Instead of black mouse droppings we now have beige coloured mouse droppings. Followed the instructions & 7 days later all the bait is eaten from the station. Clearly the mice are having a lovely time being fed indoors. Do not waste your money on this product. The overwhelming number of negative reviews show nice idea, none of us want to kill other animals up the food chain but what a waste of $$$ and time Show details

Ratsak is a Useless product – Mice keep eating it night after night with N0 reduction in numbers after using 3 boxes. Just wasted lots of money and time on free mice food! Show details

Useless – I have tried this and given it time but am convinced there is an ingredient in it that the rodents dont like. I live rural and we get lots of rats and mice. I can put this stuff out where I know there are lots of rats and mice and it doesn't get touched. Night after night its left alone. I then put out some wax blocks from another brand right next… Read more

to the box of Ratsak. By morning both blocks were demolished. The Ratsak was untouched. Have repeated this several times with the same result. Its a waste of money. They need to change whatever is in it to attract the mice and rats or do some testing on the ingredients because whatever it is actually deters them from eating it. A tip for others with Rats in your roof area, ceiling. You do not want to kill them there. They will smell like death for weeks and be sickening. Get the cheapest insect surface spray from any supermarket. Do not get odourless, no way,that will be pointless. Get the smelliest one you can, the cheapest the smellier. Go for home brand types. Up in your roof trap lift it and spray at least half the can. Full the best. Hey, what's a few bucks! Do it a couple of times a week. Rats hate it. It won't kill them but will make them exit stage right! Keep it up for a couple of weeks with baits outside. They will leave. Try, it works. Done it for years and swear by it.

fingers crossed - so far so good! – It was about 6 weeks when they appeared. Two little mice exploring my kitchen area and some times venturing alarmingly toward the lounge room. I freaked out.. nearly had a breakdown. They kept on coming on a nightly basis and I had to literally chase them away. My kitchen is spotlessly clean and I mop the floor after I do my cooking or meal… Read more

preparation. I despaired. Then, I saw your product. I didn't really believe that they rodents would be able to chew through the cover and eat the pellets which are definitely too large for them (they're not rats). so by using a broom stick I slowly beat the envelope until the pellets broke into smaller particles... I emptied some ratsak in three different areas of the kitchen. I saw them carefully approaching the smashed pellets, smelling them and finally beginning to eat them... This process was repeated for three nights.. all I did was to gather the ratsak together in a neat square formation so I could se if they step on it and ate anything while I was asleep or away. They did! After the third night they disappeared, it has been 10 nights since the grand exit took place. I don't believe my luck. I still leave the product there using the square formation method. No sign of them. I gave you 4 instead of 5 stars. I am going to wait a bit more to see how it goes. Actually, I am so happy now that I wouldn't mind if they left me alone for such a long period. I know how to defend myself now, THANK YOU RATSAK!

Kills mice – Works for pets and strays: 30.06.16 our pet mouse "Mr. Assassin" unknowingly escaped. I wasn't too concerned when I found out, as he had recently murdered one of my other mice. 01.07.16 I was cleaning out all the cages and the missing mouse ran up to my foot to say "hello" I picked him up and put him in his freshly cleaned tank. That's when… Read more

I noticed he had the green poop and said "oops you found the ratsak you silly boy, kills rats and mice in one feed.

I thought this beastly mouse had eaten ratsak and recovered as he was running riot through his tank trying escape like a lunatic all time.

06.07.16 was sluggish and died around 1pm

Final review: definitely works. Just takes around 7 days to actually kill them (it definitely interrupts the breeding cycle). It took about week to wipe out a family of strays I had earlier this year. Place it away from animals and children.

I ended up putting a throw bag behind the stove and microwave where I was finding a majority of droppings.

IT DOES NOT KILL OUR RATS – I have been putting out Ratsak double strength pellets daily now for months and the pellets still disappear each night. Why isn't it killing them? The rats have also eaten most of our tomatoes so I've had to pull the plants out. Isn't there anything stronger to kill them? Show details

This is now my go to rodent killer – I bought some natural ratsak as I was concerned about secondary deaths to natives and my chooks. It’s worked a treat. It’s been 3 weeks now and there are no rats in sight and the 2 dead ones we found were dry and not very smelly. Brilliant product Show details

Worked Really Great! – Only read the negative reviews after I bought the stuff and immediately thought waste of money and time. I had three rats at a time picnicking openly on my garden bed. I had used the Ratsak for a couple of days and the rats were eating it with apparent minimal effect so I ordered some reputedly stronger stuff online. Couple of days later the… Read more

Ratsak took effect and in no time at all no sign of rats! No need to use the other product. I don't know what the other guys were doing but I have no complaints whatsoever. This stuff really kicks rodent a*s.

RUBBISH! – This simply does NOT WORK even on mice. We have been feeding the mice with this junk for about three weeks now and they are still gobbling it up by the jam jar lid full EVERY NIGHT!!!! This is utter rubbish and a complete FRAUD! DO NOT BY IT. I wish I could give ZERO STARS! Show details

I'm just feeding the rats – Have been using this for a two weeks now. The beasties are eating it. One under the spa bath eats up to row a night so much so nearly whole box has been eaten by what I'm thinking is one creature. It's still shitting and weeing in the bathroom. How can it still be healthy. Let alone the other station I've set up for the creatures behind the hot… Read more

water system. I've no hope if nearly a box doesn't even put a stagger on these invincible critters. Where to from here?

Terrible product, don’t waste your money – Absolute waste of money, it’s really just rat food. IT DOES NOT WORK! I’m quite sure we have just one rat visiting us. I brought Ratsak as a last resort as we just can not catch this rat, but he’s been very happy with my purchase of Ratsak and has eaten the entire packet and continues to crap everywhere and chew my belongings. Show details

Mice eat this stuff like they're potato crisps ! – Not a cheap product but I was ready to spend anything for some peace - no such luck!!! The mice love this stuff so much they are gobbling it up by the tin full every night and even climbed to the top of the laundry cupboard to eat their way into the box. As I'm writing this one just strolled past the kitchen door to take a pellet and wandered back to its home with afternoon snacks for the family - SQUEAK !!! Show details

He's a BIG fan – The mouse living in my unit is in LOVE with this product... I can get him to give you a first hand account if you want, as he is still VERY much alive. In fact since this has become his main diet, he's happier, healthier, and chubbier than ever! In less than a week, he's gone from smol baby, to being TOO BIG and TOO CHUBBY to actually fit in… Read more

the otherwise legitimately effective traps I have laying around my place! He's lucky to have you, Ratsak.

So on his behalf, I'll give your product 4 healthy mouse thumbs up.

What a Joke. Do not buy this or Ratsak Naturals – Several Rats in the garden and ceiling. Had camera to detect. So far 9 x 450g Ratsak Naturals. Absolutely no effect on the Rats. Now onto our 3rd large box of Ratsak double strength. Same rats seen on camera coming out and wolfing down the product. Hundreds of dollars spent for 0 result. Show details

Makes Rats Fat - and that is all – I bought this Ratsak because either mice or rats were eating our peaches. i waited until peach season finished, then started putting out the poison (as they were far too interested in the juicy peaches to look at the poison initially). Poison was then being eaten every day by the hand full. After a few days i found a couple of dead mice (not… Read more

rats) so I thought my troubles were over. But poison still was getting eaten every night. I started getting so sick of this that I bought an infrared camera to find out what was going on. After weeks of monitoring, I noticed that every night the same 2 rats were coming and eating the poison. Their behaviour was quite habitual. Now, if I had eaten as much poison as these rats had done, I would be 6 feet underground in a cemetery, but these rats just LOVED the stuff. Thrived on it! Got bigger and fatter and after a few weeks they even seemed to be faster. I should add that I also went through a pack of Ratsak Fast Action with which just 4 grams is meant to kill a rat. Well they just woofed that down like it was chocolate and came back night after night for more. I ended up using a cheap wooden trap and sticking some of the Ratsak down onto it and finally had success by snapping it in the trap. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY with this crap. The rats LOVE it and it does NOT kill them, even after many weeks of nightly feasts. It possibly kills mice, but if you have a rat problem, you may as well open up your toilet and put your wallet in there and flush it instead of using Ratsak.

Useless – Have been using double strength ratsak for around 6 weeks now. And have produced no results. It's like a food cart for them. They must be loving it, probably inviting their neighbours over for a free feed Show details

Mice love it, but does nothing – Had a large mouse hanging around the house. I set up some feeding stations and it ate from one of them every night for 4-5 days, it consumed ~150grams. Ended up setting a trap where the bait station was and trapped it that night! Useless stuff! Show details

Ratsak perfect family rat family favourite – Im on my third 1kg box of RATSAK. The last being fast action. And if im honest I sid find one dead rat.. but I think it died of obesity. Every morning it looks like there's been a rat party .. bait spread everywhere. Droppings everywhere.. and its getting worse since I started the RATSAK..I've gone from the odd dropping to vacumming everymorning… Read more

more than I wish to count.. bunnings should remove it from the shelf.. its misleading and just false.. rats love this stuff..

Worst decision of my entire life and I’ve made some doozies – I put this poison out for 2 weeks. Each day I would watch the rats eat it whilst they eyed me patronisingly. Not only did this “poison” not harm them, it seemed to make them stronger and smarter. One particular rat, I call him Señor Squeak got totally jacked, met his wife and raised a healthy family of 12 all while using this to fuel his consumerist lifestyle.  Show details

No use,time and money waste – Bought this after trying few other products with a hope that this will work. But result of this is same as other tried products. No impact on rats, they were still dancing in my courtyard. I wait for a week to see if there were any outcome but no luck. Show details

SAFER ALTERNATIVE – I used this product, until I found out what it does. The rats don't die quickly and pain free, they can take up 2 to 7 days suffering by bleeding internally before dying. If our pets or wildlife then eat them, they to can be poisoned and die a painful death. There are safer alternatives. Show details
