CHARACTERISTICS: RAT SHOT BLOCK is a ready-to-use rodenticide based on Difenacoum, an active ingredient that is effective against mice and rats with a single ingestion. Rodents typically die within 3 to 5 days of the first ingestion, allowing for control of the infestation without arousing suspicion among other members of the colony.
RAT SHOT BLOCK contains a well-balanced blend of food-based ingredients that are palatable to rodents; its paraffin content makes the bait particularly resistant and suitable for use in humid environments. Each block has a central hole for attaching it to special safety containers and fixed supports. RAT SHOT BLOCK can be used for rodent control inside and around buildings. RAT SHOT BLOCK contains a bittering substance (Denatonium Benzoate) designed to reduce the risk of accidental ingestion by children.
HOW TO USE: RAT SHOT BLOCK can be used for rodent control inside and around civil and rural buildings (industries, homes, warehouses, cellars, storage rooms), and on ships. Wear suitable gloves (EN374) when applying the product. The product is ready for use and must be used in accordance with the dosages indicated below. Avoid touching the product with bare hands and use suitable gloves. The bait must be placed in a suitable tamper-proof container, protected from atmospheric agents, ingestion by children and non-target species, and dispersion into the environment. Before placing the containers containing the bait, inspect the area to determine the rodent species, the level and extent of the infestation, and identify all access points, burrows, feeding places, etc.
Always consider the resistance status of the target population when choosing the rodenticide to use. To minimize the use of rodenticide baits, particularly for rodent control in sensitive areas (e.g., food processing plants and animal shelters), the preventive use of non-poisoned baits (placebo) is recommended. Appropriately mark the treatment area, indicating the risk of poisoning and first aid measures. Replace bait containers weekly, if necessary. Dead rodents must be removed from the treatment area frequently, and carcasses must be disposed of properly. Use suitable gloves when handling dead animals. In any case, carcasses must not be disposed of in waste or landfills. Once the disinfestation is complete, dispose of remaining bait in accordance with current regulations.
For rat infestations (Rattus norvegicus): use up to 100 g of bait per 10 metres per point, reducing this distance to 5 metres in case of heavy infestations.
