The seven presidents of the Big East's basketball-only institutions met in an undisclosed location in New York City Friday to further discuss the future of their new endeavor outside of the conference.
While none of the seven presidents were made available for comment, they did issue a statement on behalf of the group.
The statement gave some clarity on the first steps the seven schools intend to take on their journey away from the Big East.
"Earlier today, university presidents representing the seven basketball schools of the Big East met in New York to discuss our orderly evolution to a foundation of basketball schools that continues to honor the history and tradition on which the Big East was established.
We have retained the services of Proskauer Rose LLP and Pilson
Communications, Inc.
We had a very productive engagement among our group of seven and
expect that there will be ongoing discussion and conversation among
our group and our colleagues in the Big East as we continue to pursue
our evolution."
The meeting Friday was to begin discussions about the future of the new league the seven schools are seeking to create upon their departure from the Big East Conference. Said to be on the agenda were the targeted teams to join the new league's ranks; potential television deals; and their exit timeframe from the Big East.
Currently, the seven schools are being held to an exit date of June 30, 2015 -- in line with the conference's bylaws about defecting member institutions.
However, with the current climate of the Big East -- incoming football-only school Boise State decided to stay with the Mountain West Conference this week -- there is expected to be wiggle room in order to move that timeframe up.
As part of their decision to defect from the league last month, the seven schools without Division 1 football programs agreed to remain united in their progression forward as a league. In addition to agreeing to boost support for their men's basketball programs to keep the competition level elevated, they are also looking to create a national conference with college basketball at the center.
The Star-Ledger reported last month that Atlantic 10 schools Xavier, Butler, Dayton and Creighton from the Missouri Valley Conference have all been identified as potential targets for addition to a new league. Other schools like Saint Louis, VCU and George Mason could be considered as well.
Before the seven schools even defected from the rest of the Big East, mid-major powerhouse Gonzaga from the West Coast Conference expressed interest in joining the to-be-formed league. While located in Washington state, Gonzaga's national profile was said to interest the other seven schools in their search for a conference with a national basketball identity. However, with the Big East's deal to stretch across the country with Boise State and San Diego State in football falling apart in recent weeks, that could scare off the basketball schools from attempting a similar idea.
The Big East's basketball schools hope to get guidance on moving forward with the hiring of New York law firm, Proskauer Rose and Neal Pilson Communications.
Proskauer Rose is no stranger to the sporting arena.
In November, the firm's New York headquarters was the site of one of the NHL's bargaining sessions with its players association. The firm has advised the league on lockout matters during its work stoppages in 1994, 2004 and this year. The firm represents all four major sports leagues, as well as the MLS and Pac-12.
Pilson, a former president of CBS Sports, is a veteran negotiator of television rights deals. He helped negotiate the most recent TV rights deal between the International Olympic Committee and NBC, worth $2 billion. Pilson has also done deals for NASCAR, the Rose Bowl and Kentucky Derby.
"I had dealt with Neal many times, both when he was with CBS and afterwards," said Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany told Sports Business Journal in a 2010 profile on Pilson. "We were looking for guidance and expertise and were confident Neal would provide that."
At the time of the seven schools' departure from the Big East last month, there was said to be significant interest by multiple television partners in doing a deal with the new league. Pilson's expertise in the area will surely help expedite the best deal for the new league.
While there is no timetable set by the seven basketball-only schools on nailing everything down, they are expected to try and secure their exit strategy fairly quickly. Once an end date on their relationship with the Big East is finalized, it's believed that the schools can then begin courting new members to join their league in order to give a television partner an adequate picture of what their worth may be.

In this week's Acton Commentary, "Contagious Community," I look at the positive as well as the negative aspects of coordination and cooperation between human beings on a global scale. The film Contagion provided the occasion for these reflections, and I argue that
while the film is clear about the dangers of globalized human relationships, it also teaches a more subtle lesson. Even as disease represents a danger that can have worldwide impact, such dangers remain the exception rather than the rule. Indeed, the film portrays quite well how global networks of information and exchange are absolutely foundational for our contemporary world.
I was reminded of this uniquely human social characteristic again while reading through Abraham Kuyper's Wisdom & Wonder: Common Grace in Science & Art this week. Kuyper makes the point that human pursuit of scientific knowledge is a communal endeavor. In fact, he writes,
Science is thus constructed not on the basis of what one person observes, discovers, imagines, and organizes into one system in his or her thinking. Rather, science arises from the fruit of the thinking, imagining, and reflecting of successive generations in the course of centuries, and by means of the cooperation of everyone.
What we have in the case of the development of human knowledge, then, is a communal endeavor defined not just in spatial terms (i.e. globally) but also temporally, including the successive ages of human beings from the past and their discoveries as they have been built upon and communicated to us today.
When discussing the idea of the invisible church, theologians include both the living and dead (who now enjoy the revelation of the blessed in the intermediate state) as making up "the communion of saints." But similarly with respect to science as a common grace enterprise, we have a communion of common grace that likewise includes the living as well as the dead.
No single person can comprehend science in an "exalted sense," which for Kuyper "originates only through the cooperation of many people," the living as well as the dead. In the same way, no single person knows how to manufacture a pencil or build a chair, in part because none of us who are alive today got where we are on our own. We (and our civilization) are the products of those who have come before.
Recognition of this should instill in us a pretty healthy sense of humility and gratefulness for the graces of human community.
In a recent speech, President Obama invoked Scripture to justify his ambitious spending plans. In this week's Acton Commentary (published May 25), Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg notes that the president said nothing about the role of private communities and associations in helping our brothers and sisters in need. What's more, "our leader hasn't noticed that even some European governments, many of whom have been handing out as much pork as possible to politically-connected, politically-correct crony-capitalists over the past 15 years, are concluding many of these projects aren't likely to be economically-viable either now or in the distant future," Gregg writes.

My ongoing reflection on the Hunger Games trilogy from Suzanne Collins continues with today's Acton Commentary, "Bread First, Then Ethics." This piece serves as a sort of follow-up to an earlier commentary, "Secular Scapegoats and 'The Hunger Games,'" as well as an essay over at First Things I wrote with Todd Steen, "Hope in the Hunger Games."
In this week's commentary, I examine the dynamic of what might be understood to reflect Maslow's hierarchy of needs as depicted in the Hunger Games (HT to Hunter Baker for his reference to Maslow). In general, "Maslow's theory suggests that the most basic level of needs must be met before the individual will strongly desire (or focus motivation upon) the secondary or higher level needs." Or more succinctly: bread first, then ethics.
This dynamic is captured nicely in a brief dialogue in the film between Katniss and Peeta. Peeta expresses his frustration at their situation: "I just keep wishing I could think of a way to show them that they don't own me. If I'm gonna die, I wanna still be me."
To this Katniss responds bluntly: "I just can't afford to think like that." Survival first, then she can worry about making ethical stands or moral gestures. Bread first, then ethics.
In today's piece, I conclude that "the pagan answer to the question of hope focuses on bread first, and only afterwards (and perhaps never) on spiritual or moral matters." The situation is a bit more complex than this, however. What we should understand by "first" in this sense is not necessarily temporal, but rather a priority of purpose or significance.
There's a certain element of truth to something like Maslow's hierarchy, even if one might quibble with the details. As Bertolt Brecht famously put it, "Erst kommt das Fressen / Dann kommt die Moral," or "First comes eating, then comes morality." A church teaching that ignores the physical needs of people, or only on the life to come, is truncated and flawed. Scot McKnight's recent book The King Jesus Gospel makes this point quite well.
Indeed, as the Puritan Richard Baxter observed,
If nature be not supported, men are not capable of other good. We pray for our daily bread before pardon and spiritual blessings, not as if we were better, but that nature is supposed before grace, and we cannot be Christians if we be not men; God hath so placed the soul in the body, that good or evil shall make its entrance by the bodily sense to the soul.
So seek first the kingdom of God and all these other things will be added as well. Do not allow for material goods to become a distraction, or even an idol, that steals attention away from our focus on "pardon and spiritual blessings." But don't let our focus on "spirituality" become otherworldly and disembodied.
The gospel is good news for the whole person, body and soul. What God has joined together, let no one tear asunder.
John L. Allen, Jr., at the National Catholic Reporter, took note of the address recently given by Cardinal Peter Turkson, just as Acton did. Allen's blog post, which referenced Acton's Samuel Gregg and his National Review Online piece, noted that the Cardinal posed some very specific and probing questions for business people who wish to integrate their spiritual life and work life:
- Am I creating wealth, or am I engaging in rent-seeking behavior? (That's jargon for trying to get rich by manipulating the political and economic environment, for example by lobbying for tax breaks, rather than by actually creating something.)
- Is my company making every reasonable effort to take responsibility for unintended consequences [such as] environmental damage or other negative effects on suppliers, local communities and even competitors?
- Do I provide working conditions which allow my employees appropriate autonomy at each level?
- Am I making sure that the company provides safe working conditions, living wages, training, and the opportunity for employees to organize themselves?
- Do I follow the same standard of morality in all geographic locations?
- Am I seeking ways to deliver fair returns to providers of capital, fair wages to employees, fair prices to customers and suppliers, and fair taxes to local communities?
- Does my company honor its fiduciary obligations … with regular and truthful financial reporting?
- When economic conditions demand layoffs, is my company giving adequate notifications, employee transition assistance, and severance pay?
Allen points that this document will be concretely useful: retreats for business people, a foundational document for business education, etc. He says, '… it manages to bring Catholic social teaching down to earth without actually floating a single concrete policy proposal. Instead, it asks hard questions and trusts people of intelligence and good will to figure out the right answers.'

The Tories today attacked the Government over rising unemployment and demanded more action to get the banks lending again to businesses.
Shadow foreign secretary William Hague warned of "soaring unemployment, rocketing debt, good businesses going to the wall".
Standing in for Tory leader David Cameron at question time, he added: "If this is the Prime Minister saving the world, God help us when he moves onto the rest of the solar system.
"How many people are going to have to lose their job before the Prime Minister justifiably loses his own?"
With Mr Brown in Iraq, Commons Leader Harriet Harman told him: "We would rather have Superman leading our party than have a party led by a joker!"
She said the Government would be announcing a small business loan guarantee scheme in January.
Ministers were taking effective action to help families and businesses and would never, unlike the Tories, say that unemployment was a "price worth paying".
Mr Hague seized on the latest unemployment figures which showed the number of benefit claims had gone over a million for the first time in eight years after a huge increase in dole queues.
He branded Mr Brown's administration a "say anything, spin anything, achieve nothing Government" and urged ministers to adopt a loan guarantee scheme.
Consumers, he said, had given the Government's temporary VAT cut a "massive thumbs down" and ministers needed to get credit moving again.
Ms Harman accused the Tories of "talking down" confidence in the economy, insisting that a fiscal boost was vital to get retail sales rising again.
"We would take the action while all the Tories do is carp and criticise."
Mr Hague said today's unemployment figures showed a further rise of 137,000 - the highest level for 10 years and "obviously set to rise further".
He said: "We've been pointing out that the big problem is even viable businesses can't get the loans they need.
"Last week we asked the Government again to look at the bank rescue package and the Chancellor did announce on Monday one of the measures we have been calling for.
"But will the Government now accept the urgent need to get money into the hands of businesses of this country."
Ms Harman said: "Any time, anyone loses their job, that is a terrible blow for them.
"That is why we are stepping up Government action with a £1.3 billion package to protect people who become unemployed, to help them get the skills to get new jobs and also to make sure that if they become unemployed they don't lose their home.
"You're right that small businesses are the lifeblood of enterprise and employment in this country.
"That is why we recapitalised the banks to stabilise the banking system and that's why in January we will be setting up a new small business loan guarantee scheme.
"It's true to say that while lending figures are starting to show increasing lending to small businesses, there are still businesses having problems.
"That's why the national lending panel has been established."Reuse content

From the heat of the summer to the cold and wet winters, coping with the county's vast range of weather has presented a challenge for residents such as Amanda Phillips.
Phillips and her husband, who bought their home a year ago, quickly realized the high cost of energy efficiency.
"Summer started to kick in and we were running $500 or $600 a month in energy bills," said Phillips.
It was an amount that put a negative tilt on the family's budget.
Their search to become efficient led them to a program called HERO, which stands for Home Energy Renovation Opportunity.
"The goal with the HERO program is to make energy efficiency more affordable," said Matt Messina, spokesman for the program.
Over 150,000 products qualify for upgrades, including solar, energy and water efficiency measures.
Repayment of HERO financing is included in your property tax bill. Beyond becoming efficient, county administrator Allan Krauter sees potential for jobs.
"As this thing takes hold, it's going to provide a lot of good paying skilled jobs, which are badly needed," he said.
The program is currently available to the thousands of residents living in the un-incorporated areas of the county, as well as Ridgecrest and Taft.
Talks are underway for deals in Delano, Arvin and Bakersfield by May.

Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Nanotechnology and Information Science
1st Edition
Quantum mechanics transcends and supplants classical mechanics at the atomic and subatomic levels. It provides the underlying framework for many subfields of physics, chemistry and materials science, including condensed matter physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear physics. It is the only way we can understand the structure of materials, from the semiconductors in our computers to the metal in our automobiles. It is also the scaffolding supporting much of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The purpose of this book is to present the fundamentals of quantum theory within a modern perspective, with emphasis on applications to nanoscience and nanotechnology, and information-technology. As the frontiers of science have advanced, the sort of curriculum adequate for students in the sciences and engineering twenty years ago is no longer satisfactory today. Hence, the emphasis on new topics that are not included in older reference texts, such as quantum information theory, decoherence and dissipation, and on applications to nanotechnology, including quantum dots, wires and wells.
Key Features
- This book provides a novel approach to Quantum Mechanics whilst also giving readers the requisite background and training for the scientists and engineers of the 21st Century who need to come to grips with quantum phenomena
- The fundamentals of quantum theory are provided within a modern perspective, with emphasis on applications to nanoscience and nanotechnology, and information-technology
- Older books on quantum mechanics do not contain the amalgam of ideas, concepts and tools necessary to prepare engineers and scientists to deal with the new facets of quantum mechanics and their application to quantum information science and nanotechnology
- As the frontiers of science have advanced, the sort of curriculum adequate for students in the sciences and engineering twenty years ago is no longer satisfactory today
- There are many excellent quantum mechanics books available, but none have the emphasis on nanotechnology and quantum information science that this book has

Schools Want More Control Over Day-to-Day Matters
Members of the Ohio County Board of Education believe West Virginia counties need more local control over day-to-day school matters, and made their thoughts known during a special meeting Friday to discuss issues from the recently released state-wide Education Efficiency Audit.
The Education Efficiency Audit is a central topic at the 2013 state legislative session in Charleston. Board Member Christine Carder stressed the state department should set the standards for schools, but the methods in which teachers and schools meet those standards should primarily be discussed at the local level.
"We are the most regulated state in the nation," Carder said. "The teachers don't have the freedom in the classroom to teach what they have to teach. The state department of education interprets policies and writes the regulations and then we're required to follow the regulations, but sometimes those regulations strangle."
Superintendent Dianna Vargo said the board especially hopes to see the state give counties more flexibility in its school calendar at the legislative session to allow schools to fit in the 180-day requirement as needed for individual counties.
"We had our local legislatures come in recently and we talked about the flexibility for the school calendar for the community and the county," Vargo said. "I know there's been some discussion about the calendar so we hope that flexibility is given to the local schools."
John Jorden, human resources director, presented the board with two options for the 2013-2014 school calendar that both meet the requirement of 180 days of instruction, allow for flexibility for weather delays and have first semester exams scheduled before winter break, a popular change from the 2012-2013 school year.
The calendars are available for public discussion until they are taken to the board for a vote March 25.
Jorden said it does seem Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin will give counties flexibility with the school calendar and forgo the suggested year-round calendar after his State of the State Address last week.
The board also stressed the importance of keeping regional education service agencies (RESAs), stating the county depends on the services of RESA 6, including training for teachers in various areas and service for the schools' computers. Carder explained RESAs are currently receiving contention from the state, but stressed a RESA can be very useful and effective if run correctly.

Choosing The Right Cosmetics For Acne Prone Skin
How to choose the right cosmetics for acne prone skin : I have an oily and acne prone skin so I am careful and very selective when it comes to choosing beauty products. I love makeup and the way they look on models seen in glossy magazines. I, somehow, envy those who can get away with some color on their faces.
Before buying anything from a beauty counter, I either have to sample the product or read the label for any ingredient that may cause my skin to break out. This is because at the simple touch of a product that is not appropriate for my skin, I can easily have a pimple in just a matter of time.
Acne prone skin needs to be well taken care of. I have to avoid anything that says comedogenic on its label. This means it can clog pores and this may lead to the development of acne. There are 2 other things I have to avoid in a product and these are: • Lanolin
This is an ingredient found in some cosmetics such as moisturizers that easily irritates the skin.
Isopropyl Myristate
This is another ingredient that can easily cause skin irritation.
I have to carefully choose the following makeup products since most skin irritants are present in their ingredients.
Since using a moisturizer is a must for everyone, men and women alike, I need to buy formulas that are oil-free so I would not further add oil to my skin. They should also be non-comedogenic to make sure my pores wouldn't get clogged.
Again, I should choose one that is oil free and light so my skin could breathe.
Cream Blush On
I have to avoid any product that is too creamy and that could possibly clog my pores.
In case I make a mistake of buying makeup that causes my skin to break out, I discontinue using it. That is why I seldom buy products that come in regular sizes. I just do this once I have tested a sample on my skin.
It is a good thing that makeup companies have come up with mineral products that consists of only the finest ingredients that claim not to irritate the skin. When it was just new in the market, I was curious enough to buy the first ever mineral foundation powder. I must say, I was impressed. Not only did it look natural on me, it did not cause my skin to break out in any way.
Now almost every cosmetic giant has come up with their own version of mineral products, each boasting of special features such as SPF and paraben free formulas, among others. Besides foundation, there are mineral primers, mineral eye shadows and blushers.
Here are some good reasons why those with acne prone skin should think of changing to mineral makeup:
- Most conventional cosmetics contain chemicals that are harmful and irritating to the skin.
- Mineral cosmetics do not clog the skin pores. So, it is unlikely for pimples and other forms of acne to pop out.
- They protect the skin against pollutants in the environment.
- They protect the skin against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
- Lastly, mineral makeup is also good for the environment. It does not pose any hazard in terms of production and disposal.
I am glad that these companies have come up with healthy mineral makeup. It allows me to look pretty without sacrificing the condition of my skin.
Acne Prescription Medicine
Are you considering using acne prescription medicine? Well there are many prescription medicines for acne, so I'd like to help you out by showing you the options available.
I'd like to throw a caveat out there if you'd like to do a prescription acne treatment. Please only get the medicine with a prescription from your doctor. While it may be possible to get the medication online illegally, it isn't in your best interests. You can end up wasting your money or hurting yourself.
There have been many studies that show that Internet-bought prescriptions don't have reliable quantities of the active ingredient. Getting too little is a waste of money, and getting too much can be toxic! Worse yet, you might even end up with the wrong drug and end up wasting money and hurting yourself at the same time.
Here are some of the more popular categories of acne prescription medicines:
Also known as Roaccutane and Isotretinoin, this prescription medication which is derived from Vitamin A is the "ultimate" in acne treatments available. The reason that makes it so effective is because it prevents many of the factors that contribute to acne forming in the first place, although it doesn't really fix the underlying root cause of acne in the first place – which is hormone related.
Accutane shrinks the size of the sebaceous glands, which are responsible for outputting the sebum (oil) that goes through your pores and onto your skin. This reduces the amount of sebum creation, which reduces the chances for plugs to develop.
In addition, Accutane also helps your skin cells break away cleanly when they die and shed, which is called kertinization. This reduces the chances of clogged pores as well, since you don't have clumps of dead skin getting stuck in a pore.
Some of these changes Accutane makes on your body can be permanent, which can make it a permanent cure for your acne. This isn't always the case however, and the side effects some people experience with the drug are permanent as well. Accutane is a very serious acne prescription medicine and should be taken as a last resort, due to the harsh side effects and costs involved.
Antibiotics is an acne prescription medicine that takes a different approach to curing your acne when compared to Accutane. Instead of focusing on the skin itself, antibiotics work on killing the acne causing bacteria and helping reduce inflammation. There are many factors involved in creating acne so treatment options can take different approaches to "break the link in the chain".
The most common group of antibiotics in acne treatment are Tetracyclines. Here are the different kinds, which are ordered from most effective (and risky) to least effective: Tetracycline – commonly sold as Achromycin V, Panmycin, Robitet Robicaps, Sumycin, Tetracap, and Topicycline.
Doxycycline – commonly sold as Doryx, Monodox, Periostat, Doxy Caps, Doxychel Hyclate, Vibra-Tabs, and Vibramycin.
Minocycline – commonly sold as Minocin, Dynacin, Minocin Oral, Ventrin, and generic Minocycline.
The difference between the brands lies in the inactive ingredients used in the pills. In theory, they could affect how the active ingredient is absorbed by the body, making some better than others. This is debatable though and your doctor will likely just pick the brand for you.
While antibiotics will help reduce your acne, it isn't a permanent fix unless taken until you wouldn't have acne for other reasons. The problem is that prolonged dosages of antibiotics can cause many health problems, and the bacteria can eventually become resistant to it.
Retinoids are a topical treatment that is based off of Vitamin A. Although not as common, it has shown to be an effective treatment for many skin disorders including acne. Retinoids are not as well known or understood, but they apparently work by regulating skin cell growth.
The epidermis is thinned out over several weeks of treatment, which makes acne breakouts harder to occur. You also become more sensitive to the sun, so you have to be more careful while outside. The retinoids actually change the way your skin develops, so it is arguable whether or not this is a good idea in the long run.
Popular brands of retinoids include Retin-A, Differin, and Tazorac.
Hormonal Treatments
Hormonal medications such as spironolactone or birth control pills try to adjust the hormone variations which can induce acne. They especially have an "anti-androgen" affect, which can assist decrease sebum production which reduces the possibilities for acne.
These treatments are only available to women. Personally, I don't think trying to manually adjust your hormones is a good idea. Your hormones are in the state they're in for a reason, so if they're out of balance you should look for the underlying root cause and fix that.
A hormone imbalance is a symptom, not a cause. Most of modern medicine aims to mask symptoms, but rarely goes after the root of the problem. In general I think this applies to all acne prescription medicines but especially to hormonal treatments.
Birth Control That Helps Acne – There are birth control pills that help as an acne prescription medicine, but you should want to read more about them before you make a decision as to whether to take them or not.
Spironolactone Side Effects – Read this article to understand what spironolactone is before pursuing treatment. Also, spironolactone side effects should be considered before using spironolactone for acne treatment.
My Experience
While I can't say I've had personal experience with all the prescriptions medications for acne, I had taken tetracycline as a teenager for a short period of time. My parents noticed very terrible cystic acne on my upper back, and decided that something had to be done about it.
The acne was literally large splotches of blue and purple. While I don't particularly like going to antibiotics for cures, I do believe that they are sometimes the best option available. By taking tetracycline, the severity of my cystic acne was reduced to a moderate level and was never as bad as it was before I took the antibiotics.
So my overall experience with acne prescription medicines has been positive, which is why I do not rule them out as a treatment option even though I prefer natural treatments when possible.
Also, another natural supplement that can also be used to treat acne is aloe vera.
Hugely Efficient Vitamins For Acne Treatment
It's a reality which the wellbeing of your respective pores and skin has a good deal of relationship using the sort of diet you use. A lot of researchers have discovered natural vitamins to generally be really essential in lessening or reducing the effects of acne.

You might hit when accomplishing your trials. However, when you resort to working with encouraged natural vitamins, you can be fairly certain that you will achieve your goal perfectly. Here are the best 5 nutritional vitamins for acne remedy.

- Reviews
Customer Reviews 31 item(s)
- Excellent service
Quick and prompt service and awesome product, thanks!
- Excellent product that does the job
Been using this product with good results. Be sure to check bait stations frequently. I check mine every 2-3 days.
- fully satisfied
very good product help a lot excellent help
- good product/ works well
I was a pest control operator in NYC for many years and relied on this product as part my arsenal for rodent control
- 5 stars for this pest control easy to use!
Second time I have purchased this product and I love it!! Easy to use in the bait stations. I highly recommend using this effective pest control.
- Never fails
Great product. Well worth the cost. Never fails to rid the premises of rats within days. Works well in the protecta lp bait station. I have dogs and although extremely careful, i needed a bait that has a readily available antidote in case of accidental ingestion. This fits the bill. I miss the smaller pail size but will continue to purchase as it works so well.
- Works Well
We had an explosion of mice this last year, since there wasn't a lot of snow. Contrac Blox has worked the best so far. Very effective. I used the Protecta Mouse Bait Stations as well, they are holding up well.
- Kills rats, safer for Dogs
This product is fantastic. I had a pest control company come out and set a bait station for $140, it worked okay until the blocs were gone, about a week. The rats were still in my roof so I got this product for the price of one pro visit. I'm tossing out 5-6 dead rats a week.
- It works!
This product is highly effective for eliminating rat and mouse populations and is what many "professionals" use for critter control. We use in tandem with Protecta Sidekick bait stations (a must to protect pets, birds and larger wild animals) with great success. Highly recommended.
- Very satisified
We are using this product in 3 locations and as long as we keep the bait trap dry the results are excellent. Using the black plastic boxes with great success.
- always use the rat bait stations. It seems the raccoons and possums like it too
Amazing stuff. Something chewed the lid on my last bucket when I had it under the deck and it spoiled due to rain getting in. This bucket is locked in the shed.
- Works for rat Infestations
This is a very good product that works if you follow the instructions and keep the boxes full. I live on a remote island where there will forever be a large population of Norway rats, I have six boxes that I keep full around my property, and they do an excellent job of keeping my property clear of the rats. During the colder months I need to refill the boxes every month, and during the summer, it's less often. The rats go home to die when they get an upset tummy after digesting, and so you will not find the dead rats around. In the 8 years I have been using this product successfully, I have only ever seen three dead rats. Just to put the effectiveness in perspective; before finding this product, I was using hav-a-harts and rat snap-traps to catch about a dozen rats a week. Now I do not even see them. The bait works. NOTE: If you have a current infestation, it takes up to three weeks for the infestation to end, so BE PATIENT as you kill off a larger family. Also, this product is in locked boxes and safe for other pets - even rabbits (small but not rodents and can't get into the boxes). I highly recommend to anyone dealing with a rat infestation.
- Fresh bait
Good fresh bait with a sweet smell that attracts mice and rats in barn fast.
- Get them before they come inside
I've ordered Contrac blox a few times and will keep on ordering it. Works like magic when needed.
My third time ordering and the bait works great. Better to get them outside before they come inside.
- Bait with Stations work like a charm
Had significant activity in my yard, attic, and walls. This bait, with the bait stations, worked awesome and as advertised. Found one dead mouse in a bait station, and it appeared that the anticoagulant worked as advertised (without getting into too much gory detail).
I would buy this again, but might not have to, as a bucket is going a long way!
- Will not buy again
I would not buy Lumitrak again. Thought it would be interesting to get this bait that leaves a trail. But it appears not to be as effective as the regular Contrac Blox,
- Excellent
The bait arrived at the farm and we put the bait out on a wire within a cage and they were eating on it pretty steady for the last 3 weeks and now it seems like it has slowed down. Hopefully this will get rid of the mice and rats eating the wiring within the farm machinery and cars parked in the pole bar. This facility stores large combines and tractors and old antiques so we want the equipment safe from the destruction of mice and rats. I have used other pest control products from this company and they really work excellent.
- Good!
I use this product a lot. It is good if rats eat it. But sometimes rats do not eat it. Or they still alive after I put I put the poison around.
- Great stuff - couldn't be happierd
I am on my third bucket of blox and I couldn't be happier. I use them in our barn in a large bait station and the mice have not gotten in our motorhome or boat in years. I keep the large bait traps around for the pack rats and the small traps in the motorhome for any mice that may make their way in for a warm place to sleep. I used to buy decon but I couldn't keep up. They would pack it away and I still had mice. . The blocks make it so they have to eat it a little at a time and a little bit kills them quick. I do recommend the blocks regularly to anyone I hear has a rodent problem. The bait traps and bait are the same traps the pest control company set at a friends house and charge her $45.00 a month to come check and reload! Works on chipmunks too. Pretty much any destructive rodent.
- Excellent product
This is a killer product... kills mice and rats in no time flat. I use it in the basement and in a garage that borders a field where the mice like to hang out and come in the garage to hibernate in the winter - they hibernate all right DEAD..
- this stuff is great for mice I couldn't do without it
this stuff is great for mice I couldn't do without it
- Contrac Blox
I've been using it in the back yard for eight years with the feeding stations. Have not seen alive rodent since. Having pets in the home the feeding stations are a great way of protecting them from the Contrac Blox.
- Did the trick!
Eating thru the wires of our HVAC system (under the house; in a rural area). Between a better sealing of the house & this bait, situation is finally under control!
- Contrac Blox
Works great - took care of the mice problem in my basement quickly and easily.
- The BEST on the market
We bought this for my sister living in Fla. She lives on the canal there in Hallandale. The RATS were so bad they ate through the floors the roof & the walls at night. At times she would wake up & the rats would be starring at her....
We sent her 18 bricks. She could not believe it there were so many dead rats because after they would eat this I guess it made them thirsty when she would go by the canal there were so many rats she called the city health Dept...
Now she replaced the floors the roof she does not live without this product it's the BEST ON THE MARKET.....
- Great Rat Killer
I have been using Contrac Blox for years and didn't know it. My overpriced pest control company was soaking me! I found this site and ordered and have saved myself a lot of money by doing so.
This stuff works. After you get this instead of the regular color rat droppings you will see just a few droppings that look exactly like the block. When you see that put your mind at ease. Dead Rat Walking!
It works trust me!
- Another great product!
If you have rodent issues, this is the product for you!!!
Works like a charm!!
- Excellent Rodent Stopper
Once I place the bait blocks where they need to be, the noise stops within a week.
- Great Bait
I had a huge rat problem , tried a boat load of traps, nothing worked until I got Contrac....great bait. Killed all my rats !
- Kill rats
Wow, I called these people and they said the rats really like contrac
and they were right. I got rid of my problem inside of two weeks.
