Surefire Difenate Blocks Rodenticide (Difenacoum)

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

Surefire Difenate All Weather Blocks Rodenticide is a palatable all-purpose rodenticide formulation based on the advanced anticoagulant, difenacoum, which is equally effective against rats and mice, including strains resistant to some other anticoagulants. In some circumstances more than one feed may be required to produce mortality that generally occurs 4-10 days after consuming the bait. 

Surefire Difenate All Weather Blocks Rodenticide is especially suited for use outdoors and in damp situations and are ideal for burrow baiting. The central hole in the block allows for fixing in bait stations, and for nailing or wiring in place to help prevent block carriage by rodents. 

Indoors, Surefire Difenate All Weather Blocks Rodenticide can be used in homes, factories, offices, public buildings, rural and industrial premises. Surefire Difenate All Weather Blocks Rodenticide contains Denatonium benzoate (a human taste deterrent) to help prevent accidental human consumption
