Racumin Rat and Mouse Blocks (Coumatetralyl)

Tips For Use

Tips for Use:

• Eliminate, as far as practicable, all alternative food sources.
• If baits are eaten quickly, increase the number of baits.
• Baiting for at least 2 weeks is necessary to reduce mouse or rat numbers but continue observation and bait replenishment until no more baits are taken.
• Remove and destroy untaken bait at the conclusion of the rodent control program.
• Do not place baits in the open unless in bait stations. 
• Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas whilst bait is present. 
• Do not exceed 3m between bait stations for mice (or 9m for rats).
• Do not place baits in any position accessible to children, livestock or domestic pets.
• Do not feed the bait to either wild or domestic birds.

Baiting Strategies:

• Locate bait stations around crop perimeters (particularly between the crop and grassy or bushy habitats), near obvious rat runs, and/or close to known rat hiding spots such as stumps, rocks, logs or burrows.
• Bait stations must be put down several days before the start of the control program to give rats time to become acquainted with the station.
• During the first week offer free feed to attract the rats.
• The bait material must be placed in a bait station where it is not in direct contact with the ground and is not accessible to birds and other wildlife. Bait should be checked and replenished every 3 days until no more baits are taken.

Restraints:

• Do not place baits in the open unless in bait stations.
• Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas whilst bait is present.
