Customer Reviews for ECOCLEAR PRODUCTS RatX 3 lbs. Rodent Control Animal Bait

The rats did not eat it.

I used this product in an outside trap. The first week all of the pellets were consumed. I dont see Rat droppings in my patio anymore. I rebaited the trap with fresh product and after two weeks most of the pellets are still there. I assume most of the rats are gone. I'm happy with the results.

This worked well for getting rid of a rat that had taken up residence under the hood of a car that an electronic zapper rat trap wasn’t catching for some reason. I found a small 2” round plastic container and filled it with the bait pellets and placed it in the engine bay close to where the rat had built its nest. A couple of days later, I checked and could see that some of the bait had been scattered around and was showing signs of having been gnawed on. It seems like it also killed the rat since as far as I can tell, it is no longer in the engine bay (it was normally casually climbing around every time I opened the hood), so I assume it has wandered off and died somewhere. I plan to leave the bait container under the hood of the car even though the rat appears to have left so I can get the next one that comes along. I also put some bait in an area of a shed where I could see a rat had been holed up for the winter, and similarly, some of the bait has gone and there are no more droppings on the shed floor. The bait has to be measured out and left in a dry area for the mice or rats to feed on. It takes about ½-2 oz of bait for a rat and 1/3 to ½ oz for a mouse according to the instructions. If the rodents have a burrow, you can make bait packs by wrapping the RatX pellets in plastic kitchen wrap and poking them down the burrow holes with a stick. I suspect it may also work on other rodents like ground squirrels and plan to give this a try. The good news is that you can use this around livestock and poultry as it is a naturally derived poison that seems to be based largely on corn gluten meal along with maltodextrin, sorbitol and wheat flour. This is important to us since we live in the country and have barn owls, red tailed hawks and gopher snakes that will take mice and rats, so if the rodent is preyed upon by another predator, it won’t kill the predator. That being said, the instructions recommend using gloves for safe handling and also keeping pet rodents well away from the bait. I couldn’t see any ‘use by’ or ‘best before’ dates printed on the packaging, so it looks like it has an indefinite shelf life provided you store it in a cool, dry place.

Hate to admit that we occasionally have an invasion by a rat or two. But I have always had to be very careful with baits, since most are dangerous to children and pets. This product Rat-X is a safe non-toxic bait that can be used all around the house. It is a 100% natural food source for rats in particular. It is in pellet form which makes for easy use in holes (burrows), and around the outside of the house (or other structures) and in bait trays or bait boxes. It kills by dehydration which usually causes the rat to return to its burrow where it will die. I am proud that now I can depend on a child and pet safe solution to pesky rats.

I have tried various types of rodent control over the years, trying to get rid of mice, rats and chipmunks. Most traps are ineffective and most baits do not really let you know if they are effective because the animal will move to another location to die and I may, or may not, actually smell the decaying carcass, so there may be no way of knowing, but I have always had greater effect/less rodents, after using bait traps. I like that this product gives me the ability to refill existing bait traps, as well as create some of my own, from paper plates/bowls.I am also pouring some of the pellets into chipmunk holes. This is a naturally derived product, meaning it is corn meal gluten, which swells in the gut of the rodent, and kills them . There is also a small amount of sodium chloride to expedite death. I expect good results, will add to this review if anything changes

I've successfully used this product in the past and was looking to deter pests outside our house. In researching other products, they have potential secondary kill issue. This product is designed to cause the rodent to retreat to its' burrow where bodily systems shut down. There doesn't appear to be an issue with secondary kill to your, or your neighbor's, pets. It can take a few days to work. First, the rodent has to "find" the food, then the ingredients take a few days to fully work.

NON-Toxic rat bait. Safe for pets. Internet #205743655 Model # 100516268 Store SKU #1000031181 RatX 1 lb. Rodent Control I raise chickens and have always had a problem with rats. I couldn't use bait or traps for fear of killing a chicken. See photos. They suggest wrapping the bait in plastic wrap, I used zip lock bags. I stuffed them down the rat hole in the floor of the coop. See photos. RatX is non-toxic rat bait that kills rodents without harming any other animals. I was surprised it was made from 100% natural ingredients The mice and rats eat the bait and will cause them to stop drinking water, thus they die from dehydration. The claim is that it is great to use around animals and children because it is safe and non-toxic. I still keep it away from animals and children where possible. NOTE: This product does not contain Warfarin. The use of warfarin in rat poison is now declining because many rat populations have developed resistance to it and much better poisons are now available. Manufacturers Comments: No warfarin Formulated for indoor and outdoor pest control Guaranteed to be 100% effective Safe around pets Non-toxic, natural pest control

Do not purchase! What a waste of money! Its been 1 week now and still the Rats & Mice have not touched, I used all of the pellets and place in the crevices of the large rocks I have in the back yard, they keep coming! None have died so far.Very disappointed with this product.

No stars. Put a nice big container of this stuff under our house because we could hear a rat scratching around the walls. The container is now 1/2 gone a month or two later. We still hear the rat which has invited friends as well and they have decided to move on to the wiring under the hood of our vehicles now. The poison is still there but it doesnt do a thing. We used to be able to get the green d-con both in pellets and cubes. THOSE worked !!!!! We would find dead rats everywhere. Here in LA we have a rat problem due to an overcrowded population and a massive homeless problem which draws the rats. Please, someone come up with something that actuall kills rats and not just feed them. If i could starve them that would be great but they go after everything else

My customers are still experiencing problems with mice so I went back to Home depot and buy the mice packets call Tom cat place pacs to give to my customers those works much better.

I've been feeding this product to a rat hiding in my house for about 2 weeks! I think I developed an immunity, or the poison potency is terrible in this product! A bullet seems to be the only that kills these things.

I poured a few pellets in jar lids and placed them in the corners inside a detached garage/storage building. A few days later I saw evidence that mice had been in the lids and within a few days I saw one dead. So this seems to be working. I live in a rural area with more than 10 acres of fields around me and have mice and field rat problems from time to time. It is worse in the winter so time will tell how effective this product is over the long haul. I researched the ingredients since this was not Warfarin, commonly used in mice/rat poison. I found how the active ingredient, sodium chloride, works to kill mice/rats and have included that information from the RatX website: Rat X is a non-toxic rodent bait that kills rodents without harming any other species. Rat X is made from 100% natural ingredients - it can even be used inside food handling facilities. The mice and rats will eat the bait like a food source and Rat X will cause dehydration. Mice and rats have stomach sensors that tells them when they are thirsty. When they eat this bait, it turns off their stomach sensors and it can no longer tell their brain to drink water. They have no desire for drinking water so they will just go back to their burrow, and begin the cycle - dehydration, failing kidneys, coma and then death. Great product to use around animals and children because it is safe and non toxic. - See more at: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/rat-p-4482.html#sthash.RK8noIoL.dpuf

It is nice to have a product that will work and I like that it is safe for people, pets, wildlife, and the environment. I have used traps in the garage, but I do not care for emptying the traps. These granules are non-toxic and made with 55% gluten corn meal and 2% sodium chloride. The remaining ingredients are maltodextrin, sorbitol, wheat flour, and wheat germ oil. It works by dehydrating the rodent and it will eventually die. The package has a zip closure which is easy to open and close. This rodenticide worked in my garage, where there is no source of any other food. The food would disappear and I kept refilling the dish. Last week, I found a dead mouse outside near my garage. What a relief to know that if any of our wildlife found it first, they would not be poisoned!

This stuff worked great!!!! The Rats are gone and there was no smell at all!!!!!!

Complete waste of time, money!! Homemade trap would have worked better.

I didn't think this product would work but i wanted to try it anyway. It works wonders. Glad I purchased it!!!

When it takes a few days to die, rodents don't remember what is causing them to die and they continue to eat the bait until all of them are gone!

This is great at effectively killing rats and keeping pets safe. We keep this out in our backyard shed and there are no rats.

Works everytime. I have had a few issues with rats at different times and this product has never failed!

Had a few rats who wouldnt eat any bait I was putting out .Purchased Mousex and 2 days later found a dead rat

Very good product. happy with its results. Keep up the good work.

we use this in the basement of our house and in the attic. no rodents stay here!

First time using this but it is effective! Haven't seen the evidence but I don't see or hear them in my attic

I leave it in my garage and very, very slowly the pellets disappear! and so do the rats

I like that this is not a danger to the cats and dogs that run around the neighborhood, but kills the rats fairly quickly for being an all natural product.

Exactly as described and great price for the effectiveness of the product

I totally recommend using these, and taking your house back!
