Feracol Striker 18g – for possum and rat control

Save yourself time and effort with this ready-to-use product. Feracol Strikers control possums and rats with minimal effect on birds – they’re often used where it’s highly important that birdlife is not affected.

NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using Feracol in urban environments as Cholecalciferol is highly toxic to dogs.

    • Take extreme care when using Feracol around domestic pets
    • Dogs and cats must not enter areas where Feracol is used – they are very susceptible to cholecalciferol

One Feracol Striker = 18g of Ferafeed 213 non-toxic paste with Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) added. This sits in a biodegradable, potato starch bait station on a weatherproof card.

Use Feracol Strikers in one-off or short-term pest control situations where you don’t need permanent bait stations. They’re easy to use – just staple them onto trees or suitable posts.

For more options, see our range of possum control and rodent control products.

Active ingredient

  • Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) – 8g/kg. This is a naturally occurring, biodegradable substance which becomes toxic in high doses.

Features

  • Controls possums and rats – one Feracol Striker kills one possum or 4-5 rats (depending on size)
  • Weatherproof – Strikers are dipped in wax
  •  Biodegradable – after animals tamper with the Striker, it starts to degrade and completely breaks down in the field over a few weeks. Clean up may not be necessary.
  • Labelled with appropriate bait station warnings – on cardboard backing
  • No Controlled Substance Licence (CSL) required
  • Ideal for farmers, orchardists, and lifestyle block owners

Environmental impact

Safety Data Sheet

How to use Feracol Strikers

What are Feracol Strikers?

Feracol strikers contain 18g of Feracol Paste in a biodegradable bait station, with relevant warnings printed. Feracol is a high‑quality, cost‑effective toxic paste bait used to control both possums and rats. It is highly palatable to target species and designed for use in permanent bait stations or Feracol Bio Bag bait stations.

What is the active ingredient in Feracol?

Feracol contains Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) at 8 g/kg. Cholecalciferol is a naturally occurring, biodegradable substance that becomes toxic when consumed in high doses.

Why choose Feracol over other toxic baits?

Feracol offers several advantages:

  • Controls possums and rats with one product – highly palatable to both species
  • Minimal risk to birds, making it suitable for sensitive conservation areas
  • Water‑resistant paste that performs well in varied conditions
  • No Controlled Substance Licence (CSL) required
  • Low risk of bait caching, as the paste encourages feeding at the bait station
  • Biodegradable with minimal environmental residue

Is Feracol safe for native birds?

Yes. Feracol poses minimal risk to birds and is often chosen for operations where protecting birdlife is a high priority.

Can Feracol be used in urban environments?

No. Feracol is not recommended for urban use. Cholecalciferol is highly toxic to dogs, and urban environments pose a much higher risk of accidental exposure.

What precautions should I take around domestic pets?

Extreme care is required:

  • Dogs and cats must not enter areas where Feracol is used
  • Both species are highly susceptible to cholecalciferol poisoning
  • Ensure bait stations are secure, clearly marked, and inaccessible to pets

How do I use Feracol paste?

Feracol can be used in permanent bait stations, Feracol Bio Bag bait stations for lightweight, biodegradable deployment, or if you prefer a ready‑to‑use option, consider Feracol Strikers.

Who typically uses Feracol?

Feracol is ideal for farmers, orchardists, lifestyle block owners and conservation groups and pest control professionals.

Does Feracol cause secondary poisoning?

Feracol has minimal risk of secondary poisoning, making it suitable for areas where scavenging species or domestic animals may be present.

Is Feracol environmentally friendly?

Yes. Feracol is biodegradable, leaves no lasting toxic residues and is designed to minimise impacts on non‑target species.

Does Feracol require a Controlled Substance Licence (CSL)?

No. Feracol does not require a CSL, making it easier to deploy for landowners and operators.
