COMMON TYPES OF COMMENSAL RODENTS

1. House Mouse – Small-bodied, prefers to eat cereals, seeds, fruits, vegetables. and meat. Mice do not need to drink water if the food contains sufficient moisture.
2. Roof Rat – Slender-bodied. Eats grain, seeds, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and eggs. Consumes 15-30 grams of food daily in multiple sites. Nocturnal. Feeding normally takes place half an hour after sunset until half an hour before sunrise.
3. Norway Rat (also known as sewer rat) – Thick-bodied and heavy. It can reach up to 500 grams in weight. Food preferences include meat and fish, cereals, flour, grains, fruits, and vegetables, almost all kinds of human food. Consumes 23-30 grams of food daily. Feeding activity is the same as the roof rat. The Norway Rat is very common in farms worldwide.

RATOKIL is a second-generation anti-coagulant (flocoumafen) which kills rats by preventing the clotting of blood, inducing hemorrhaging and eventual death.

RATOKIL  is made with bait material irresistible to rodents, ensuring that enough amount is eaten instead of being wasted.  Select suitable locations such as active rat holes and along runs. Rodents usually run flush against the wall going from their burrows to their food source. It is recommended that the routine traveling paths of the rodents are first identified and bait stations placed on these areas to make sure the rodents encounter the baits. apart.  Place 10-15 pellets on dry surfaces or in tamper-proof bait stations 3-5 meters apart. For poultry and swine houses, place the bait stations along the outside wall. Place additional bait stations during sanitary breaks. Alternative bait stations can also be made using 3″ diameter PVC pipes fixed flush against the interior or exterior walls. Rodents that eat RATOKIL die in 5-7 days, baits are recommended to be replaced after 7 days to avoid repeat feeding during the first 2-3 days after consumption.

Inspect the bait location after 3 days, if there is no feeding then relocate baits or trays to other places where rodent activity exists. Refresh baits 7 days after the initial application.

RATOKIL has been proven to control rodent population in all settings – agricultural, food processing, residential, etc. Tests show that rodents prefer to eat the RATOKIL bait even if this is placed beside their usual food such as animal or human food. Furthermore, the pellet formulation ensures that leftover bait is not carried by the rodents to their burrows after eating their fill.

This product is toxic to fish, birds, and wildlife. This product can pose a secondary hazard to birds of prey and mammals. Keep the unused product in original container – tightly closed. Rodents are known to gnaw through plastic bags with RATOKIL due to its attractiveness.

IMPORTANT:
– Do not expose children, pets, or other nontarget animals to rodenticides.
– Store product not in use in a location out of reach of children and pets.
– Apply bait in a location out of reach of children, pets, domestic animals, and non-target wildlife, or in tamper-proof bait stations.

RATOKIL is in wax pellet formulation and the contents of the bait station cannot be carried away by rodents because of their small size. At most, a rodent can only carry one pellet, leaving the uneaten ones behind for other rodents to eat. RATOKIL also contains a bittering agent that makes it unpalatable to non-target organisms, especially humans.
