The rats avoided the pellets like the plague. They would eat everything else but not those expansive pellets. Waste of money.

I wrote a review on their discs, so I’d like to post some parts of that here as well since the same info applies. I apologize for the all capital letter title. Just know that this stuff doesn’t work. Well, that isn’t 100% accurate since I don’t know what would happen to the mice and rats if they ate this. Why? Because THE WON’T EAT IT! I bought the discs back in March, and I even went so far as to buy their little bait stations too. I placed the station right next to a hole where mice were entering my home. Of course they simply avoided it. I set up a night vision capable camera and watched them walk around it rather than go inside and eat the bait. So, I placed a disc outside of the station and still in front of the hole. They literally crawled over it and just went along their merry way. So then I took some of these pellets. I put them in a tray with some bird seed, uncooked rice (because that’s what they got into the last time in my house - a brand new bag of rice), and even some cheese. Guess what they ate? EVERYTHING BUT THESE PELLETS. I had so hope that maybe some of the powder from the pellets did something to those little critters, but the mice problem persisted. So I did what any partially sane person (since I was losing my sanity because of these mice) would do at this point: I crushed some up and sprinkled it all over various foods. One bowl of rice. Later a bowl of dry cereal. I tried so many things, and then I even put out cheese with the dust sprinkled on it. Guess what? These little critters now avoided all the foods they were eating inside my home! WOW! It seems to me that this stuff doesn’t attract them at all, but instead, it makes them not want to eat stuff. So what about outside? Nope, not a single bite. I placed bait stations outside too. I even got some other brand ones with bigger openings so the rats coming down from the hillside would fit. They crawled on top of the stations rather than go inside. And when I put bait on top of the station, they didn’t even pay them any attention. Mice and Rats are simply not attracted to this bait at all, so how could it possibly work if they won’t eat it? I have no clue what to do to entice them to eat these darn things. I was so hopeful that this would reduce their numbers, but I was deeply disappointed. What a waste of my hard earned money. If I was still within the return window, I would pack all of this useless stuff back up in the bags to get a refund. Yes, I have all the discs still because the mice and rats won’t even sniff this stuff let alone eat it. And I have the bag of pellets about half full. Save your money and buy something else that’s more effective. I don’t know how other people got the mice and rats to eat this stuff, but I’ve got some crazy smart rodents that are just built different.

The rats and mice just strewed the pellets around, so I tried different sweeteners to coat them with. Still the same results So I decided to crush them into a powder and make PeanutButter balls. when I hit the pellets with a hammer it just bounced off of them. I finally had to crush each pellet with a pair of pliers. It's little wonder why the rats didn't eat any of them. Now I don't know if the pellets were just so old, they atrophied or they are made that way. I now have to wait and see if my peanut Butterball idea works. I hope so i don't want to use a more painful method of getting rid of our rat problem. Added cement I noticed the rats came for my bird seed so i tried a new formular. I melted peanut butter in hot water stirred in a handful of bird seed and poured in the hot water. they are now eating my mixture twice a day i have been through two 3 lb bags of poison and am starting on my third 3lb bag and so far It just looks like i am feeding them a Gorma meal. i still have a dozen baby's and a few adults all over my porch I don't yet know if Rat X is effective in getting rid of them. When I find out I will let you know. Update : It's now been 9lbs of rat X and no visible results. being discouraged I had to resort to buying Tom Cat rat traps. The pack of 4 very durable and effective. Grose i must admit. So far i have caught 19 rats and 2 mice . The worst part is when they are only practically caught and suffering. I had caught 2 this way. Not knowing what else to do I dropped them in a bucket of water, trap and all. I had to wait till they drowned to dispose of them. To horrific to go into detail as to what that involved. As for Rat X the jury is still out. Will it kill if you only have a few I don't know.

Updated review August 15, 2026. It's works! First wash your hands they can smell you from the oils on your fingers and will stay away. Then I take a small snack sized zip lock bag add about a tablespoon of bacon grease and about 1/2 cup of Ratx shake bag to coat and put it out with zip lock open. I also cut one side do they can get in easier. I vary what I do because rats are very suspicious! Some I put in snack bags closed but put some bacon grease on the outside near their nest. They drag it back to the nest. I put some in bait boxes and a throw a bunch on the side walk around the bait box as shown in the video (July 11, 2026). In the morning I sweep up the any left over Ratx on the ground and put it in a bait box. The ones with really big hole bait boxes. They go in and eat inside of them. Do not use peanut butter on the Ratx!!! It doesnt work for me. Rats know to avoid it unless they are really young ones. The older ones know we use it on traps because it's used so much. It is best to put this they days following trash pick up. They will be hungry! I have Ratx cams so I watch them eat it. Proof they eat it is in this video and photos. Their sense of smell is very good and they love bacon grease. I will say this you will never get rid of rats if you don't clean up their food sources such as holes in garbage cans, dirty yards with high grass, dog poop on ground etc. I also trap them with snap traps. I switch the types I use because rats are smart! I have the wood Snap traps. I have the plastic snap traps and I have the black tunnel type snap traps. It's best to do both Ratx and snap traps. My neighbor 300 feet away has a terrible infestation and they travel to my house. I do not want these in my house so I tighten up my fence openings so they can't squeeze through. I clean my side walks and stairs with dawn dish soap and water them vinegar and water to erase their travel highways. I put down garden lime over night on grass and sidewalks to see their paths aka rat highways. Then the next day I hose it down with water and let it sit. Because the garden lime actually breaks down the bacteria in their scent trails. If you don't find their scent trails and get rid of them. You will never get rid of rats because even if you kill all of the rats you currently have other rats will find the scent trails and follow them! It's maddening!!! The 2nd photo shows a rat that died and is decomposing from Ratx. They dont smell because the Ratx dries them out. I see several of them dead like this. I bought this because I don't want to kill other animals as secondary kills from eating a dead rat. It works!

Works... if they eat it. I have to constantly add more "pour overs" (melted pb, lard, bacon grease etc), which in this heat causes them to mold quickly... still trying to find another option that's safe for use around cats/chickens/wildlife (like this claims) until then, I'll keep this in a bait box in my barns and hope for the best.
