D-Block Extreme
D-Block Extreme hard block bait - for rat control
Controlling rats in damp or humid environments, either indoors or outdoors? Go one step further with D-Block Extreme – a version of D-Block hard block baits that are uniquely coated to extend their field life.
D-Block Extreme’s active ingredient is Diphacinone – a first-generation anticoagulant. The low risk of secondary poisoning from first-generation anticoagulants makes them a great choice for farm situations and the environmentally conscious.
Use D-Block Extreme in bait stations for rats like our Run Through, Zig Zag, and Tunnel stations.

Super tasty – rats prefer fresh grains and nuts to wax (we've sacrificed a longer shelf life to achieve this)
- Low risk of secondary poisoning – its short half-life* compares favourably to other toxins
- Prevents target animals hiding and storing bait (bait caching) – each block has a hole which lets you secure it onto internal bait station spikes (or wire, nail or tie in place)
- Used by experts – the Department of Conservation and other leading conservationists and pest controllers
- Antidote is readily available – Vitamin K
- No Controlled Substance Licence (CSL) required
