NO Mice Difend Soft Bait SDS

Preparation:

1. Read and follow the product information as well as any information accompanying the product or provided at the point of sale before using it.
2. Where possible, prior to the treatment, inform any bystanders (e.g. users of the treated areas and their surroundings) about the rodent control campaign.
3. Consider preventative control measures (e.g. plug holes, remove potential food and drink as far as possible) to improve product intake and reduce the likelihood of re–invasion.
4. Carry out a pre–baiting survey of the infested area and an on–site assessment in order to identify the rodent species, their places of activity and determine the likely cause and the extent of the infestations. The frequency of visits to the treated area should be at the discretion of the operator, in the light of the survey conducted at the outset of treatment.

Baiting Strategy:

1. Eliminate as much as practical, all alternative food sources.
2. Locate baits under cover, along walls or rafters and in dark sheltered areas where there are signs of rodent activity. Place baits in bait stations like NO Rats One Feed Bait Station or NO Mice One Feed Bait Station*.
   1. For mice: Use up to 45gm (1 – 3 bait sachets) in a bait station placed 5m apart, or 2m apart for high infestations.
   2. For rats: Use up to 195gm (2 – 13 bait sachets) in a bait station placed 10m apart reducing to 5m apart for high infestations.
3. Record location and number of bait stations to assist in checking and later removal.
4. Inspect baits regularly.
   1. For mice: The bait stations should be visited at least every 2 – 3 days at the beginning of the treatment and at least weekly afterwards, in order to check whether the bait is accepted, the bait stations are intact and to remove rodent bodies. Refill bait when necessary.
   2. For rats: The bait stations should be visited only 5 – 7 days after the beginning of the treatment and at least weekly afterwards, in order to check whether the bait is accepted, the bait stations are intact and to remove rodent bodies. Refill bait when necessary.
5. Replace baits every 7 days until no more is taken. If baits are ingested more quickly then replace baits more frequently.
6. Baiting for at least 2 weeks will be necessary to reduce rodent numbers.
7. Ensure untaken baits are removed and safely disposed of when rodent activity has ceased.

*Some bait stations like NO Mice One Feed Bait Stationcome pre–filled with bait at purchase.

• Read instructions thoroughly before use.
• Do not use this product in pulsed baiting treatments. Protect bait from atmospheric conditions. 
• Do not use in areas where resistance to the active substance is suspected.
• Permanent baiting is strictly limited to sites with a high potential for re–invasion when other methods of control have proven insufficient. The permanent baiting strategy shall be periodically reviewed in the context of integrated pest management (IPM) and the assessment of the risk for re–infestation.*
• When using the product do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash hands and directly exposed skin after using the product. Avoid skin contact by wearing gloves and / or washing hands and exposed skin after handling.
• May damage fertility, the unborn child or cause damage to blood system through repeated oral exposure.
• May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life. Avoid contamination of any water supply with product or empty container.
• Do not lay baits in places accessible to children, pets, domestic animals, livestock or birds. Do not lay baits in bush area where stock or feral animals have access to baits. Dispose of any carcasses by burial or by wrapping in paper, placing in a plastic bag and putting in the rubbish.
• Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
• Store in original container tightly closed and in a locked, dry, cool area away from direct sunlight and foodstuffs.
• Please follow cautionary labels and safety instructions located on the product packaging.

*Sites under a permanent baiting regime should be inspected regularly in accordance with product label directions. The period between visits should be determined by the technician in charge but will not be longer than every four weeks when permanent baiting is conducted outdoors. If after a treatment period of 35 days baits continue to be consumed and no decline in rodent activity is observed, the likely cause must be determined. Where other elements have been excluded, it is likely that there are resistant rodents so consider the use of a non–anticoagulant rodenticide, where available, or a more potent anticoagulant rodenticide. Also consider the use of traps as an alternative control measure.

Safe disposal of containers and chemicals

Safe storage of home and garden products

• Read instructions thoroughly before use and retain instructions label for future reference.
• Use as part of 1–2–3 Rodent Control Programme.
• Remove food which is readily attainable for rodents e.g. spilled grain or food waste. Apart from this, do not clean up the infested area just before the treatment, as this only disturbs the rodent population and makes bait acceptance more difficult to achieve. 
• The product should be placed in the immediate vicinity of placers where rodent activity has previously occurred e.g. rodent runs, nesting sites, holes, burrows etc.
• Baits must be placed to minimise the exposure to non–target species and children. If bait uptake is low relative to the apparent size of the infestation, consider the replacement of bait points to further places and the possibility to change to another bait formulation. The product should only be used as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) system, including, amongst others, hygiene measures and, where possible, physical methods of control.
• For outdoor use, baiting points must be covered and placed in strategic sites to minimise exposure to non–target species.
• Place the baiting points in areas not liable to flooding. When placing bait points close to surface waters (e.g. rivers, ponds, water channels, dykes, irrigation ditches) or water drainage systems, ensure that bait contact with water is avoided. Bait stations must be clearly labelled to
  show they contain rodenticides and that they must not be moved or opened.
• Where possible, bait stations must be fixed to the ground or other structures. Bait should be secured so that it cannot be dragged away from the bait station.
• Do not wash the bait stations or utensils used in covered and protected bait points with water between applications.
• Place the product out of the reach of children, birds, pets and farm animals and other non–target animals. Place the product away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs, as well as from utensils or surfaces that have contact with these.
• Using this product should eliminate rodents within 35 days. In case of suspected lack of efficacy by the end of the treatment (i.e. rodent activity is still observed), advice should be sought from the product supplier or a professional pest control service. Products shall not be used beyond 35 days without an evaluation of the state of the infestation and of the efficacy of the treatment.
• Do not rotate the use of different anticoagulants with comparable or weaker potency for resistance management purposes. For rotational use, consider using a non–anticoagulant rodenticide, if available, or a more potent anticoagulant.
• To reduce risk of secondary poisoning, search for and remove dead rodents during treatment at frequent intervals.
• Use rodenticide baits in conjunction with bait stations like NO Rats One Feed Bait Station or NO Mice One Feed Bait Station.
• A DIY Bait Station can also be made from a 600mm piece of downpipe. It will protect rodenticide bait from weather exposure and non–target animals. Bait can be fixed in place in the middle of the station using a wire through the centre of the pipe. Ensure that the pipe is placed securely where rodents will travel; usually against and wall, fence or other vertical surface.
