Ratzia® Bag B 25 (blue)

Ready-to-use paste bait for controlling house mice and Norway rats indoors and outdoors (around buildings). Contains the active ingredient brodifacoum (anticoagulant); a single application may be sufficient to kill the mice, the effect usually sets in after approx. 4-10 days. For trained professional users only.

Mode of action

The active ingredient brodifacoum belongs to the group of anticoagulants. It inhibits the blood’s ability to clot and causes internal bleeding. The bait contains a bitter substance that makes the substance unpalatable to humans and pets, thus reducing the risk of accidental ingestion.

Area of application

For the control of house mice and Norway rats indoors and outdoors in the immediate vicinity of buildings (e.g. rodent paths, nesting sites, feeding areas, holes, burrows).

Instructions for use

• Before applying bait, determine the rodents’ preferred locations and assess the cause and extent of the infestation.
• Remove possible food sources and drinking troughs for rodents (e.g. spilled grain, food waste) or make them inaccessible.
• Place baits in the immediate vicinity where rodents have been observed; protect baits from the weather (rain, snow) and do not place them in flooded areas.
• Replace baits if they are soiled or damaged by water; do not open sachets and only use them in tamper-proof bait stations.
• At the start of baiting, check baiting sites at least after the 5th day and then weekly (also applies to measures over 35 days). Search for dead rodents at each inspection visit and dispose of them properly.
• Do not use the product for permanent baiting or for pulse baiting. Once baiting is complete, remove all bait and dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
• To avoid new infestations: Remove food sources or make them inaccessible, remove garbage as shelter, remove vegetation from buildings and close off access points (crevices, holes, cat flaps, drains).
• When applying around buildings: Do not apply the product directly into the soil (e.g. in rodent burrows or holes).

Dosage

• Norway rat: 100-200 g per bait station; place bait stations approx. 5 m apart.
