Hampshire based rodenticide manufacturer PelGar International has launched a new brodifacoum pasta for professional users to help combat serious indoor infestations.
Vertox Pasta is a ready-for-use bait containing 0.005% w/w of the second generation �single-feed� anticoagulant rodenticide brodifacoum. It is effective against all commensal rodents such as the brown rat and house mouse.
Vertox pasta bait, which has been designed and developed in-house, is a high-calorie, high palatability feed bait that will tempt rodents away from other food sources.
PelGar pasta baits are made from a blend of high quality culinary grade wheat flour, chopped grain, soft lard and peanut flavouring. Brodifacoum based Vertox baits do not cause bait shyness and only a small amount is needed to achieve control.
Vertox pasta bait is presented in 15g unit dose �T-bags� in a 5kg tub or 300g �caulking� tubes for direct spot placement, and is available from Essex Environmental Supplies.
�Brodifacoum single feed baits should not be the first port of call in a rodent control programme � but are useful where baits based on other active ingredients have failed to produce the desired results,� says PelGar�s UK sales and marketing manager Nic Blaszkowicz.
�Our pasta formulations are very popular because they are easy to use and to secure in bait stations. Brodifacoum is a more dangerous active ingredient, so best practice is the key to minimising the risk to non-target animals.�
