CyKill Rodenticide Bait by Neogen – Effective Rodent Control (4 lb)

Overview

Neogen’s CyKill Rodenticide Bait delivers targeted, broad‑spectrum control of common rodents found in homes, farms, and perimeters. Formulated with Bromethalin (0.01%), CyKill is designed to address Norway rats, roof rats, house mice, and meadow voles, along with several other rodent species listed on the label. The product is suitable for professional use and informed homeowners seeking a proactive solution to persistent rodent activity.

Key benefits

• Contains Bromethalin (0.01%) for potent, rapid‑action control.
• Broad species coverage including Norway rats, roof rats, house mice, and meadow voles.
• Active against anticoagulant‑resistant rodents, offering an alternative mechanism where resistance is observed.
• Bait stations (sold separately) are mandatory for outdoor, above‑ground use to reduce exposure to non‑targets; tamper‑resistant stations are recommended if children, pets, or wildlife may access the bait.

Usage guidelines by pest

RATS: Place 1 to 6 ounces of bait per placement. Space placements at 15 to 30 feet in infested areas. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 10 days or until there are no longer signs of new feeding by rats. In many cases, Norway rats, roof rats, and house mice may consume a lethal dose in a single night’s feeding, but it may take two or more days from time of bait consumption for them to die.

• Space 15–30 feet apart to cover the infested area effectively.
• Keep bait fresh and protected from moisture or direct sun.
• Outdoor applications should use tamper‑resistant stations when access by non‑targets is a concern.

MICE AND MEADOW VOLES: Apply ¼ to ½ ounces (1–2 level tablespoons) of bait at each placement location. Space placements at 8 to 12‑foot intervals. Larger placements (up to 2 ounces) may be needed at points of very high house mouse activity. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 15 days or until there are no longer signs of new feeding by mice or meadow voles.

• Distribute smaller portions along known runways and problem zones.
• Adjust placement size based on activity, up to 2 ounces in high activity areas.
• Ensure bait remains accessible and fresh over the control period.

Burrow baiting and safety considerations

Burrow baiting may be used for active burrows to control Norway rats and roof rats within or beyond 100 feet of structures. Remove nearby food sources, trash, and clutter to help bait performance. Bait must be placed no less than 6 inches into active burrows.

• Follow the label’s directions and federal law for outdoor use.
• Bait stations are mandatory for outdoor use; tamper‑resistant stations enhance safety where needed.
• Not permitted for use against certain species in California, including cotton rat, eastern harvest mouse, golden mouse, Polynesian rat, white‑throated woodrat, southern plains woodrat, Mexican woodrat, and meadow vole.

Safety and compliance

CyKill contains Bromethalin (0.01%) and should be used in accordance with the product labeling. The label emphasizes safe handling, proper station use, and adherence to restrictions for California listed species. Always apply the product exactly as described to avoid improper use and to protect non‑targets.
