Pestoff Rodent Pellets 350g (Brodifacoum)

Convenient Rat & Mouse Control for Around the Home

Pestoff Rodent Pellets 350g (Brodifacoum) are ready-to-use bait pellets designed for controlling rats and mice around homes, garages, sheds and other areas experiencing rodent activity.

The pellets contain 0.02g/kg brodifacoum, a potent second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide.

The convenient 350g pack is ideal for smaller household infestations or customers using a limited number of bait stations without requiring one of the larger bulk sizes.

Pestoff Rodent Pellets must only be placed inside a suitable rodent bait station. Do not scatter loose pellets in roof spaces, gardens, sheds or other areas where children, pets, livestock or wildlife may access them.

Why Choose the 350g Pack?

The 350g pack is the smallest Pestoff Rodent Pellets size and is ideal for customers who only need enough bait for a small number of stations.

It is particularly suited to:

• Homes
• Garages
• Sheds
• Small workshops
• Roof-space rodent activity
• A limited number of rat or mouse bait stations
• Smaller household infestations
• Customers trying pellet bait before moving to a larger pack

For larger properties, multiple buildings or established infestations, the 3kg or 10kg packs may be more suitable.

What Do Pestoff Rodent Pellets Control?

Pestoff Rodent Pellets are formulated for controlling:

• Rats
• Mice

They may be used inside suitable bait stations around:

• Homes and garages
• Sheds and workshops
• Farms and lifestyle properties
• Warehouses and storage facilities
• Commercial and industrial buildings
• Areas where rodent droppings, gnawing or feeding activity has been identified

How Does Brodifacoum Work?

Brodifacoum is a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide.

It interferes with the normal clotting ability of blood after sufficient bait has been consumed. Its action is delayed, and symptoms of poisoning may not become apparent for several days.

Because the effects are not immediate, rats and mice do not normally associate feeding on the bait with the later effects of poisoning.

Continue checking and replenishing the bait station daily until the pellets cease to be eaten. Do not remove the bait after only one night of feeding.

How to Use Pestoff Rodent Pellets for Mice

For mouse control:

1. Place 50 to 100 pellets inside a Pestoff Mouse Bait Station or another suitable mouse bait station.
2. Position the station where mouse activity has been identified.
3. Choose sheltered and warm areas that remain inaccessible to children, pets and non-target animals.
4. Useful locations include areas near or beneath refrigerators, stoves, hot-water cylinders and cupboards.
5. Check bait stations daily.
6. Replenish pellets while feeding continues.
7. Continue until feeding ceases.
8. Periodically monitor the area for signs of reinfestation.

How to Use Pestoff Rodent Pellets for Rats

For rat control:

1. Place 1 to 2 cups of pellets inside a Pestoff Dead Rat Café or another suitable rat bait station.
2. Position stations in areas being used by rats.
3. Keep stations inaccessible to children, wildlife and non-target animals.
4. Place stations along fixed rat runways beside walls, fences and banks.
5. Stations may also be placed near rat burrows, droppings, gnaw marks and feeding areas.
6. Check bait stations daily.
7. Replenish pellets while feeding continues.
8. Continue until feeding ceases.
9. Periodically monitor for reinfestation.

Where Should Bait Stations Be Placed?

Good bait-station placement can make a significant difference to a rodent-control programme.

Look for evidence showing where rats or mice are feeding, nesting or travelling.

Signs can include:

• Rodent droppings
• Gnaw marks
• Damaged food packaging
• Damaged animal-feed bags
• Greasy rub marks along walls
• Burrows
• Nesting material
• Scratching noises in walls or ceilings
• Regular movement beside walls, fences or banks

Rats commonly use fixed objects as navigation points, so rat bait stations should generally be positioned alongside walls, banks, fences and established runways rather than in exposed open areas.

Mice are often found in sheltered and warm areas close to appliances, cupboards and stored materials.

Why Must Pestoff Rodent Pellets Be Used in a Bait Station?

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

A correctly selected bait station:

• Restricts access by children
• Restricts access by pets
• Helps protect livestock and wildlife
• Protects pellets from moisture and contamination
• Reduces the risk of pellets being scattered
• Keeps bait in a consistent feeding location
• Makes consumption easier to inspect
• Makes replenishment straightforward

For outdoor locations or areas accessible to other people, use a suitable lockable, tamper-resistant and weather-resistant bait station for the target rodent.

For safer placement and easier monitoring, use these pellets inside a secure rat or mouse bait station.

Pestoff Pellets or Pestoff Blocks?

Pestoff Rodent Pellets and Pestoff Rodent Blocks both contain 0.02g/kg brodifacoum and are designed to control rats and mice.

Choose pellets when:

• Your bait station is designed to contain loose bait.
• You want to easily measure how much bait is being consumed.
• You want to replenish small quantities as feeding continues.

Choose blocks when:

• Your bait station has a rod or fixing point.
• You want bait to be secured within the station.
• The station is in a more exposed outdoor location where loose pellets may be more vulnerable to moisture or removal.

Both formulations must remain enclosed inside suitable rodent bait stations.

What to Expect

Rodents may not immediately begin feeding from a newly installed bait station.

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

Once feeding begins:

• Check stations daily.
• Replenish consumed pellets.
• Continue supplying bait until feeding ceases.
• Continue monitoring for new signs of activity.

Rodents may reinfest an area if food, water and shelter remain readily available.

Important Safety Information

Pestoff Rodent Pellets are harmful and ecotoxic. Always read and follow the complete product label before use.

• Wear impervious gloves when handling pellets or open containers.
• Wear suitable protective clothing when handling the product.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while using the product.
• Do not breathe dust from the pellets.
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling.
• Use pellets inside suitable bait stations only.
• Keep pellets away from children, pets, livestock and wildlife.
• Keep livestock away from the treatment area until the product has been removed or destroyed.
• Store the product in its original labelled container.
• Keep the container tightly closed.
• Store away from food, animal feed and direct sunlight.
• Prevent pellets from entering streams, drains and waterways.
• Do not allow dogs or cats to eat poisoned rodents.
• Notify nearby pet owners where pets may be at risk from poisoned carcasses.

Secondary-Poisoning Risk

Brodifacoum can accumulate in the liver, kidneys and fatty tissue of poisoned animals.

Dogs, cats and wildlife may therefore be poisoned if they consume rats or mice that have eaten the bait.

Collect poisoned rodent carcasses wherever practical and dispose of them according to the product label.

Where burial is permitted, carcasses should be buried at least 600mm below ground to help reduce access by scavenging animals.

Use in Public-Access Areas

If Pestoff Rodent Pellets are used in an area where the public has a right of access, warning signs must be displayed to notify the public that poison has been applied.

The signs must remain in place for 12 months after the product has been removed or destroyed.

Always follow the complete product label and applicable legal requirements.

Storage and Shelf Life

Store Pestoff Rodent Pellets:

• In their original labelled container
• Tightly closed
• Away from food and animal feed
• Away from children and domestic animals
• Out of direct sunlight

Shelf life may vary depending on storage conditions.

Do not use the product after the expiry date printed on the container. Dispose of expired bait according to the product label.

Accidental Poisoning

Symptoms of brodifacoum poisoning may not become apparent for several days.

Possible symptoms include:

• Pale gums
• Blood in urine or faeces
• Unusual bruising

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

If a pet or livestock animal may have consumed the pellets 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 appear.

Spill and Disposal Information

If pellets are spilled:

1. Isolate the area.
2. Prevent pellets from entering streams, drains or waterways.
3. Collect the spilled material.
4. Place it inside a secure, appropriately labelled container.
