A professional-use cholecalciferol rodenticide is now available for use in open areas and burrows.
It follows a partnership between Bayer and Lodi UK. Bayer national account manager Ken Black said this is the first new product on the market with extensive label usage for a very long time.
Mr Black said: “Harmonix Rodent Paste marks a new era in pest control, and we’re really excited to bring it to the market, at a time when anticoagulants resistance and labels on other products are becoming more restrictive.”
The new product is not persistent or bioaccumulative in the environment. It also has a stop feeding effect. “Initial research shows that 50% less bait is consumed during a rodent campaign, when using this solution,” said Mr Black.
“The stop feeding effect means rodents lose their appetite after a few days, reducing bait intake while offering successful control. This option also has environmental advantages as there’s less rodenticides entering the environment.”
