If you\u2019re interested in using chemical rat poisons, here are a few different types to consider:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anticoagulants\">Anticoagulants<\/h3>\n<p>Anticoagulants are a very common type of rat poison that can include chemicals like brodifacoum, diphacinone, warfarin, bromadiolone, and more. One particularly good anticoagulant poison bait is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B007ICK5RG\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=housemethod0a7c9-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B007ICK5RG&amp;linkId=3b36d5dc5c86a0dcd90f6483d0797056\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">JT Eaton 709-pn Bait Block<\/a>. This first-generation anticoagulant contains specially formulated blocks with a peanut butter flavor to attract and eliminate mice and rats.<\/p>\n<p>Anticoagulant rodenticides\u00a0work well against rats because they contain chemicals that deplete Vitamin K, which is an important component in blood clotting and coagulation. When a rat ingests an anticoagulant, the poison suppresses the growth of Vitamin K in the intestinal tract and diminishes vitamin levels within a matter of days, causing hemorrhages and internal bleeding.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bromethalin\">Bromethalin<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addl.purdue.edu\/newsletters\/1997\/spring\/bromoethalin.shtml\">Bromethalin isn\u2019t an anticoagulant<\/a>, but it can give rodents a lethal dose in a single feeding within 24 to 36 hours. If you\u2019re unsure about what type of bromethalin product to purchase, try\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tomcat-Bait-Chunx-Pail-LB\/dp\/B005BV0DD2?keywords=tomcat+rodenticide&amp;qid=1666289341&amp;qu=eyJxc2MiOiIxLjk2IiwicXNhIjoiMi4xMCIsInFzcCI6IjEuNzUifQ%3D%3D&amp;sbo=RZvfv%2F%2FHxDF%2BO5021pAnSA%3D%3D&amp;sr=8-2&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=hm095-20&amp;linkId=e2bb57e49bd1c2f5b9e7900b6d513a64&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Tomcat Rodenticide with Bromethalin<\/a>. <strong>However, take precautions and consider using a chemical-free option, such as traps, if you have pets in your home.<\/strong> Bromethalin is known to poison other animals.<\/p>\n<p>This odorless, crystalline compound is a fast-acting neurotoxin that targets the brain and liver and damages a rat\u2019s central nervous system after being ingested. It kills rats within a few hours of consumption by causing a buildup of sodium in liver cells and cerebral spinal fluid in the brain.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cholecalciferol\">Cholecalciferol<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC9938244\/\">According to the National Library of Medicine<\/a>, cholecalciferol baits have the highest mortality rates when compared to common anticoagulant rat poisons. If you\u2019re unsure where to start looking for this type of poison, consider using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homedepot.com\/p\/d-CON-8-oz-Rat-and-Mouse-Loose-Bait-Pellet-Bags-19200-99875\/321963303?source=shoppingads&amp;locale=en-US\">d-CON bait pellets<\/a> for your rat problem. d-CON poison uses cholecalciferol as its active ingredient to kill rats and mice.<\/p>\n<p>Cholecalciferol, also called activated vitamin D3, contains compounds that cause high calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. This causes rats to develop\u00a0hypercalcemia \u2014 a condition where the calcium level is raised to such a degree that it damages the stomach, kidneys, lungs, blood vessels, and heart. It will kill rats within a week of ingestion.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-zinc-or-metal-phosphides\">Zinc or Metal Phosphides<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/npic.orst.edu\/factsheets\/znpgen.html#:~:text=Zinc%20phosphide%20is%20an%20inorganic,is%20a%20very%20toxic%20gas.\">According to the National Pesticide Information Center<\/a>, Zinc phosphide is primarily used in rodenticide baits. When a rat eats the bait, the acid in its stomach turns the zinc phosphide into phosphine gas, which is a toxic gas that can kill the rodent within a few days. However, this option is very poisonous to pets and people, so use caution.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-694210288.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net\/dom43635\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/iStock-694210288.jpg\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"\"\/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alternatives-to-rat-poison\">Alternatives to Rat Poison<\/h2>\n<p>Rat poisons are normally toxic to children and pets, so it\u2019s best to keep them out of reach. Still, if you want to opt for a safer method of getting rid of rats, consider the following non-toxic options:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-box-traps\">Box Traps<\/h3>\n<p>Box traps\u00a0are designed to catch a rat without injuring it, making it great for homeowners who want to treat all animals humanely.\u00a0To use it, just place rat bait in the trap and wait. When the rat enters, it will knock over the support for the door and trap itself inside. Then, you can carry the trap to a remote location and release the rat.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-snap-traps\">Snap Traps<\/h3>\n<p>Spring traps\u00a0are the most traditional and reusable option, although they\u2019re mostly used on smaller rodents like mice. Still, a properly sprung trap will kill a rat instantly. Look for metal or heavy-duty plastic traps since these are easy to clean and reuse.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-electrocuting-traps\">Electrocuting Traps<\/h3>\n<p>These traps may be a bit more expensive than other methods, but they kill rodents quickly.\u00a0Electrocuting traps deliver a high-voltage shock that eliminates rodents in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-glue-traps\">Glue Traps<\/h3>\n<p>Also called \u201csticky traps,\u201d\u00a0glue traps\u00a0are a popular alternative for getting rid of mice and rats. Rodents become trapped in a glue-like substance, leaving them unable to escape.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-legal-to-buy-rat-poison\">Is it Legal to Buy Rat Poison?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s legal to buy rat poison, but not every kind. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/safepestcontrol\/mouse-and-rat-poisons-pellet-form-banned#:~:text=All%20rodenticide%20bait%20products%20marketed,1%20pound%20of%20rodenticide%20bait.\">According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency<\/a>, all mouse and rat bait pellets are banned. There are also strict guidelines for purchasing residential rat poison or rodent baits. <\/p>\n<p>For example, the EPA states, <em>\u201cAll rodenticide bait products marketed to residential consumers must be sold as a block or paste bait, packaged with an EPA-approved bait station.\u201d<\/em> They go on to say, <em>\u201cProducts marketed to residential consumers may contain no more than one pound of rodenticide bait.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This likely won\u2019t affect many homeowners, but be cautious to only purchase approved forms of rat poison.<\/p>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-dispose-of-dead-rats\">How To Dispose of Dead Rats<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to get rid of a dead rodent as soon as possible because it can transmit a number of diseases to humans.
