside and eat the bait. So, I placed a disc outside of the station and still in front of the hole. They literally crawled over it and just went along their merry way. So then I took some of these pellets. I put them in a tray with some bird seed, uncooked rice (because that’s what they got into the last time in my house - a brand new bag of rice), and even some cheese. Guess what they ate? EVERYTHING BUT THESE PELLETS. I had so hope that maybe some of the powder from the pellets did something to those little critters, but the mice problem persisted. So I did what any partially sane person (since I was losing my sanity because of these mice) would do at this point: I crushed some up and sprinkled it all over various foods. One bowl of rice. Later a bowl of dry cereal. I tried so many things, and then I even put out cheese with the dust sprinkled on it. Guess what? These little critters now avoided all the foods they were eating inside my home! WOW! It seems to me that this stuff doesn’t attract them at all, but instead, it makes them not want to eat stuff. So what about outside? Nope, not a single bite. I placed bait stations outside too. I even got some other brand ones with bigger openings so the rats coming down from the hillside would fit. They crawled on top of the stations rather than go inside. And when I put bait on top of the station, they didn’t even pay them any attention. Mice and Rats are simply not attracted to this bait at all, so how could it possibly work if they won’t eat it? I have no clue what to do to entice them to eat these darn things. I was so hopeful that this would reduce their numbers, but I was deeply disappointed. What a waste of my hard earned money. If I was still within the return window, I would pack all of this useless stuff back up in the bags to get a refund. Yes, I have all the discs still because the mice and rats won’t even sniff this stuff let alone eat it. And I have the bag of pellets about half full. Save your money and buy something else that’s more effective. I don’t know how other people got the mice and rats to eat this stuff, but I’ve got some crazy smart rodents that are just built different.

Finally addressed the rodent problem without endangering my dog or the wildlife population in my neighborhood, which includes owls, hawks, and bald eagles. All birds that standard rodenticide puts it serious risk. I was so relieved to find an option that was not only pet safe, but safe for the predatory birds and coyotes. The rats won't touch it if it's not mixed with something they're attracted to. We used peanut butter and sunflower seeds. Also, make sure there's no water sources available for rodents or the ratx won't work. Great stuff, highly recommend!!

I live in a heavily wooded area with an overgrown property next door. We also have chickens. Rats LOVE chicken feed. So as per the instructions it is recommended to mix in he with some other tasty bait. All I did was mix one handful of chicken feed to one handful of RatX. Toss a handful of the mix down the holes everyday. I know we have an insane colony population. I see a dozen or more rats in broad daylight. Eating the chicken feed WITH the chickens. I have gone through over 1.5 pounds in 5 days. I assume most will die in their tunnel system. I will update if I remember about when I see the population start to drop. Rats are going to be a constant battle for me but I’m glad I have found this product. I hope the clever buggers don’t wise up to what I’m doing. I wanted to find something better after catching birds and a squirrel in my snap traps that were covered.

Rats/mice would not eat it. I had to rub peanut butter on it to get the rats/mice to eat it. After doing this, I didn’t notice a decline in rats/mice.

works well killed the mice

We have had a rat infestation starting in the fall and just got worse during the winter. This has worked well and still have a few of those rats but no where close as many that we once had. The rat traps are still getting a few but this RatX has worked well and is the best stuff that I have used.

This product really does work, and I'm able to keep the rat population under control with the peace of mind knowing that my cats, dogs, poultry, livestock and wildlife are all safe from harmful poisons. Be methodical, consistent and patient (it takes 3 to 5 days for rats to die), but it really is effective. I locate the rat runs, and simply pour the Rat X into the exit/entrance holes where I can monitor whether it's being taken. Once taken, I continue to top it up. Apparently it takes 10 to 15 pellets to kill an adult rat, and less for juveniles. Adult rats will also take the pellets to feed their young in the nest. It works by coating the rats stomach thereby interfering with the nerve impulses that go to the brain that tells the rat to drink. So, in effect the rat kills itself by not drinking, and becomes so dehydrated that it dies. Unfortunately in the UK only small, 227g bags are available to buy, and they're not cheap! However there is a 3lb (remember it's an American product, so they're still using imperial measures) bag available, that's more cost effective, even with the additional postage, if you're willing to wait for it to arrive from America. In my opinion, due to the horrific effect that other rat and mouse poisons have on our animals and wildlife, this should now be the only product licensed for use in controlling rodent vermin, in the uk. Rat X will not harm cats, dogs, or wildlife, such as owls, even if they catch and eat an affected mouse or rat because it's just dehydrated. Top marks to the Americans for developing such a safe and natural product.

The rats avoided the pellets like the plague. They would eat everything else but not those expansive pellets. Waste of money.
