– for possum control
Has your possum control operation got a problem with rats ruining the bait?
Attract possums to traps and bait stations with our Ferafeed 215 non-toxic paste prefeed. Rats find it less palatable, which gives possums more of a chance.
Research shows prefeeding is 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.
Use Ferafeed 215 non-toxic paste in permanent bait stations.
For more options, see our range of possum control products.
Place the required amount of paste in the bait station and site the bait station near areas of animal signs and close to key food or play trees and possible nesting sites. Check the bait station regularly and replace as required.
Prefeeding should be carried out before replacing with toxin, once there is evidence that your target animal is interacting with the prefeed.
Ferafeed 215 is a non‑toxic prefeed paste designed specifically for possum control operations where rats are interfering with bait. It uses a flavour profile that possums love but rats find less palatable, giving possums more opportunity to feed.
Ferafeed 215 is ideal when rats are consuming bait before possums can reach it. Its formulation is highly palatable to possums and less attractive to rats This helps ensure possums get consistent access to the bait station or trap.
Research shows prefeeding significantly increases success because possums become familiar with the flavour, learn the delivery method and return repeatedly to the same site. This means when toxic baits are introduced later, possums are far more likely to consume them.
Yes. Ferafeed 215 is non‑toxic, making it safe for prefeeding and suitable for use before introducing toxic baits.
Yes. Because rats find it less palatable, Ferafeed 215 helps ensure possums have uninterrupted access to the bait station or trap, improving overall control results.
