Selontra® Soft Bait

The Speed Baiting procedure:

• Thoroughly inspect the site to identify the nature and size of the rodent infestation.
• Use sufficient baiting points to address the size of the infestation.
• Use the maximum amount of bait per label instructions at each baiting point.
• Inspect each baiting point the very next day. Replenish any eaten bait, topping up to the label maximum quantity.
• Full control of the infestation can be possible within 7 days

• To reduce the risk of primary poisoning, Selontra must be used within lockable bait stations which include bait securing rods.
• The recommended placement of bait points is no greater than 9 metres apart for rats and no greater than 3 metres apart for mice, on initial application.
• Place bait points around structures with particular focus on areas where evidence of rat/mouse activity is seen. It is also recommended to place a baiting point on each side of every doorway where rodents are likely to enter.
• Within buildings baits should be placed either around individual pens or in elevated areas where rodents are known to travel. Once rodents establish within piggery buildings a more intensive baiting strategy (stations placed at 5-6m spacings) may be required as rodents do not need to move as far to fine resources.
• Bait points may also be placed throughout the piggery facility in areas frequented by rodents (between buildings, around grain storage silos, along wind breaks and in vegetated areas) and along perimeter fencelines to minimise rodents colonising your facility from external sources
• The recommended number of Selontra bait blocks to be used per bait point is between 3-9 for rats and 1-2 for mice. For severe infestations, use the highestrecommended number of bait blocks. Refer to package labelling for specific baiting instructions that may apply to your location.
• Selontra® may control rodent populations in as little as 7 days, provided that sufficient bait for the size of the infestation is placed on the first day of treatment. For large infestations, inspect all bait points 1-2 days after the first bait placement.
• If bait is completely consumed at a bait point, re-apply bait. In such situations, using the highest label rate of 9 bait blocks per bait location for rats or 2 blocks per bait location for mice is recommended to ensure bait is maintained at that location.
• If no bait has been consumed at a bait point for an extended period of time, consider moving that bait point to another location. These strategies will ensure optimum control in the shortest time
• Continue to inspect bait points regularly, maintaining bait in stations. Note that if an insufficient amount of bait is used at any time of the treatment, suboptimal results may occur. Continue placing bait as needed.
• Long-term rodent management is achieved only with a continued, well-managed program. It is therefore imperative that a complete rodent control program with adequate site inspection, site hygiene, harbourage reduction, rodent-proofing, and baiting measures is maintained year-round.
• Containers that have held bait should not be used for any other purpose. Break, crush or puncture empty containers and deliver to an approved waste management facility.
• If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury empty containers at least 1/2 meter below soil surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose. The area should be clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and ,tree roots, and in compliance with state, territory and ,local guidelines, regulations, ordinances and ,laws. Do not burn empty containers or product.
• Collect and dispose of all dead rodents and unconsumed bait in accordance with state, territory and local guidelines, regulations, ordinances and laws.
