The Big Cheese Home Choice All-Weather Block Bait is a paraffin wax block for the control of rats and mice. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, the blocks keep the bait fresh and palatable, even in wet weather and avoids spillage when setting, so it is safe for use around food storage areas.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Eliminate alternative food sources. This will make the rodenticide more attractive.

Wear gloves when handling baits, not just for safety but because rodents can detect human odours and it might cause bait shyness.

Place the bait station where there are signs of rodent activity such as droppings, evidence of feeding or even chewed skirtings.

You may want to MONITOR BEFORE BAITING like Pest Control Professionals do.  Place a non-poisonous lure (like peanut butter, nuts, chocolates, marshmallows, or soft cheese) in the bait station and monitor. When you see evidence of bait take, remove the Lure and replace with The Big Cheese Bait. This way you are ONLY using Poisons where you are likely to get the best result.

Space bait stations 2-3 metres apart.

Place the station along a wall so the wall guides the rodent into the station.

Leave the Bait Station in place for 2-3 days. Inspect baits daily for evidence of feeding. Rats can be shy and may monitor the station a few times before feeding.

Replenish baits until you see no more evidence of bait take.

Remove the bait station when feeding activity ceases and there is no more evidence of mice. This may take up to 2 weeks if there is multiple mice present.

OTHER HANDY TIPS

The Big Cheese Home Choice rodenticides use 50% less poison (.25% vs normal .5%) than most other baits, but still remains highly effective on both mice and baits.

Home Choice rodenticide baits are a MULTI-FEED baits. This means that rodents, and in particular rats may need to return to feed to ingest a lethal dose.

That’s okay. Once they start, they will return because all The Big Cheese baits are formulated to be highly palatable to mice and rats.

However, Home Choice baits have a much lower toxicity than most other baits for non-target species like cats, dogs and chickens. This does not make Home Choice safe if ingested by pets. It is still a poison but is less likely to be lethal.

Most rodent deaths will occur 4 – 7 days after consumption of bait, even though some occur more quickly. Therefore you may notice rodent activity around your premises for up to 2 weeks when there is a mice infestation.
