Directions for Use

• Prior to the use of rat & mice poison, non-chemical control methods (e.g. rodent traps) should be considered. Also consider preventative control measures such as blocking access holes, and removing potential food and drink sources as far as possible in order to improve rodenticide intake and reduce the likelihood of reinvasion.
• Remove food that is readily attainable for rodents (e.g. spilled grain or food waste). Do not clean up the infested area just before the treatment, as this only disturbs the rodent population and
  makes bait acceptance more difficult to achieve.
• Use rat & mice poison only in tamper-resistant bait stations. Bait stations should be placed in the immediate vicinity where rodent activity has been observed (e.g. rodent runs, nesting sites, holes, burrows, etc.).
• When used for the control of mice, bait stations must only be placed indoors. Replace any rat & mice poison in a bait station in which bait has been damaged by water or contaminated by dirt. Where possible, bait stations must be fixed to the ground or other structures.
• Place bait stations out of the reach of children, birds, pets, farm animals, and other non-target animals. Place bait stations away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs, as well as from utensils or surfaces that have contact with these.
• Place the bait stations in areas not liable to flooding. Do not place bait stations near water drainage systems where they can come into contact with water. When using rat & mice poison do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands and directly exposed skin after using rat & mice poison. Remove the remaining bait or the bait stations at the end of the treatment period.
• Search for and remove dead rodents during treatment, at least as often as when bait stations are inspected.
  

Vertox 25 Storage and disposal

Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. Keep only in the original container. Keep the container closed and away from direct sunlight. Store in places prevented from the access of children, birds, pets and farm animals. At the end of the treatment, dispose of uneaten rat & mice poison and the packaging in accordance with local requirements. In Ireland dispose of uneaten bait and the packaging in accordance with EPA requirements for the disposal of hazardous waste.

Use of gloves is recommended. Dispose of dead rodents in accordance with local requirements. Poisoned rodents should be double-bagged using plastic bags and either disposed of in a
household waste bin with a secure lid to prevent access of wildlife or pets, or collected by a specialist waste contractor. Rodents can be disease carriers. Do not touch dead rodents with your bare hands. Use gloves or use tools such as tongs when disposing of them.

Can I buy Rodenticide in bigger tubs?

Unfortunately, it has been decided at the European level (European Biocide Directive 2018) that rat & mice poison placed on the market for untrained users should not be sold in packs bigger than 300g. We sell the strongest rat & mice poison available on the market (brodifacoum 0.025%) in the highest quantity tubs (300g.).

If you require higher quantities of rodenticide you can purchase several tubs. We offer discounts for higher quantities purchased. If you are distributing rodenticides please contact us directly, we can offer pallet quantity discounts.

The short answer is No! For over 50 years, the worldwide success of all anticoagulant rodenticides is due to the fact that they only kill 3 to 5 days after ingestion. This is because rodents are very cautious and only eat a little bit to start with. As they do not feel sick, they are not suspicious about the poison and start eating a lot of it.

Rats and mice also have the instinct to store the food they find so they will carry some of the bait to their nest and share it with all members of the colony, achieving full control of the rodent infestation.

This feature of the anticoagulant rodenticides also make them much safer in case of accidental consumption by pets or other non-target species, i.e. it gives plenty of time to a simple antidote (vitamin K1).
