How much Rat X does a rat need to consume for it to be lethal? How does this bait kill?

Answer:

A rat would have to consume 40-60 grams, or 1.5 to 2 ounces of Rat X, or about 10-15 pellets for a lethal dose. This product kills by dehydration. The mice and rats will eat the bait like a food source. Mice and rats have stomach sensors that tell 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.
