Surefire Broma Blocks Rat & Mouse Bait is a wax-block rodenticide containing 0.05 g/kg bromadiolone for controlling rats and mice, including populations resistant to other anticoagulants. Use in permitted building locations according to the product label and current APVMA instructions.
Choose from 150 g and 1 kg pouches or 2.4 kg and 8 kg buckets. The blocks contain denatonium benzoate (Bitrex), a bittering agent intended to discourage accidental human consumption. This does not make the bait safe for children, pets or wildlife.

How to use
Read the label and the current APVMA instructions supplied with the product before use. The following is a summary, not a replacement for those instructions.
- Rats: Place at least 4 blocks in each bait station; keep stations no more than 9 m apart.
- Mice: Use 2–4 blocks per infested area in bait stations no more than 3 m apart. Do not bait outdoors for mice.
- Remove competing food sources where practicable. Check stations daily and replenish consumed or spoiled bait.
- Use lockable, tamper-resistant stations. Permitted outdoor rat baiting requires a weather-resistant station secured in position within 2 m of a building.
- Do not place bait in crops, exposed areas or directly into burrows.
- Reassess the infestation and treatment effectiveness before continuing beyond 35 consecutive days.
Handling and storage
Keep away from children, pets, poultry, livestock, wildlife, food, animal feed and waterways. Follow all protective-equipment instructions, including the current requirement for disposable gloves when handling bait, stations or carcasses. Check for dead rodents and slugs/snails at each visit and dispose of them and unwanted bait according to the supplied instructions and local requirements.

Can I put the blocks down loose?
No. PCT specifies lockable bait stations. Use a suitable tamper-resistant station and follow the placement restrictions supplied with the product.
