Contrac All-Weather Blox Rodenticide - Questions & Answers

Yes, the mice and rodents in the area will be attracted to the Contrac Blox as they are made of a variety of very attractive food based ingredients for the rodents to want to feed on. Any rodents looking for a food source would want to go to the bait in the stations. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

We do not advise using Contrac Blox Rodenticide to treat for moles as it is not labeled to used for that treatment. Moles' primary food source is actually earthworms, and they stay underground to feed, so it is unlikely they would even consume a bait such as Contrac. Please refer to our guide on How to get rid of Moles to help further asisst you. 

Contrac Blox Rodenticide should be applied in tamper-resistant stations to prevent non-target animals and children from accessing the bait inside. Although this product is only labeled for rats and mice, it is possible that a squirrel could be attracted to the bait matrix for consumption since squirrels are in the same family as rats/mice. 

You do not have to us peanut butter with Contrac Blox. Contrac Blox contains its own food scents that attract rats and mice.

Since squirrels are in the same family as rats/mice, it is possible the bait matrix in the Contrac All-Weather Blox Rodenticide could be attractive to flying squirrels also. While rodenticides can be used indoors for rodent control, we typically do not recommend baiting for rodents indoors as the bait can draw insects and can also keep drawing the rodents into the home. We would recommend using the Contrac Blox in the tamper resistant bait stations outside the home around the structure. Inside the home, you can use Detour Rodent Repellent to make the attic less appealing to rodents and squirrels and use Rodent Snap Traps or Glue Boards to catch unwanted guests in your attic.  

If you know where the squirrels are entering you can use an Tomahawk One Way Door Excluder where they are entering the attic. This will allow the squirrells to exit through the hole, but not get back in. Exclusion Methods with Copper Mesh or Xcluder Wire are great ways to seal up holes to keep mice, rats and squirrels out.

 

 

 

 

We cannot recommend that you use Contrac Blox Rodenticide or any other baits for chipmunk control since these products are not registered for that use. There are food attractants in any rodenticide that may be attractive to non-target animals, which is part of the reason these baits should be used in tamper-resistant stations. We can only recommend trapping and repellents for chipmunk control. You may want to contact your local Wildlife/Animal Control Department for any other available options in your area.

Chipmunk Control 

Contrac Blox contains food ingredients that attract rodents. The rodents then consume the bait. When they receive a lethal amount of bait, they will then expire. Rodent baits should be used in tamper resistant bait stations to avoid accidental contact with children and non-target animals.

Contrac does not contain glass. It contains food based ingredients that attract the rodents to the bait for consumption. It is an anti-coagulant which means once the mice eat this product they begin to bleed to death from the inside.  The mice first become sick, and then grow tired and weak and pass in their sleep.  It can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days depending on how much the mice have eaten.  They do not need water for the product to work.

The Contrac can kill a raccoon if it ate enough, but it would have to eat a large amount.  It doesn't sound like your stations are secure at all to the ground or to some other structure.  You can use liquid nails and affix the station on a 1 x 1 foot paver you can buy from home depot.  This well prevent them from being moved.  Also, if you make sure the bait is secured on the rods, and the station is secure, it should prevent the raccoons from being able to work the bait free from the rods.
