Baiting FAQs
Q:
How much rodent bait do I need?
A:
Each package is carefully labeled in accordance with strict guidelines set by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Consult the package for specific usage
information.
Q:
What's the best way to bait?
A:
Always secure bait in a bait station. TOMCAT sells its baits pre-loaded in, or packaged
with tamper-resistant bait stations. You should begin baiting as soon as you detect a problem.
Put bait stations in areas where you notice or suspect rodent activity; where rodents will find
it. Mice tend to travel only 10 to 30 feet from their nest, while a rat's home range is 100 to
150 feet. Be sure to keep bait fresh and dry, and dispose of any old or contaminated bait. As
with any rodent control product, always follow the DIRECTIONS FOR USE on the package.
The safest way to use any rodent control product is to place it in areas inaccessible to
children and pets.
Q:
Are rodent baits regulated in any way?
A:
Yes. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) closely controls the registration and sale
of these products. All products registered must meet specific guidelines for effectiveness,
fitness for use and safety. Even the wording on the exterior of every package is closely
controlled. State agencies work in concert with the EPA to monitor products for compliance.
Q:
What active ingredients are used in TOMCAT bait products?
A:
TOMCAT Mouse Killer I, II, III, X: Bromethalin
TOMCAT Rat Killer, II: Bromethalin
Q:
How can I keep rodent baits away from my pets?
A:
TOMCAT has bait stations that are Kid & Dog Resistant. They have been proven resistant to
tampering by children and dogs. However, as with all poisons, care should be taken to keep
them away from children, pets, and wildlife.
Q:
If my pet eats the rodent bait, could it die?
A:
The risk to your pet depends on what type of pet it is, how big it is, what type of bait it has
consumed, as well as how much bait was consumed. If a situation occurs, immediately call
the poison control number located on the package (1-877-854-2494) and a specially trained
individual will assist in your next steps.
Q:
If my pet eats a dead poisoned rodent, will it die?
A:
