Rodenticides
Rodent infestation
is costly . . .
Rodents
► Rodents contaminate 10 times more grain than
they eat (costs $2 billion annually)
► Rodents cause structural damage to buildings by
burrowing, gnawing, and nesting.
► Rodents transmit disease-causing organisms, such as
Salmonella, Leptospira, Trichinella,
E. coli, Hantavirus,
Cryptosporidium, pseudorabies, and many others.
Prevent
Financial Losses with Effective Rodent Control
Maintaining control over rodent populations is an ever-present
management challenge. Even short-term neglect of rodent control
can mean financial frustrations in terms of property damage,
grain/feed damage, and disease transmission.
Year-round monitoring
and maintenance of an effective rodent control program can prevent
financial losses.
An effective rodent control program is an
integrated pest management program. This approach combines:
-
Environmental modification (sanitation
and rodent-proofing of buildings)
-
Population reduction (use of effective
rodenticide)
-
Kills the three most common
rodents - Norway rat, roof rat, and house mouse
-
Choice of highly effective active
ingredients
-
Highly acceptable and palatable baits
entice consumption of bait leading to death
-
Convenient and easy to use
-
Choice of product forms
Signs of Rodent a Problem
-
Torn feed bags
-
Droppings and urine stains
-
Rodent hair
-
Grease smears on walls and floors
-
Gnawed wiring, insulation, walls, etc.
-
Burrows along foundations and fence
lines
Rodents on
the Move
As weather cools, rodents move into buildings taking refuge.
Initiate a rodent control program before rodent populations become
established.
Place Pack Advantage
-
Packaging protects bait
- keeps bait
fresh and prevents moisture penetration
-
Easy to place in hard-to-reach places
-
Enables aroma to penetrate package,
attracting rodents

Rodenticide Baiting Tips
-
Bait entire building (inside and
outside). It is especially important to use bait stations outside
of buildings
to protect non-target animals. Empty buildings should
also be baited to prevent establishment of new colonies.
-
Eliminate access to food sources.
-
Use fresh bait. Remove stale, damp, or
moldy bait.
-
Keep bait fresh and free of
contamination.
-
Place bait at proper locations and
distances.
-
Strategically place bait along walls,
near doorways, under feeders, and other protected areas where
rodent
signs are evident.
-
Ensure adequate amount of bait is
used. Underbaiting is one of the main reasons for poor rodent
control.
-
Wear gloves when handling bait, as
rodents have a keen sense of smell and taste.
-
Place water near bait stations
for greater consumption of bait and more rapid kill.
-
Use
tamper-proof bait stations to protect non-target animals.
-
Check bait stations every other day
during the first 10 days of initial baiting and twice weekly
thereafter.
-
Properly dispose of dead rodents
daily.
-
Seal access points into buildings
1/4
inch and larger in diameter.
Blue Death
Active
Ingredient: Diphacinone
Blue Death products kill warfarin-resistant rodents. These
products are more potent and have longer anticoagulant activity
compared to warfarin. These baits are highly palatable to entice
consumption,
a key factor in bait acceptance. Blue Death products
are dyed blue or green, depending on the product, to clearly
distinguish the bait from feed products.
Blue Death-D is a cost-effective rodenticide containing
diphacinone, a multiple-feed anticoagulant. Rodents die within
seven to ten days after consuming sufficient amounts of Blue
Death-D. These products contain highly palatable ingredients,
which encourage intake leading to a reduction in feeding days to
death.
Blue Death-D Products
-
867100CS - Hide-A-Pack (2 oz packet,
160
per container)
-
857400CS - 100 lb carton All-Weather, Mold
and Moisture Resistant Bars 100 X 1lb
To help ensure a
successful rodent control program, follow rodenticide direction
for use. To assure maximum and continuous bait intake and to
maintain product freshness, the appropriate quantity and package
sizes of rodenticide should be purchased.
