FirstStrike® Soft Bait – 5.5 kg

FirstStrike® Soft Bait is a premium, highly palatable rodenticide designed for rapid control of rats and mice in challenging environments. Formulated as a moist, ready-to-use soft bait sachet, FirstStrike uses the powerful second-generation anticoagulant difethialone to deliver single-feed lethality with outstanding bait acceptance.

Soft baits are favoured by professionals for their exceptional palatability, especially where competing food sources are present (grain stores, feed areas, machinery sheds, commercial buildings). FirstStrike maintains consistency in cold weather and performs extremely well in both rural and commercial pest-control setups.

Key Features

• Difethialone active (0.0025%) – one of the most potent SGAR rodenticides available.
• Soft, moist bait formulation with very high acceptance rates.
• Single-feed effectiveness for fast knockdown of infestations.
• Excellent performance in cold conditions where block baits may be ignored.
• Ideal for use inside Philproof® tamper-proof bait stations.
• Suitable for farms, warehouses, commercial sites, food premises and lifestyle properties.

How FirstStrike Works

FirstStrike uses difethialone, a highly potent second-generation anticoagulant. Once consumed, it disrupts the rodent’s ability to clot blood, resulting in death within 3–5 days. The delayed action reduces bait shyness and allows for a more complete rodent clean-out.

Soft baits are typically consumed more readily than wax blocks, making them ideal for properties with alternative food sources such as grain, feed, pet food, stock food, crops or rubbish around buildings.

Recommended Uses

• Agricultural and farm environments
• Feed sheds, barns and machinery sheds
• Commercial and industrial buildings
• Urban rodent issues where competition from other food is high
• Cold environments where wax blocks perform poorly
