A ready-to-use bait for the control of mice in all situations.

Ratsnip Gel is a ready-to-use semi-solid mouse bait which is palatable and reduces the problems of spillage.

Ratsnip Gel is effective against mice, including strains resistant to some other anticoagulants. Two or more feeds are required to produce a delayed mortality (4-10 days): most rodents die in their burrows out of sight.

Ratsnip Gel contains denatonium benzoate to help prevent accidental human consumption.

• WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before meals and after use.
• PREVENT ACCESS TO BAIT by children, birds and nontarget animals particularly dogs, cats, pigs and poultry.

NOTE TO DOCTOR

Difenacoum is an indirect anticoagulant. Phytomenadione, Vitamin K1, is antidotal. Determine prothrombin times not less than eighteen hours after consumption. If elevated, administer Vitamin K1 in divided doses. Continue until prothrombin times normalise. After withdrawal of the antidote, continue determination of prothrombin time for two weeks and resume treatment if elevation occurs in that time. NB. Vitamin K3 is not effective.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The product must only be applied using a skeleton or caulking gun. Cut off the domed end of the tube taking care not to damage the screw thread. Cut the tapered nozzle to give an opening of approximately 1 cm diameter. Screw the nozzle onto the tube before installing in the skeleton or caulking gun. After each application deposit any run-on by drawing the end of the nozzle against the bait container. Cover the nozzle when not in use and release the caulking gun pressure to prevent leakage.

SURVEY

Thoroughly survey the infested premises to locate all active mouse colonies. Look for runs, burrows, droppings and signs of damage.

PLACE BAITS

Use 5 g of gel per bait point (a bead approximately 5 cm long and 1 cm diameter), at many bait points where there are signs of activity such as droppings, gnawing or tracks.

As mice are sporadic feeders place baits 1-2 meters apart, in all locations where they are inaccessible to children, animals and birds. see open-ended containers, such as impermeable cardboard boxes or plastic bait stations. Protect from frost. Place baits only in situations where there is no ready access to occupants of houses.

INSPECT & REPLENISH

Inspect baits frequently particularly in the first 10 days and replace eaten bait. If a bait point is completely consumed, the quantity should be increased. Continue replenishment until baits are untouched.

CLEAN UP

Remove all remains of bait and bait containers and dispose of safely.
