Description
Advanced Cholecalciferol Formula for Superior Control
The active ingredient in Selontra® is cholecalciferol, a naturally occurring form of vitamin D3. Unlike anticoagulant-based rodenticides, cholecalciferol works through a different biological pathway, making it effective even against rodents resistant to anticoagulants. This mechanism disrupts rodent calcium metabolism, leading to lethal results after a single dose.
Key features of the cholecalciferol formula include:
- Influential on Resistant Rodents: Works against mice and rats resistant to traditional anticoagulant rodenticides.
- Quick Mode of Action: Rodents stop feeding shortly after ingesting a lethal dose, reducing overall bait consumption and allowing for faster population control.
- Non-Bioaccumulative: Cholecalciferol does not accumulate in the food chain, reducing the risk to non-target species.
High Yield: 182 Baits per 8lb Pail
Each BASF Selontra® Rodent Bait Pail contains 182 individual baits, providing enough bait to treat large infestations effectively. The compact and easy-to-place bait blocks can be strategically deployed in critical areas with rodent activity. Combined with the "Stop Feed" action, their effectiveness ensures that you get the most out of each Pail.
- 182 Baits per Pail: A large capacity pail provides enough bait for comprehensive control in more extensive settings.
- Compact and Easy to Place: The baits can be easily positioned in areas with high rodent activity, ensuring maximum effectiveness.
Single Feed and Stop Feed Mode of Action
One of the unique benefits of Selontra® is its Single-Feed and Stop-Feed mode of action. This means that rodents require only a single feeding to ingest a lethal dose. After consuming a small amount of bait, the rodents will stop feeding, which leads to more efficient infestation control. This reduces the overall amount of bait needed to eliminate a rodent population, saving time and resources.
- Single Feed Lethality: Rodents are quickly impacted after consuming the bait, often resulting in death within just a few days.
- Reduced Bait Consumption: Once rodents ingest a lethal dose, they stop eating, leaving more bait available for other pests.
- Rapid Population Control: With its fast-acting formula, Selontra® helps achieve significant reductions in rodent populations in as little as a few days.
Versatile Use in Multiple Settings
Whether you are dealing with rodents in an agricultural facility, warehouse, residential property, or vehicle, Selontra® Rodent Bait is a versatile and reliable option. It is labeled for use in various environments, making it ideal for professionals who need a flexible, high-performing rodent control solution.
Everyday use sites include:
- Agricultural Buildings: Protect crops, livestock, and stored products from destructive rodent activity.
- Warehouses and Industrial Buildings: Ensure the safety and cleanliness of your facilities by eliminating rodent populations quickly and effectively.
- Homes: Safeguard residential properties from the hazards of rodent infestations, particularly in basements, garages, and attics.
- Transport Vehicles: Ideal for use in transportation systems like trains, trucks, and shipping containers to prevent rodents from damaging goods in transit.
Protects Non-Target Animals with Bitrex® Additive
BASF Selontra® Rodent Bait includes Bitrex®, a bittering agent that adds an extra layer of safety by deterring non-target animals from consuming the bait. This makes it safer to use in environments where pets or other wildlife may be present. Although Bitrex® ensures that the bait is less appealing to non-target species, it remains highly effective against the targeted rodent population.
- Bitrex® Safety Feature: Prevents accidental ingestion by non-target animals, adding a layer of protection for household pets and wildlife.
- Minimal Environmental Impact: Using cholecalciferol and the bittering agent ensures that the rodenticide remains targeted and effective while minimizing risks to other animals in the surrounding area.
Final Thoughts
For optimal results with BASF Selontra® Rodent Bait, it is recommended to place bait in areas of known rodent activity, such as near burrows, feeding sites, or along travel paths. Always follow label instructions carefully, ensuring that bait stations are used when required, particularly in sensitive environments like homes and warehouses.
Monitor the bait sites regularly and remove dead rodents to prevent secondary poisoning of non-target animals. Continuous monitoring and baiting are key to achieving complete rodent population control when dealing with large infestations. By integrating Selontra® into your rodent management plan, you can achieve long-lasting control and prevent re-infestations.
