Description

Zinc Phosphide Mouse Bait

Active Ingredient: Zinc Phosphide @ 25g/kg

Similar or Comparable to: Mouseoff Zinc Phosphide Bait (Animal Control Technologies (Australia) Pty Ltd)

Surefire Zinc Phosphide Mouse Bait is for the control of heavy infestations of mice in agricultural situations and broadacre crops.

Surefire Zinc Phosphide is manufactured in Australia from locally grown quality wheat, which is carefully graded, cleaned and sterilized, before being mixed with food-grade oil and zinc phosphide powder.

Surefire Zinc Phosphide works by releasing phosphine gas in the stomach of the mouse immediately after it eats the poisoned grain. The gas is rapidly absorbed by the stomach, and it then depresses the central nervous system. Mice die from very small amounts of grain eaten, with more than 90% control being typically achieved within 48hrs of application.

When zinc phosphide is eaten by an animal, stomach acid causes it to release the toxic gas phosphine. Baits containing zinc phosphide are especially dangerous to animals that cannot vomit, such as rats, mice, and rabbits. The phosphine in the stomach then crosses into the body’s cells and stops the cells from producing energy. This causes the cells to die. Zinc phosphide affects all cells but targets cells in the heart, lungs, and liver.

Zinc phosphide will break down when it is exposed to water or moist soil in the environment. Any phosphine given off will be broken down by air. Zinc phosphide pellets may still release phosphine 5 weeks after being placed on damp soils, although the amount released depends on the formulation of the pellets.

Surefire Zinc Phosphide is registered for either aerial or calibrated ground application equipment.

Critical Comments:

Directions Of Use

Rate Per Ha: 1 kg/ha to achieve an even coverage of 2-3 grains/m²

Critical Comments:

Bait is only to be applied by aerial application or accurately calibrated ground application equipment to achieve 2-3 grains/m2.
It is imperative that all attempts are made to bait as evenly as possible to maximise product efficacy and minimise risks to non-target animals.
Surefire Zinc Phosphide Mouse Bait will provide a high level of control in most situations.
However in extremely high mice densities or areas with significant amounts of alternative feed, sufficient mice may remain to cause damage to crops after treatment.
Re-treatment after 14 days may therefore be required in certain circumstances.
It is recommended that pre-treatment estimations of the severity of the mouse problem are performed before applying bait and that post-baiting estimates are conducted to assess effectiveness of the control operation.
For information on the most effective methods of monitoring of mouse populations please contact the government department in your state responsible for vertebrate pest control.
Bait may retain activity for several days after light rain or in damp conditions, and light showers can be tolerated.
Maximum performance will however be expected under dry conditions.

Critical Comments:

This product is too dangerous to be used in the home garden.
Do not use this product in the home garden.
