Pindone Possum & Rat Pellets 10kg

Take Control of Rats & Possums Across Larger Properties

Pindone Possum & Rat Pellets 10kg are a highly palatable cereal-based bait designed for the effective control of rats and possums around farms, orchards, lifestyle blocks, bush margins and rural properties. Made in New Zealand, these pellets contain 0.5g/kg Pindone, a proven first-generation anticoagulant that encourages repeated feeding for reliable pest control.

The 10kg pack is well suited to medium and large baiting programmes where multiple bait stations need to be maintained over an extended period. Whether you’re protecting farm buildings, orchards, forestry blocks or rural infrastructure, Pindone provides dependable control while offering a lower secondary poisoning risk than many second-generation anticoagulant baits.

What Are Pindone Possum & Rat Pellets?

Pindone Possum & Rat Pellets are green cereal-based pellets formulated to attract rats and possums. As a multi-feed anticoagulant, Pindone requires target animals to feed on the bait over several days, helping to reduce bait shyness while delivering effective pest control.

Unlike fast-acting single-feed rodenticides, Pindone works progressively. For best results, a continuous supply of fresh bait should remain available until feeding has stopped and pest activity has ceased.

Please note: Pindone Possum & Rat Pellets are not recommended for controlling mice. If mice are your primary pest, choose a bait specifically formulated for mouse control.

Why Choose the 10kg Pack?

The 10kg pack is ideal for customers managing larger properties or maintaining multiple bait stations.

It’s particularly suited for:

• Farms
• Lifestyle blocks
• Orchards
• Forestry blocks
• Bush margins
• Rural sheds and outbuildings
• Ongoing pest management programmes

The larger pack size offers better value for properties with consistent rat or possum activity and reduces the need for frequent reordering.

How It Works

Pindone is a first-generation anticoagulant that interferes with the normal clotting of blood. Rats and possums need to consume the bait over several days before receiving an effective dose.

Because Pindone is a multi-feed bait, it is important to maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh pellets throughout the treatment period. Removing bait too early may prevent pests from consuming enough bait for effective control.

Recommended Usage

Always place pellets inside a suitable, secure bait station.

For rat control:

• Approximately 150g per bait station for low activity.
• Approximately 1–2kg in larger-capacity bait stations where activity is moderate to high.
• Position stations near rat runs, burrows, droppings and feeding areas.
• Larger outdoor baiting programmes may space stations approximately 50–100 metres apart, depending on pest pressure and site conditions.

For possum control:

• Position bait stations near den sites, feeding areas, bush margins and commonly travelled routes.
• Check bait stations regularly and replenish fresh bait as required.
• Continue baiting until feeding stops.

Where to Use

Suitable for:

• Farms
• Lifestyle blocks
• Orchards
• Bush margins
• Forestry blocks
• Rural sheds
• Agricultural buildings
• Around vegetation where rats and possums are active

Always use inside a secure bait station positioned where target pest activity has been observed.

Why This Product Is Different

Unlike many single-feed rodenticides, Pindone encourages repeated feeding over several days, helping to minimise bait shyness and improve long-term control programmes.

As a first-generation anticoagulant, it also has a lower secondary poisoning risk than second-generation anticoagulant baits, making it a preferred choice for many rural pest management programmes when used responsibly.

What to Expect

• Rats and possums must feed over several days.
• Results are gradual rather than immediate.
• Maintain fresh bait until feeding stops.
• Regularly inspect bait stations and replace damp or contaminated bait.
• Best results are achieved when all active areas are baited simultaneously.
