ROMAX RAT CP – An Intelligent Approach to Rat Control

Barrettine are pleased to announce the release of a new ‘professional-only’ rat bait that, as a multi-feed bait, is as potent as ‘single-feed’ products such as brodifacoum, but with a significantly reduced risk of secondary poisoning.

The product has a proven record in many countries worldwide and is being launched in the UK as ROMAX RAT CP.  Based on the special ‘soft block’ formulation, never seen in the UK before, this bait has proved to be particularly attractive to rats.  Indeed tests have shown it to be preferred to cereal-based baits.  As a block, however, it is ‘non-spill’ and can be secured in place.

The active ingredient is coumatetralyl at a level of 0.0375% w/w which, when formulated in such a palatable formulation, has out-performed many existing products in extensive field trials.  It has proved to be effective against both the ‘good feeders’ and the more difficult-to-control ‘hesitant feeders’ in the rat population, leading to excellent levels of control.

It has long been recognised that products based on this active pose a much lower risk of secondary poisoning, especially to predatory birds. Anyone with concerns about baiting where there are known populations of Barn Owls, Red Kites and other birds of prey can use this bait in the knowledge that they are most unlikely to cause any problems.

This new product also adds another option when managing the potential problem of resistance as it has been proven to control rats that are already resistant to other 1st and 2nd generation anticoagulants.
ROMAX RAT CP is another, new, tool in the box for pest controllers.
