The main difference is the formulation: the Canadian products referenced here use diphacinone (Tomcat), bromadiolone (Hawk), brodifacoum (Jaguar50) and bromethalin (Rampage Water-Resistant Blox). A brand name alone does not tell you where a product may be used or who may use it.
Start with the exact Canadian label, then compare the package and equipment. This guide helps you ask the right questions; it is not an application-rate or bait-placement guide.

What the differences mean when comparing products
Tomcat: Motomco describes the cited diphacinone formulation as a multiple-feed bait. Tomcat is also used as a brand for other products, so check the active ingredient rather than relying on the name or pail colour.
Hawk: the cited Canadian formulation contains bromadiolone. Its Canadian specimen label specifies agricultural buildings and structures. Do not extend a site's permitted uses from a different product or a US listing.
Jaguar: Motomco's Canadian reference is Jaguar50 Bait Chunx, containing brodifacoum. Match the registration reference as well as the name when requesting documentation.
Rampage: the Canadian product page describes Water-Resistant Blox with bromethalin. This is a different active ingredient and format; it is not interchangeable with anticoagulant instructions.
“Single-feed” is not a promise of immediate elimination. The amount consumed, access to alternative food and the wider control programme can affect results. Do not select a product solely by a claim that it is stronger or faster.
Who may use a commercial rodenticide?
Health Canada's commercial rodenticide guidance identifies certified pest control operators, farmers and people authorized under government-approved pest-control programmes as permitted user groups. The exact label and applicable provincial requirements still govern the specific purchase and use. Owning a home or business does not, by itself, establish eligibility.
Read our Canadian labels and regulations guide before choosing a pesticide. If eligibility or a permitted site is unclear, ask the relevant regulator or a qualified pest-management professional.
A useful comparison starts before bait selection
- Record the problem. Note the suspected rodent, the location and evidence of activity.
- Address access and food. Review entry points, food storage, waste and clutter using our inspection checklist.
- Consider physical control. Match traps to the target rodent and follow their manufacturer instructions. Health Canada's rats and mice guide explains prevention and control options.
- Check the pesticide label. Identify the exact Canadian product, user group, pest and location before comparing pack sizes.
- Check the equipment and order. Confirm station suitability, included accessories and delivery details with our buying guide.
Bait, bait station and trap are different items
A bait station holds bait and helps limit access. A trap captures or kills the target rodent. A rodenticide is the pesticide itself. A station does not make a commercial bait suitable for every purchaser or setting. Check each item's specifications in traps and stations.
Questions to send before ordering
Include the product link, your province, property type, intended user and target rodent. Ask: “Which Canadian registration number applies to this package? Can you provide the current label? What is included, and which station specifications must I confirm?” Contact Rodenticide Canada for product documentation.
