Stoat toxin
Control stoats and other mustelids (ferrets and weasels) more effectively and humanely with our practical and innovative stoat toxin.
A more environmentally friendly approach to stoat control, our stoat toxin provides a much lower risk of secondary poisoning for non-target species.
For a double hit, our stoat toxin also targets feral cats and only needs one dose to do the job – making pest control more cost-effective. Plus, it’s faster-acting which means a more humane result.
Important: You need a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL)
You need a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL) to buy, store, and use these products. We must sight and record the details of your CSL (and in some situations, your Approved Handler Certificate) before you buy.

How to use our stoat toxin
Our stoat toxin is designed to be inserted into mincemeat balls which are placed in fixed bait stations. Prefeed with mincemeat balls in bait stations.
Refer to the best practice document for more information on how to use the stoat toxin.
Start by monitoring. Chew cards and tracking tunnels show which pests are present from their bite marks or footprints, so you don’t spend time and money controlling the wrong pest.
Traps are toxin-free and suit smaller areas, or places where pets and children are around. Toxins in bait stations cover larger areas more efficiently. Many programmes get the best results by using both.
Some toxins require a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL), and these are clearly marked on the product page. We must sight and record your licence before sale. Traps, lures, monitoring tools and many baits don’t need one.
Pests tend to travel along edges, so place them where you’ve seen signs of activity, such as fence lines, bush edges, tracks, streams and sheltered spots near food sources. Keep them out of reach of children, pets and livestock.
Prefeeding means putting out non-toxic bait before introducing toxin. It gets pests used to the taste and location, so they keep coming back, and that makes your control much more effective.
Check them regularly. Remove catches promptly, refresh bait and lures, and look for damage or debris that could stop them working.
When used correctly, following the label and Safety Data Sheet, our products are designed to keep the risk to native species and non-target animals low. Always use toxins in bait stations, display warning signs where required, and keep pets and livestock away from treated areas.
