    Q
    Is Rat X safe for chickens?
    I have chickens and would like to put the throw packs out there
    A

    Rat X is safe for chickens & other animals as long as used in a secure bait station. If you throw the pack out there openly, it is not only illegal but you are also putting other animals at risk of consuming it.

    Q
    I had the free running guinea pig will the Rat X harm her?
    A

    Rat X has not been tested on guinea pigs, but guinea pigs are rodents so we would not recommend using Rat X where it would be accessible to them.

    Q
    If my chickens eat Rat X, will I need to throw the eggs they lay away?
    Rats have dug holes near my chicken house and in the chicken run. I have put rat X in the holes but I believe my chickens got the first batch. Will this poison the eggs my chickens lay? Should I throw those eggs away and if so for how long should I throw the eggs away?
    A

    Q
    Is Rat X safe for possums?
    I don't want to harm possums if they eat the product.
    A

    Rat X is a non-toxic rodent bait that kills rodents without harming any other species. Rat X is made from 100% natural ingredients - it can even be used inside food handling facilities. The mice and rats will eat the bait like a food source and Rat X will cause dehydration. Mice and rats have stomach sensors that tells 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. Great product to use around animals and children because it is safe and non toxic. Please be sure to review the product label for more information and complete application instructions.

    Q
    Does putting syrup on RatX prevent it from working properly?
    A

    Rat X is already made with food-based additives that are appealing to rodents so additional additives are not needed and should be avoided.  Adding additional materials to the bait can cause the rodents to avoid it altogether, or may deter them from feeding on enough of the product to consume a lethal dose.
