Prefeeding – research shows it’s the key to successful control operations. That’s because target animals become familiar with the flavour and delivery method of a non-toxic prefeed before toxic baits are given in the same way.
Pre-feeding for Double Tap use is not required, however, in areas where control operations have been carried out previously, it has been found that it is beneficial to pre-feed with Double Tap prefeed pellets. In these cases, ensure that any bait stations are thoroughly cleaned to remove traces of previous bait to reduce potential bait shyness.
Double Tap Prefeed pellets are made with the same ingredients as Double Tap but without toxic ingredients, so target animals find it highly attractive at the time of prefeeding as well as, when baits are switched.
Prefeeding helps target animals recognise the flavour, trust the bait station or delivery method and return consistently to feed. This increases uptake when toxic bait is introduced.
Prefeeding is not required, but in areas with previous control operations, it can significantly improve results. Always clean bait stations thoroughly to remove old bait residues and reduce bait shyness.
It is highly palatable to possums and rats, making it ideal for multi‑species prefeeding.
Pellets are made from extruded grains, creating an easy‑to‑eat, highly attractive pellet that mimics the flavour profile of Double Tap toxic bait.
You should use pellets in bait stations that you intend to use for Double Tap pellet bait after prefeeding is complete.
Once animals are regularly visiting and feeding, replace the prefeed with Double Tap toxic bait for effective control.
Yes. It is non‑toxic, but should still be used responsibly and according to best‑practice guidelines.
Yes. Using a non‑toxic version of the same bait helps animals build confidence, reducing avoidance when toxic bait is introduced.
