Envu announce launch of innovative new rodenticide
Cambridge, 23 September, 2014
This specialised water-based foam formulation is designed for use against both rats and mice. It contains the active ingredient coumatetralyl and will be ideal for use as part of an integrated pestmanagement programme (IPM).
Envu’s Alan Morris explains how, unlike baits which are reliant on palatability for uptake, this product works by using the rodent’s natural grooming habits. “The foam can be placed in areas where the rodents are known to pass, such as access holes, cavity walls and pipeworks. It’s then transferred to the pest’s coat as they brush past and is ingested straight into its blood stream during routine grooming, which is advantageous in limiting non-target species exposure.”He adds that Racumin® Foam offers a perfect solution in circumstances where other food temptations limit bait uptake, or where traditional baiting methods, such as putting the product inside cavity walls, are not possible. “It also provides an ideal replacement for previous contact activity powder formulations, which are no longer available.”
The new rodenticide formulation is a timely development, given the likelihood of future regulatory changes, “Racumin® Foam provides the sector with a solution to address current pressures on second generation rodenticides, especially in sensitive environments. This first generation formulation should be considered as an additional part of a modern IPM approach within the professional pest controller’s armoury,” adds Alan._________________________________________________________
