Frequently Asked Questions – Rodenticides

These are chemical or biological substances intended to destroy, control, or deter rodents such as mice, rats, voles, and other harmful species. They are widely used both in agriculture and in domestic and industrial settings to protect people, animals, crops, and facilities from the damage rodents can cause.

Signs include gnaw marks, droppings, noises at night, or the presence of nests.

Rodenticides are usually baits in the form of a paste that cause the death of rodents after ingestion, typically within a few days.

Most rodenticides are safe for pets because they contain a bittering agent that tastes unpleasant. However, there is still a risk of accidental ingestion, so always use dedicated bait stations or place the bait in areas inaccessible to pets. We advise you to carefully read the label of each product before use, which is available on the product page and can be downloaded as a PDF document under the "Documents" section.

The time varies from 1 to 7 days, depending on the product and the amount ingested.

Contact a veterinarian immediately and show them the packaging or the document available in the “Documents” section of the product you used. You can find it on the product page and download it as a PDF document.

Check if there are signs of consumption. If there are none, you may need to move the bait to a more active area of the premises.

Alternatives include glue boards, glue traps, custom-made sticky surfaces, or live traps.

Seal all holes and openings in your home, and keep food and garbage in tightly closed containers.

Some rodents can become suspicious of poisons. In such cases, it is recommended to change the type of bait.

Use rodenticides in special bait stations to prevent contact with other animals.
