Roshield External Tamper Proof Rodent Bait Box & Wax Block Rat Poison Kit - Garden & Home Treatment Killer Safety Kit (2 Boxes & 300g Blocks)

The Roshield box provides a secure container for the poison blocks, making it very difficult for the rodent to remove the bait and greatly reducing the likelihood of a significant quantity of the poison being picked up by other animals, provided that the instructions are followed. A simple but effective locking system prevents the box from being opened by unauthorised persons or dogs. The red bait blocks are effective once the rodent has accepted the setup which can take a few days. I have always found this system to be effective against rats. I always continue to bait the box until no more is taken for a week, then check monthly. Rats are never far away and will revisit old runs in their constant search for food. I recommend this Roshield kit without any reservation. Unchecked rat populations are a serious threat to health.

I used Roshield blocks during autumn-winter when we had to battle uncontrolled infestation from neighbours loft spreading to our loft. Observations within a week: Day 1-2 rats where munching bite, but still we're active during night. Day 3-5 intensity of running and scratching went down quite alot, squeaking increased. Day 6-7 barely any noise coming from loft, few desperate squeaks and no problems since then. Not sure if there's anything left over in bait box, but no activity since then. Comparing to Big Name competitors on market, worked quickly and efficiently and main point it WORKED. Chemicals are different to Big Name and results are ways better, and price is cheaper. Picture might differ from what you get. There are 2 packs of bait on picture, but you get only 1. More then enough to refill stations for round 2, but I doubt you will need to. Bait boxes are easy to set up, might be a bit tricky to open lock mechanism. Put key in and turn for tiny bit, allowing it to spread latches and release the lid. But once locked is feels very secure. Sad part - we got another infestation in garage this time and rats were seen coming from neighbours... Good part - we have product that worked and left us happy last time!

Very good overall. The bait boxes feel sturdy and the kit was easy to set up. It worked effectively and dealt with quite a few rats in a short period of time. For the price, I found it to be a practical and effective solution.

This has proved to be such a good purchase, it was easy to put together and within its first few weeks of being in our loft has proved it's worth by eliminating any rodents. Well recommended.

My original reviews said that bait box was tricky to open and there is definitely a knack to it but now that I know how it is quite straightforward. I placed my two boxes in sheltered spots on the perimeter of my garden and something has definitely been eating the bait so hopefully the bait has done the trick. Hopefully this will deter any rodents from trying to gain access to my house.

Very impressed with this product definitely recommend.Had a problem under our play house last summer . Only saw one rat coming and going under the house . Got council out £30 they used the same bait boxes and they took it straight away and didn’t see anything after that . Then this summer seen another small rat which looked like a young one . So decided to buy our own boxes £16.99 so I can keep them out and hopefully keep them from breeding . Wednesday night put the bait boxes out . Thursday more found the rat dead on the wall . So very quick . Well impressed and gives me peace of mind has this rat was coming out into the garden when the grandchildren were playing 🙈. ( ours weren’t pre loaded so advice to get some strong gloves to handle the bait .

The boxes are good, but there was no bait in the package as photographed and described, so I had to buy it separately.

I am a VERY SATISFIED AND STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT, I need to caveat this with a complete disclaimer that I AM NOT COMPLAINING NOR SUGGESTING BAD OR MAL PRACTICE. I AM MERELY POINTING OUT (admittedly in a long winded description) A NIGHTMARE SCENARIO THAT HAUNTS ME, AND SEEMS SO EASY TO IRRADICATE. Or at least consider approaches in which this could not occur. This pack of three is well made and presented. Being of a H&S background, I know I approach matters like these boxes, and moreover its bait, with reserved probably excessive caution. I always make a point of reading all words before engaging in the process concerned. I believe that if you do not read the instructions and guidance for such a product before using, you COULD not WOULD put yourself or others, including pets at risk. This does not mean that the retailer has made a mistake, or is negligent, it is merely, that in my opinion, I believe that this product and the way it was delivered, “contains operational requirements that must be fully understood before engaging in, or opening of, any item relevant before installation “. By so suggesting, I am inferring that a great product can be delivered and installed in a much greater and customer aware environment. I have no idea what the uk rules are for poison in transit, or, for that matter, if this cocktail is classed as a poison, but, I was however surprised, that it was delivered in a plain, cardboard box with no exterior warning signage about its contents, anywhere. There is, like explosives in transit, an argument to have, concerning raising unnecessary awareness to products in safe transit. But, that really is for product mostly only accessible to military or government linked organisations. Whilst mine was intact and no cause for concern, transitory damage to products is always possible, I always consider the “what if” scenarios. If this box was damaged in transit, in the manner in which it was delivered to me,what could happen? The bagged bait would fall out of the box but still contained in its thick “retail” type packaging. Could the bagged bait scatter? Yes. If the bag was subject to an impact capable of inducing pressure of great enough force causing bursting of a sealed plastic bag. (Stood on) (The bait is sealed in a thick plastic bag equivalent in size of a bag of boiled sweets or large packet of crisps) - Likelihood medium. Outcomes, ingested by persons unknown, risk small, Reactions negative due to ingredient designed to taste humanly disgusting. To domestic pets or livestock however, it is not clear by written content that the same taste reaction would occur, but vetinarian advice is written and must be sought. I have a medium to large sized dog that eats first and rejects last. I am not convinced she would reject the bait due to its designed bitter taste. The odour of the bait I admit I found to be surprisingly pleasant! Something I wasn’t expecting. The bait is not an appetising shape or colour and certainly presents that it is NOT for human consumption. Although, I was surprised that none of the package nor the bait itself contained embossing in Braille as do bottles of methylated spirits, turpentine etc., I believe the bags of and bait could easily accommodate this, as too the bait boxes. However, if it is not a requirement, then why should they? but sometimes it’s just good practice to go the extra mile. The bait bags are not in a conspicuous colour. Eg, dayglo to “stand out” and look wrong in a domestic environment. Especially if you use reading spectacles. The following is, a non-proven domestic delivery scenario, but again, possible and based solely on how my purchase was presented to me: “The box, once delivered, but not externally marked as to its contents, is put to one side and forgotten about with other such online deliveries. None are labelled as to their contents. On returning home from school, a child eagerly awaiting a delivery of their own, asks of they can open the boxes to see whether their item is one of them. Not knowing about the delivery contents and forgetting that their partner had ordered some rat bait kits, happily permits the child to opening of everything. On realising the contents of one of the deliveries is not theirs, the child leaves the contents of the now ripped open box half in and half out. One of the bait bags, not immediately identifiable as such, and certainly not if reading glasses or equivalent are required, slowly moves out of balance and falls from the table to the floor. On returning home from food shopping, using recycled plastic bags, one of them decides to expire just as they enter the house. Contents liberally scatter everywhere, but thankfully it was only the cans, crisps and sweets bag, nothing damaged. Scooping up everything that was found to have fallen out, including a bag that had slightly travelled further than the rest, all the crisp bags are put where they normally are in the cupboard drawer. Later that evening, someone in the family fancies a snack and picks out a heavier than usual packet of crisps...” Okay, this is all hypothetical, and probably over dramatised, but all I am saying is that that scenario COULD have happened with the contents of my actual delivery in a busy hypothetical family setting. But, with a few tweaks by the manufacturers, and possibly the retailers too, such a nightmare scenario can be eradicated from the “COULD” pile to the “NEVER”. They don’t have to do it, they haven’t, as far as I am aware, broken any regulations, laws etc., It’s just that when it comes to poisons or the equivalent, in a domestic environment, I get all prickly, and overly protective. My suggestions: Consider: Using a suitable HAZMat or COSHH labelling on exterior of transitory delivery box including emergency contact details. Further sealing each already pre-sealed bait bag in a further conspicuously labelled and aerated / perforated nylon type bag that, in the event of crushing in transit, would capture loose bait from pressure burst bait bags and prevent accidental distribution in transit. Perhaps a further, larger nylon type bag holds all bait contents as described above as well, so a fail-safe catch all? Wherever cautionary notices are displayed, Braille approved and text pictograms suitable for partially sighted persons are considered and used where reasonably practicable. Dayglo fluorescent or equivalent conspicuous colours are used wherever bait or equivalent hazards are in transit or unused storage and would be immediately identifiable as not a domestic product or consumable item. In other words, stick out like a sore thumb! Place a greater more readily internationally identifiable pictogram on the bait box in largest size possible. Provide complimentary disposable gloves with each bait bag purchased, further labelled dispose after use, do not reuse etc. Request manufacturer of bait to consider pre-drilling of loading hole for placement as required on provided metal kebab stick Request Bait box manufacturer to consider, as optional extra, external fixable shrouds or tunnels to prevent domestic animal intrusion from oral (licking) or claw scratching at loose bait within the housing unit. If purchased by a household in domestic environment, in a modern premise, bits of bricks, stones, metal etc., are not readily available nor necessarily considered, as part of the placement of the bait boxes for rodent eradication, and without such, the apertures are wide enough for such ingress from animals not intended to be dosed, and children exploring with digital interference. Provide greater advice as how to, and where to, fix the bait box, and what to fix it with. | suggest optional kit purchase. Provide domestic signs, window stickers etc. To place on windows or doors adjacent to where boxes are laid, including type and antidote procedures/ Show this to emergency services etc. Warn customer that flakes and crumbs of bait block will fall in preparation and must be carefully and safely disposed of, as too any bait bags or packaging. There is nothing to suggest this has happened , ever. I just like to advise where oversights I see that can be easily rectified for the preservation of life or injury prevention, would make the world of a difference. This kit is a superb price, Made in UK, and of high integrity, it just needs a bit of a PR kit when it comes to its use in a domestic not industrial or commercial environment. Buy with confidence and call them too. I unreservedly reccomend this product.
