Ditrac Blox Rodent Bait

Hey Virginia,
Ditrac Blox Rodent Bait should not typically turn into powder, as it is designed to be a solid, weatherable block bait. The distinctive cog-like shape of Ditrac Blox is made to be durable and easily fit into tight baiting places. If the bait is turning into powder, there could be several reasons:

1. Age and degradation: Over time, especially if exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures, the bait may break down.

2. Improper storage: If not stored in a cool, dry place, the bait may deteriorate faster.

3. Rodent activity: Rats and mice gnaw on the bait, which could create powder-like debris.

4. Manufacturing defect: In rare cases, there might be an issue with the production process.

If you notice your Ditrac Blox turning into powder, it's best to replace it with fresh bait. Rodenticides should be checked regularly and any partially consumed, contaminated, or spoiled bait should be replenished immediately to maintain effectiveness

Typically in a rodent infestation, what you're seeing is only a small fraction of the numbers that are hiding away. If there have been bites taken from Ditrac Blox Rodent Bait, it could be from multiple rodents. If they're eating it, they will succumb to the active ingredient and perish.
