Ruby Block 25 contains the multi-feed active ingredient Difenacoum that gives users confidence to treat a rodent infestation in more sensitive areas / homes where pets, animals and children may also frequent.

Each 300g pouch contains 10 x 30g wrapped blocks, enough for 3 x rat bait points.

Medium to high infestations require a number of bait points. Bait refills may be required to replenish any bait taken. Once bait-take has stopped, the infestation has been controlled, so bait must be withdrawn from the bait stations and disposed of correctly. Always read the label.

Active: 0.0025% Difenacoum

Sapphire Paste must be used with a secured tamperproof bait station

How to use

Check for signs of activity in and around buildings. This can be burrows or runs. Rats are very cautious and will run beside buildings and look to hide in any cover that might offer them a form of safety.
Place tamperproof bait stations every 5-10m apart where there are signs of rodent activity and in areas where rodents would feel safe and not exposed.
Place 90g of Ruby Blocks into each of the rat bait stations. The blocks are wrapped and have a hole through the centre allowing them to be securely place onto a baiting rod of the bait station.
Check the bait 5-7 days after the first treatment and replenish any bait taken.
Search for, remove and dispose of any dead rodents that are found.

Ruby Block 25 - 300g Pouch Rat / Mouse Bait FAQs

What You Can Do to Increase the Effectiveness of Rat Poison

Rodents are not only picky eaters but also they can be quite intelligent. They learn quickly, meaning the smarter ones will start "bait avoidance" once they notice a problem with their food or usual feeding paths.

Here are some ways to counter these sly creatures and increase the effectiveness of rat poison.

#1. Ensure You Use Fresh Rodenticides

Whenever you have a rat problem, ensure you use fresh rodenticides. You don't want to use a pack you've had stored in your basement or since the last infestation.

You need a fresh set because you have a higher probability that it might have expired. It's also possible that various factors, such as the storage conditions, might have reduced its effectiveness.

Using expired rodenticide in such cases will help the rodent develop resistance to that particular toxin.

#2. Constant Clean-Up of The Bait Area

Once you set up the rat trap, you need to inspect the area frequently. Replace any bait that the rats have eaten with fresh bait and remove any leftovers.

Also, check the surrounding area for any dead rats. These steps will reduce the chances of bait shyness occurring.

#3. Use Pre-Bait to Encourage the Rodents to Eat the Poison

Rodents will usually nibble at the food and move onto the next meal to avoid poisoning. If the rat doesn't fall sick after a day, it will come back for another bite.

If it does fall sick, the rat will avoid any meal with that same taste, smell, or flavour.

To prevent this from happening, you can use pre-bait with the same flavour, taste, and smell as the toxic bait some days before placing the poisonous bait. That way, the rodent associates smell and taste with positive outcomes and will not avoid it when you switch it to a toxic option after a couple of days.

#4. Remove Alternate Food Sources

Before setting out bait, use tightly sealed containers they can't gnaw through to get food. By doing this, the rodent will have no other choice but to eat or at least taste the bait.

You should also use metal containers that are harder to open for storing your garbage.

#5. Place the Rat Poison in the Appropriate Areas

Where you put the poison is vital to its effectiveness. Look out for any areas where you have high concentrations of rodents' faeces and urine. Those areas are where you need to place your baits.

Once you place the baits, ensure you don't move them around.

Rats notice when an object has moved around and might avoid it. If the rodents haven't touched the bait for a while, you'll need to move it.

Finally, ensure you place the baits between the food supply and where you think might be their habitat. Usually, you want to look for densely covered areas. Rodents love to rest and feed in these sorts of places.
