Talon Rat and Mouse Killer

I had some Wax Blocks left over from last year. This time, it worked even quicker. And 2 rats killed from the one pellet over 2 days. My house is quiet again. Placed under a heavy weight, it is easy to see the amount progressively eaten. As I can't find the entry hole in my 2 storey 62 year old house I am out of options other than get a cat. But I am going to do that anyway. Talon Wax Blocks = Excellent. Show details

I would like to give my experience with this product and hopefully help others with a mice or rat problem. Firstly this product worked for me. Secondly you have to eliminate other food sources in my case it was bird seed that was all they were interested in. and would not touch the bait. Once that was sorted they started on the bait although you… Read more

don't usually see them eating it as they take it away probably back to their nest. Also different brands of rat poisons use a different active ingredient they are not all the same. Check the packaging. I used the one with 0.05g/kg brodifacoum. You get 6 trays in a pack and I used 2 trays over 3 nights. Friday Saturday and Sunday and waited to see what happened. The instructions say to leave it in the tray but that didn't work to well so I tipped it on the ground which was more successful but make sure you put it where birds or pets will not get to it. On Tuesday 3 small rats were dead another small one on Wednesday and 1 larger one on Sunday morning and that's just the ones that died on my property others could have died elsewhere. Since then no more rats around so you are looking at about 3-4 days for a small one and 4-6 days for a larger one to die depending on their size and how much they eat. I hope this review has been helpful.

Useless Talon product – Guys, I bought your product yesterday, rat poison.. and it is absolutely useless and hopeless.. I was watching two of them rats avoiding the pellets, instead to get attracted to it..

Hope dangles against Talon rat pellets – I hear munching on just served Talon pellets n plan 2 dispose dead body within days but having browsed these reviews ... Im going to have sleepless, nightmare nights till success eliminating i hope the pest dies. I'm scared

Worked great for years, now useless! – Have Selleys changed the ingredients? We are an annual resort for rodents but this was never a problem with Talon blocks. This year, however, the rats & mice won't even sniff it. Even tried smearing peanut butter on the blocks to get them started; they licked it off without a sign of a nibble! I had so much faith in the product, I bought several… Read more

more packets from different suppliers. ALL with the same effect - 0% kill result. No more recommendations for Talon from me!

Scam I doubt any poison is in the bait – Purchased this in a 1 kilo container put some in various spots in the shed for 1 week no dead mice but all bait gone Then at the same time I left a lid full in a large 290ltr plastic storage box after seeing a mouse had jumped in the box & could not get out 1 day later lid was empty Mouse still running around So added more and put a small lid… Read more

full of water in box wondering if that would help? end of story is 1 week later and about 100grams eaten Mouse is fatter & still running & No dead mice anywhere in or around shed

Completely ineffective – Caught a small mouse in a box. Emptied an entire sachet of this poison into the box. 3 days later, mouse has eaten its weight's worth of poison pellets. The mouse is still alive. Can only imagine what it would be like to be trapped in a cell eating nothing but ineffective poison for 3 days straight. This has been quite an upsetting experience for… Read more

me. Also, the box leaks poison powder every time you put it down (but at least we know it doesn't work so that's not too worrying).

Don't waste your money – Rats still running around and staring me in the face 7 days after havimg taken the bait not recommended at all and a waste of money. Still looking for better option. Show details

Theft – I opened fresh box and laid it where pack of 3 rats come every evening. Watched it all through the window. Not the sniff. Not very happy with it. Clean sweep by criminals from Talon, Yates, whoever makes an sells it. Show details

Never worked – I had couple of rats in my courtyard, bought few packets of this with the confidence that it wil work. But nothing happened, i waited for days, a week and finally gave up hope. Don't waste money, just go for some other products. Show details

Wish it worked – Unfortunately for some reason mice didn't eat this product, I moved most food products that mice could eat thru but still didn't eat mice bait, really can't understand why. Oh well damn!

Can rats become immune to Talon poison? – As I own horses, rats turn up periodically in my feed shed. When I first used these pellets that has splashed across the front of the box "one feed" and sure enough the rats died. However, now they have a great feed and keep coming back for more. I see they are eating it as the scat is blue. If I forget to put it out, they raid the box and chew a hole through the box to access the pellets. I don't think it is doing a very good job anymore.

Mischief of Mice – Upon returning from a 5 week holiday I discovered a mischief of mice had made their nest in my garage, among cardboard storage boxes, and I could hear them scurrying around in the ceiling. This infestation was due to a food source they found in the garage; a box of pasta was left out. (Perhaps the mice were auditioning for a sequel Ratatouille… Read more

movie?)

I used Selleys TALON Rat & Mouse Killer as directed, placed the 25gm boxes in the roof and garage, forewarned those neighbours who had pets and within a few days they were found DEAD, away from the nest! Even when the food supply was removed these mice still had an appetite to eat this bait.

ALL cautionary information regarding this bait is printed on each individual box for your reading. There is also a note to Physicians and Vets on the package.

For those with a food source of bulk dog or chook food stored in their sheds as my good neighbours have, I recommend this product to reduce your mice problem.

Taking too long – I have used one box of pellets. Every morning there is more eaten. I thought that if I put mouse poison out, the mouse would be gone within a day or two. It's now almost a week and it's still around.

Not great – I have brought the pallets, 3 packets....... i put them around the house, around 9 boxes i open them up and left pellets at the entrance... when i went to check on them the next day most of those 9 boxes were gone. I put more out to replace them. those went i used the rest up as it seems these guys were hungry for them. all 18 packets went… Read more

within the week. However, i noticed there are more mice droppings around (after i cleaning the house). i went to buy some more used them still seeing this 1 mice and droppings.

Slack attack by me not a good idea – Have noticed rats on evening time running along top of fence again. On checking my bait stations 4 out of 5 were empty, so have recharged them again and I am sure if I have the same results as before with Talon the rats will soon be gone again. Vic L

Proven rat killer – We've been using this product for many years and have found it to be the most effective rat/mouse baits on the market. I would recommend you using containers to put the pellets in which are then nailed to floor joints etc so the rats cannot knock the pellets down where domestic pets can eat them. We prefer the pellets but have used talons other… Read more

products. Quick, effective and always reliable. Watch out for smelly dead rats though - they like to hide in difficult to reach places. Better a dead rat than a live one! It really works. Bit expensive but does the job.
