Great name! Looks like it is a Ferramol (Iron) based formula as used in the new pellets we can get over here now. Not sure what the yellow square is though, some sort of impregnated mat?

Yes to Ferramol - like Slug-go etc.

The yellow mat has had me puzzled as well...

I would think its just the packaging? The bait is dark, under the mat is dark........wouldn't show up.
