Pestoff Rodent Blocks 6.5kg (Brodifacoum)

Bulk Rat & Mouse Control for Extensive Properties

Pestoff Rodent Blocks 6.5kg (Brodifacoum) provide a high-volume solution for controlling rats and mice across extensive properties, farms, commercial sites and locations requiring multiple bait stations.

Made in New Zealand, these professional-quality bait blocks combine a highly palatable chocolate-flavoured cereal formulation with 0.02g/kg brodifacoum, a potent second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide.

The generous 6.5kg pack is designed for customers who need to maintain and regularly replenish numerous bait stations. It provides considerably more bait than the smaller household packs while remaining a practical option for ongoing rodent-management programmes.

Each approximately 30g block features a central hole, allowing it to be securely fixed inside a compatible bait station to help prevent rodents from carrying the bait away.

Why Choose the 6.5kg Pack?

The 6.5kg pack is designed for larger-scale rodent control where smaller quantities would require frequent replacement.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Farms
• Lifestyle properties
• Large residential properties
• Warehouses
• Workshops
• Commercial premises
• Multiple sheds and outbuildings
• Animal-feed storage areas
• Properties with numerous bait stations
• Established rat or mouse infestations
• Ongoing rodent-management programmes
• Customers requiring bulk bait for regular replenishment

For customers managing several buildings or a network of bait stations, the 6.5kg pack provides a substantial supply without moving all the way up to the largest 10kg size.

What Do Pestoff Rodent Blocks Control?

Pestoff Rodent Blocks are formulated specifically for controlling:

• Rats
• Mice

They can be used in suitable bait stations around locations where rodent activity has been identified, including:

• Homes
• Garages
• Roof spaces
• Sheds
• Workshops
• Warehouses
• Farms
• Animal-feed storage areas
• Other suitable residential and commercial locations

This product is registered for rodent control and should not be promoted or used as possum bait unless a product label specifically authorises that use.

How Does Brodifacoum Rodent Bait Work?

Brodifacoum is a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide that interferes with the normal clotting of blood after sufficient bait has been consumed.

Its action is delayed rather than immediate. This means rats and mice do not normally associate eating the bait with the later effects of poisoning.

Brodifacoum is commonly referred to as a single-feed rodenticide because a rodent may consume a lethal quantity during one feeding. However, feeding behaviour and the amount consumed can vary between individual rodents.

For effective control, continue monitoring your stations and replenish bait while feeding continues rather than removing it after the first signs of consumption.

Secure Block Design

Each Pestoff Rodent Block weighs approximately 30g and features a central hole designed to fit over the rod or fixing point inside a compatible bait station.

Securing the blocks helps:

• Prevent rodents from carrying whole blocks away
• Keep bait contained within the station
• Reduce the chance of bait being hidden elsewhere
• Make consumption easier to monitor
• Reduce the risk of loose bait being moved into areas accessible to children, pets or non-target animals

The solid block formulation also makes checking and replenishing bait straightforward – particularly useful when maintaining numerous stations.

How to Use Pestoff Rodent Blocks for Rats

For rat control:

1. Place four to eight blocks inside a Pestoff Dead Rat Café or another suitable rat bait station.
2. Secure the blocks onto the station rod or fixing point wherever possible.
3. Position the station along an established rat travel route.
4. Good locations include beside walls, fences, banks, burrows and areas showing fresh rodent activity.
5. Check the bait station daily.
6. Replenish blocks as they are consumed.
7. Continue baiting until feeding stops.
8. Monitor the area periodically for signs of reinfestation.

Rats generally travel alongside fixed objects and protected edges rather than moving unnecessarily through exposed areas.

Positioning stations directly along established rodent runways can therefore make them easier for rats to encounter.

How to Use Pestoff Rodent Blocks for Mice

For mouse control:

1. Place one block inside a Pestoff Mouse Bait Station or another suitable mouse bait station.
2. Secure the block where the station provides an appropriate fixing point.
3. Position stations in sheltered locations where mouse activity has been identified.
4. Keep stations close to walls and protected edges.
5. Check bait stations daily.
6. Replenish consumed bait until feeding stops.
7. Continue monitoring for fresh signs of mouse activity.

Useful locations can include areas near or beneath:

• Refrigerators
• Stoves
• Hot-water cylinders
• Cupboards
• Storage areas
• Other sheltered locations showing mouse activity

The 6.5kg pack is particularly useful when numerous mouse bait stations need to be serviced and replenished across multiple buildings or a large property.

Where Should Rodent Bait Stations Be Placed?

Good station placement can make a major difference to the effectiveness of a rodent-control programme.

Look for signs indicating where rats or mice are feeding, nesting or travelling, including:

• Rodent droppings
• Gnaw marks
• Greasy rub marks along walls
• Burrows
• Nesting materials
• Scratching noises
• Damaged food packaging
• Damaged animal-feed bags
• Regular movement along walls, fences or garden edges

Place bait stations as close as practical to established activity while ensuring they remain inaccessible to children, pets, livestock and non-target wildlife.

Once rodents begin feeding, avoid moving stations unnecessarily. Rats in particular can be cautious around unfamiliar objects and may take time to accept a newly installed station.

Why Must Pestoff Blocks Be Used in a Bait Station?

Pestoff Rodent Blocks must only be used inside suitable bait stations.

An appropriately selected bait station helps:

• Restrict access by children and pets
• Reduce exposure to non-target animals
• Protect bait from rain, moisture and contamination
• Allow blocks to be secured through the central hole
• Reduce the chance of rodents carrying bait away
• Keep bait in a consistent feeding location
• Make consumption easier to monitor
• Make checking and replenishing bait more convenient

For outdoor or publicly accessible locations, use an appropriate lockable, tamper-resistant and weather-resistant rodent bait station.

What to Expect

Don’t be concerned if rodents don’t immediately begin feeding from a newly installed station.

Rats can be particularly cautious around new objects and may take time to investigate and enter a bait station.

Once feeding begins, check the stations daily and replenish the blocks as necessary. Continue supplying bait until consumption stops.

After the initial infestation has been controlled, periodically inspect the property for fresh droppings, gnaw marks or other signs of renewed rodent activity.

Rodents can reinfest a property, particularly where food, water and shelter remain readily available.

Product Specifications

Which Pestoff Rodent Block Size Should I Choose?

Pestoff Rodent Blocks are available in several sizes, making it easier to match the amount of bait to the scale of your rodent problem.

• 200g – ideal for limited household activity or a small number of bait stations.
• 500g – ideal for several stations around a home, garage, shed or smaller property.
• 3kg – a practical choice for larger properties, farms, multiple buildings or established infestations.
• 6.5kg – suitable for extensive properties and ongoing rodent-management programmes.
• 10kg – designed for high-volume rural, commercial and professional applications.

For customers regularly maintaining a larger network of bait stations, the 6.5kg pack offers a practical bulk quantity while still sitting below the largest 10kg option.

Use in Dairy Processing & Commercial Environments

Pestoff Rodent Blocks are approved as a maintenance compound Type C and are recognised for use in dairy-processing areas under specific conditions.

• They must not be used in areas accessible to food-producing animals.
• Bait must be contained within an appropriate bait station.
• In manufacturing environments, use must form part of a documented pest-management programme.

Always refer to the complete product label and applicable workplace requirements before use.

• Keep bait stations inaccessible to children, pets, livestock and wildlife.
• Keep the product away from food and animal feed.
• Store unused bait tightly closed in its original labelled container.
• Prevent bait and fragments from entering drains, streams, ponds or other waterways.
• Do not allow dogs or cats to consume poisoned rodents.
• Collect poisoned rodent carcasses wherever practical.
• Dispose of bait and carcasses in accordance with the product label and local requirements.

Where the public has a right of access, warning signage may be required in accordance with the product label and applicable legal requirements.

Accidental Poisoning

Symptoms of brodifacoum poisoning may not become apparent for several days. Possible symptoms can include pale gums, unusual bruising or blood in urine or faeces.

If human poisoning is suspected, do not induce vomiting. Contact a doctor or the New Zealand National Poisons Centre immediately on 0800 POISON (0800 764 766).

If a pet or livestock animal may have consumed the bait or a poisoned rodent, contact a veterinarian immediately. Vitamin K1 is an effective antidote when administered under appropriate medical or veterinary direction. Do not wait for symptoms to develop.

Bulk Bait for Ongoing Rodent Management

For larger properties and customers who need to keep numerous bait stations supplied, Pestoff Rodent Blocks 6.5kg (Brodifacoum) provide a substantial quantity for ongoing rat and mouse control.

The 6.5kg pack is particularly well suited to farms, lifestyle properties, warehouses, workshops, multiple buildings and established rodent-control programmes, while the secure block design makes consumption and replenishment easy to monitor.

For smaller applications, consider the 500g or 3kg packs. For particularly high-volume commercial, rural or professional requirements, the 10kg Pestoff Rodent Blocks may be more suitable.
