Pestoff Rodent Pellets 3kg (Brodifacoum)

Bulk Rat & Mouse Control for Larger Properties

Pestoff Rodent Pellets 3kg (Brodifacoum) are ready-to-use bait pellets designed for controlling rats and mice across larger properties, farms, multiple buildings and areas experiencing established rodent activity.

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

The 3kg pack provides a practical step up from the smaller 350g size, making it well suited to customers maintaining several bait stations or requiring more bait for ongoing replenishment.

Pestoff Rodent Pellets must only be used 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 could access them.

Key Benefits

• Controls rats and mice – formulated specifically for common rodent pests.
• Contains brodifacoum – 0.02g/kg active ingredient.
• Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide – designed for effective rodent control.
• Ready-to-use pellets – no mixing or preparation required.
• Bulk 3kg pack – suitable for multiple bait stations and larger properties.
• Easy to monitor – pellet consumption can be inspected and replenished as required.
• For bait stations – suitable for enclosed rat and mouse bait stations.
• Versatile use – suitable for residential, rural, commercial and industrial rodent-control programmes.

Why Choose the 3kg Pack?

The 3kg pack is ideal for customers who need more bait than the smaller 350g size but do not require the largest 10kg bulk pack.

It is particularly suited to:

• Larger residential properties
• Lifestyle blocks
• Farms
• Multiple sheds or outbuildings
• Workshops
• Warehouses
• Multiple rat or mouse bait stations
• Established rodent infestations
• Ongoing bait replenishment
• Customers wanting a practical bulk supply on hand

For smaller household problems, the 350g pack may be sufficient. For large commercial sites, extensive rural properties or high-volume programmes, the 10kg size 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 and can accumulate in the liver, kidneys and fatty tissue of poisoned animals.

Its action is delayed, and symptoms of poisoning may not become apparent for several days after the bait has been consumed.

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 bait stations 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.

The 3kg pack is particularly useful when several mouse bait stations need to be maintained across a larger property or multiple buildings.

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 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.

Because rat stations generally require more bait than mouse stations, the 3kg pack can be a practical choice where rat activity is widespread or several stations are being serviced.

Where Should Bait Stations Be Placed?

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

Common signs include:

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

Rats have relatively poor eyesight and commonly use fixed objects for navigation. Place rat bait stations directly along walls, banks, runways and near burrows rather than in exposed open areas.

Mice are commonly attracted to sheltered, warm areas near appliances, cupboards and stored materials. Place mouse bait stations close to walls and other protected edges.

Why Must the 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, pets, livestock and wildlife.
• Helps protect the pellets from moisture and contamination.
• Reduces the risk of pellets being scattered or carried away.
• Keeps the bait in a consistent location while rodents are feeding.
• Makes bait consumption easier to inspect and replenish.

For outdoor locations or areas accessible to other people, use a lockable, tamper-resistant and weather-resistant station suitable 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:

• Using an enclosed station designed to hold 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:

• Using a station with a rod or fixing point.
• You want the bait 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 fresh signs of rodent activity.

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

Product Specifications

Which Pestoff Rodent Pellet Size Should I Choose?

Pestoff Rodent Pellets are available in three sizes.

• 350g – suitable for a small household infestation or a limited number of bait stations.
• 3kg – suitable for larger properties, farms, multiple buildings or established rodent activity.
• 10kg – suitable for commercial sites, extensive rural properties and ongoing rodent-control programmes.

For customers maintaining several bait stations or dealing with more persistent rodent activity, the 3kg size provides a useful balance between quantity and convenience.

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 the 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 the pellets inside bait stations only.
• Keep the 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 eat rats or mice that have consumed 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 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 comply with 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 the product from entering streams, drains or waterways.
3. Collect the spilled material.
4. Place it inside a secure, appropriately labelled container.

Dispose of spoiled, expired or unwanted product according to the product label and applicable local requirements.

Do not reuse the empty container for any other purpose.

A Practical Bulk Size for Larger Rodent Problems

For customers needing more than a small household pack, Pestoff Rodent Pellets 3kg (Brodifacoum) provide a practical quantity for maintaining multiple bait stations and managing more established rat or mouse activity.

The 3kg size is particularly well suited to larger homes, lifestyle properties, farms, workshops, sheds and multiple buildings, while the pellet formulation makes ongoing consumption easy to inspect and replenish.

For smaller household applications, consider the 350g pack. For extensive rural, commercial or ongoing high-volume rodent-control programmes, the 10kg Pestoff Rodent Pellets may be more suitable.
