Bayer launches powerful second generation rodenticide with no known rodent resistance
For farmers everywhere who are battling rats and mice resistant to existing rodenticides there is now a new solution. Bayer Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience will be launching a pioneering new single feed, second generation rodenticide at Cereals 2011. Rodilon is the new revolutionary rodenticide from Bayer with four highly palatableformulations ideal for every indoor situation.
Containing the first new active ingredient to be introduced to the UK in over 20 years, Difethialone, which is exclusive to Bayer in the UK, Rodilon will control rodents that are resistant to the active ingredients bromadiolone and difenacoum. Highly palatable, Rodilon is effective after just one feed.
Our focus is always on innovating and bringing new solutions to market, explained Bayer Environmental Science product manager, Claire Matthewman. Containing a second generation pioneering active ingredient, Rodilon is a radical new and highly effective solution for controlling rats and mice, in particular those ones that have developed a resistance to the existing options available.
Bayer Environmental Science has created four convenient and extremely palatable baiting formulations of Rodilon. Two of the products, Rodilon Wheat Tech and Rodilon Trio benefit from a unique Turbo Impregnation manufacturing processthat infuses the active ingredient right to the core of the bait. Not only does this offer superior rat and mouse control but it also means the farmer is subjected to minimal risk fromdust.
Developed specifically for the control of mice, Rodilon Trio incorporates oats, sunflower seeds and maize, which are known to be particularly palatable to mice. Despite mice removing the husk of the grain before eating, the process of Turbo Impregnation ensures that the core still contains the active ingredient.
Ideal for rat control, Rodilon Wheat Tech uses the highest quality wholewheat grain making it extremely palatable and increases consumption. It is perfect for difficult to control infestations throughout a wide range of indoor farm baiting situations.
Also particularly suited to rats, Rodilon Blocks are moisture and mould resistant which makes them the perfect bait for hot and damp conditions. With multiple edges, the Blocks are designed specifically to encourage rodents to gnaw and feed on them. Rodilon Blocks are an ideal choice if spillage or contamination risks are a concern.
Rodilon Soft Blocks are suitable for mice and rats and are an excellent choice where there are other food options available. Containing high food grade ingredients in pre-measured sachets, Rodilon Soft Blocks offers the added benefits of no direct contact to the farmer and ease of handling.
Available in a range of pack sizes, Rodilon will be available from July 2011 in all good agricultural merchants and country supplies stores.
