- Nesting materials: Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation.
- Damaged food packaging: Gnaw marks on boxes and bags.
- Scratching noises: Heard especially at night.
- Pungent ammonia-like smell: A strong odor from their urine.

Pestoff Rodent BlockView product
FAQs
Can Pestoff Rodent Blocks be used in residential areas?
Yes, Pestoff Rodent Blocks can be used in residential areas for controlling rats and mice. These blocks are suitable for household use and can be effective in managing rodent problems around homes. However, it's crucial to follow proper safety precautions and usage guidelines:
1. Always place the blocks in secure bait stations to prevent access by non-target animals, children, and pets.
2. For mice, place a single block in a bait station in areas frequented by mice, such as near refrigerators, stoves, or cupboards.
3. For rats, use 4 to 8 blocks in a bait station, placing them along rat runways or near burrows.
4. Check and replenish bait stations daily until consumption ceases, then repeat periodically to monitor for re-infestation.
5. Keep livestock and pets away from treated areas and inform neighbours about the use of rodenticides.
It's important to note that while Pestoff Rodent Blocks are effective, they contain brodifacoum, a potent anticoagulant poison. Users should handle the product with care and follow all safety instructions provided by the manufacturer.
How long does it take for Pestoff Rodent Blocks to work?
Pestoff Rodent Blocks typically take 5 to 10 days to effectively control rats and mice. This is due to the active ingredient, brodifacoum, which is a slow-acting anticoagulant poison. The delayed onset of symptoms ensures that rodents do not associate their illness with the bait, helping to prevent bait shyness.
The timeline for effectiveness may vary for different pest species:
• Rats and mice: 5 to 10 days
• Possums: Up to 15 days
Although death occurs within this timeframe, it's important to maintain and replace the bait as needed:
• Replace blocks that are more than 50% eaten to prevent them from being removed from bait stations.
• Continue supplying blocks until the bait is no longer consumed.
• For continuous control, replace uneaten blocks monthly to ensure freshness.
The slow-acting nature of brodifacoum allows rodents to consume a lethal dose over 4 or 5 days before poisoning symptoms appear, contributing to the product's effectiveness in controlling rodent populations.

Customer Reviews About Rodents (Rats & Mice)
Perfect caught and killed rat quickly
So far so good, it's only been a few weeks but no scuttling in the walls or roof. Ask me again after 12 months use.
Hallelujah!!! I lost the original key...searched for a month or so & thought I'd have to buy a whole new Rat Bait Station.... Whoop!! Then I found Petrol online & Problem SOLVED!!!
Good fitting for the bait station
Great
I’m impressed with this product in one week time no more rat noises from the ceiling and food poison not touched so they run far, very happy with this purchase. Had 2 cats and 2 dogs they have no issues since this product is on either. Good investment.
My new Pestrol Rodent Free device is doing its job. My upstairs has not seen hair or antenna of a pest since its arrival. A second is definitely on the agenda as soon as the budget permits.
Good quality product, not huge so the bigger one may be better, but caught 3 good sized cats. Easy to set and easy for cats to set off.
Very quick turnaround :)
This is a great product. We had a problem with neighbours cats visiting and causing havoc in our garden. Got two of these, one for the front and inside the garden. So far no cats for the last two weeks.
