shropshire mole 190 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Are you finding any rat resistance/difficulty controlling rats?? I often use Rat CP Blocks which so far seem to work very well, I do use difenacoum/bromadiolone preps as well so that all bases are covered. What are works for you?? Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,100 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 i was watching a program about super rats a few weeks ago and bishops castle was on there because it has super rats, they are imune to all off the shelf rat poisons. there is only 2 strains of poison that kills them which you need to be licensed to buy. apparently there is only 2 poisons available that can still kill all rats.

PFS 12 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Depends where the rats are if they're inside I jump straight on the broadifcoum paste and it absolutely knocks them bandy. I like the whole grain diffenacoum bait by pel gar for outside, I've never had any problems but I know some people do struggle with it. Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,100 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 100% of the rats tested in bishops castle were imune to all the off the shelf poisons thats why they said they were super rats. the fookers are living off the poison Quote Link to post
leey 26 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I've been using whole grain diffenacoum bait that has been affective but they have become wise to it in my pens and I'm limited to places to put it as my chickens can get to it I'm after some other poisons that are affective if anyone can recommend cheers..

Have I missed something, do you mean the Romax Rat 100g rectangular pasta type sachet (it is quite hard), is there a solid block these days? Most sites will get Difenacoum or Bromadiolone based baits depending on the survey, but I have certainly noticed what I consider a resistance on more than one site, usually move on to Coumatetralyl if needed.

mole trapper 1,646 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Decker, what coumatetralyl are you using? Quote Link to post
iwm 71 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Traps air gun and dogs no resistance to them!!!!!! 3 Quote Link to post
PFS 12 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 The customers won't like the bill how long it would take to use traps, air gun & dogs only on an infestation. An integrated system of traps & bait works for me & if I can pick a few off with the dog I will (must be the right situation, not on a commercial premise). Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Decker, what coumatetralyl are you using? Romax Rat CP I note it says Soft Block on the container but I consider it a big pasta type! Edited August 18, 2014 by Deker Quote Link to post
shropshire mole 190 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Emailed Barratine and Killgerm yesterday to see if there are any plans to bring out other coumatetrayl products, since resistance seems to be a problem. Barratine said "will be announced in November about new products" and Bayer bring out a coumatetrayl foam soon Quote Link to post
shropshire mole 190 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Rat CP dont think its a pasta type, more a soft block, which is easily broken when putting the bait on wires to secure bait in burrows. Could do with it being a little bit more flexible. I tend to use it as my number one rat kill product, ans so far seems to do the trick, after all "time is money" Quote Link to post

An integrated system of traps & bait works for me & if I can pick a few off with the dog I will (must be the right situation, not on a commercial premise). I’m with you on that one; airgun for my own house – bait for everyone else. Nothing to do with resistance, just don’t want a load of dead rats under my floor. If only you could make the punters smell a load of rotting rats, I recon they’d pay the extra to let you do more trapping. 1 Quote Link to post
steven35 30 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 What about the electronic sound thing that gives ultrasonic sound spose to get rid of them by giving a loud sound that they can't stand let me know if it's right or wrong they use the same kind of thing when they put up power lines to keep all wildlife away I know this as I went hunting quite a lot to the woods went one day not a thing for miles this went on for month's asked about an was told about the work on the power lines and about the ultrasonic thing when they went the wildlife returned like it never happened the most silent few months was strange but works for them Quote Link to post
