Vertox Rolled Oat Bait is a ready-for-use bait formulated using rolled oats which are high in sweet natural oils which appeal greatly to mice and are also very attractive to rats. These oils help to increase the palatability of the bait, providing extra calories and a more attractive feed.
Brodifacoum is a single-feed second generation anticoagulant which is effective against rats and mice. In the UK brodifacoum has limited use and is restricted to indoor use only by professionals.
Anticoagulants work by reducing the ability of the rodent’s blood to clot. As with all anticoagulants, accidental poisoning with brodifacoum can be antidoted with Vitamin K1.
When compared with other anticoagulant rodenticides, brodifacoum has an excellent level of activity against the brown rat and house mouse. The ‘farm yard’ profile of brodifacoum is very aggressive, and special care should be taken when using brodifacoum baits.
