Pestoff Rodent Pellets 10kg (Brodifacoum)

High-Volume Rat & Mouse Control

Pestoff Rodent Pellets 10kg (Brodifacoum) are ready-to-use bait pellets designed for high-volume rat and mouse control across farms, extensive rural properties, commercial sites and industrial premises.

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

As the largest pack size in the Pestoff Rodent Pellets range, the 10kg pack is ideal for customers maintaining numerous bait stations or requiring a substantial supply for ongoing rodent-control programmes.

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.

Why Choose the 10kg Pack?

The 10kg pack is designed for customers requiring substantial quantities of rodent bait.

It provides a high-volume alternative to repeatedly purchasing smaller packs, making it particularly suitable where numerous bait stations require regular checking and replenishment.

Ideal applications include:

• Farms
• Extensive lifestyle properties
• Agricultural facilities
• Warehouses
• Storage facilities
• Commercial premises
• Industrial buildings
• Workshops
• Multiple sheds and outbuildings
• Extensive bait-station networks
• Established rat or mouse activity
• Ongoing rodent-management programmes

For customers who don’t require this quantity, the 350g or 3kg packs may provide a more practical option.

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. Place stations in areas used by mice but out of reach of children, wildlife and non-target animals.
3. Position stations in sheltered and warm areas.
4. Useful locations include areas near or beneath refrigerators, stoves, hot-water cylinders and cupboards.
5. Check bait stations daily.
6. Replenish pellets until feeding ceases.
7. Continue monitoring periodically to identify any reinfestation.

The 10kg pack is particularly useful where numerous mouse bait stations need to be maintained across multiple buildings or a large site.

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. Place stations in areas used by rats but out of reach of children, wildlife and non-target animals.
3. Position stations along fixed rat runways beside walls, fences and banks.
4. Stations may also be placed near rat burrows, droppings, gnaw marks and feeding areas.
5. Check bait stations daily.
6. Replenish pellets until feeding ceases.
7. Continue monitoring periodically to identify any reinfestation.

Because rat stations generally require larger quantities of bait, the 10kg pack is particularly suited to extensive rat-control programmes involving multiple stations.

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 quantities as feeding continues.

Choose blocks when:

• Using a station with a rod or fixing point that allows bait to be secured.
• You want to reduce the chance of rodents carrying bait away.
• The station is in a more exposed outdoor location where loose pellets could 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 time to investigate and enter a new station.

Once feeding begins:

• Check bait 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.

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.

• 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.
