Rodilon Pro Soft Block Rodenticide 5kg

Rodilon Pro is a soft bait rodenticide that targets rats and mice. Rodilon Pro represents a combination of the most recently developed anti-coagulant active ingredient (difethialone) with arguably the most palatable rodent bait matrix available.

With unrivalled efficacy against both rats and mice this combination makes for a powerful product that can achieve rapid control of all rodent infestations.

Key Features and Benefits of Rodilon Pro Rodenticide

• Contains difethialone – the most recently developed active ingredient for rodent control – in a ‘soft-block’ formulation.
• Highly palatable formulation providing highest level of bait acceptance (trials against both rats and mice show higher levels of consumption than other wax or mini-block formulations).
• ‘Single-feed’ rodenticide – provides rapid results.
• Equally effective against both rats and mice.
• Maximum potency – available only to Professional Pest Control operators.
• Bait matrix is enclosed in a paper sachet, reducing potential handling exposure to the bait, but not limiting efficacy (rodents chew through the sachet).
• Baits can easily be secured in stations (eg. with wire).
• Bait stays attractive and effective even under humid conditions.
• Soft blocks do not disintegrate into small fragments (producing spillage risk) even when gnawed by rodents.
• Contains Bitrex – a human taste deterrent
• Antidote is available

Comments on Application

Difethialone is a powerful anti-coagulant active ingredient which is highly effective at very low doses (compare level of difethialone in Rodilon, 0.025 g/kg; against standard concentrations of brodifacoum in most currently used baits, 0.05 g/kg). However, coupled with its persistency, it can still present a risk of secondary poisoning in non-target animals if label directions are not followed.

Use Rodilon as part of an integrated rodent management programme utilising other non-chemical methods (eg. proofing, elimination of access to other food sources) to assist in achieving sustainable rodent management.

Ensure that any dead rodents are collected during course of treatment (to reduce risk of secondary poisoning). Ensure baits are placed in areas inaccessible to children and domestic animals (due to its very high palatability the bait blocks may be attractive to other animals like dogs).

Active Ingredient Used in Rodilon Pro

Difethialone is a late generation anti-coagulant rodenticide (sometimes referred to as a ‘third generation’ compound) which was researched and patented in 1989 by the French company Liphatech.

Difethialone is a single-feed anti-coagulant and a lethal dose is usually achieved in a day’s feeding. It is more toxic and more persistent than the first generation anticoagulants, such as warfarin and coumatetralyl, and it is formulated at half the concentration (0.025 g/kg vs 0.05 g/kg) of other second generation compounds.

Rodilon Pro Formulation

• Appearance: Rodilon is formulated as a light blue/green soft-block (like putty in texture). The bait contains a blend of fat, sugar and cereal base that rodents can’t resist. 10 gram portions are packed into a porous paper
  sachet (like a tea-bag). Rodents can smell the bait through the sachet.
• Convenience: Rodilon is easy to use as there is no mixing, dust or spillage problems which can be experienced with tracking powders or loose grain baits. Rodilon soft blocks each weigh 10 g, they are packed into a 5 kg square HDPE bucket. Each bucket therefore contains 500 bait blocks.
