I will stick with RAT-X as I’ve used it for decades. Most people do not like the fact a dead rat is in your attic/walls/crawl space but if you examine the dead rat it’s just a dried up rat that has no odor.
TOM CAT on the other hand is a poison that kills the rat and leaves it to rot. The TC killed rat if eaten will poison that animal. X is not a poison and only effects rats stomachs. It is used in food processing plants.
Almost every home in the neighborhood has rat control service. This is a major problem in the area.

Re: Rats!
It’s been a little more than a month and I can now report no rats. I don’t think I ever had rats but instead mice. It took a long time and multiple feedings to finally kill the mice. Little Girl has not stalked the suspect area in several days.

Re: Rats!
This is what I did. For mice, Rats you will to bigger. Mice- get a piece of 1 1/2 in plastic pipe. 1- 1 1/2 tee, 1- 1 1/2 cap, 12 in 8x32 threaded rod, nuts and washers 8x32, rat and mouse poison blocks. Cut 2 pcs of pipe, 3in long, cut 1 piece 12 in ling. No glue needed. Put the short pices in the tee. Put the long piece in the top of the tee. Drill a hole in the cap. Put the rod in the hole, put on a washer and nit. Put the poison blocks on the rod, put a washer and not on the rod. Put the rod into the long pipe. As the rats/mice/voles eat the blocks from the bottom, they will slide down the rod. Put a stake in the ground, tie the pipes to the stake.
