The baits contain denatonium benzoate, which makes them extremely bitter hence discouraging ingestion by children and pets. The specific characteristic of denatonium benzoate is that it is not detected by the palate of rodents at concentrations like the one in FACORAT PELLETS. Species that can be controlled FACORAT PELLETS are accepted and consumed by all infesting rodents: rattus norvegicus, rattus rattus, mus musculus. Properties Pellets are marked by good palatability and good value for money. Brodifacoum is the most recent indirect rodenticidal anticoagulant. Its main characteristic is its high toxicity for target animals, which causes rodents’ death after the ingestion of just one feed. Moreover, brodifacoum is also effective against rodents that have grown resistant to other anticoagulants. Based on acute toxicity values against mus musculus, brodifacoum is twice as effective as difenacoum, three times as difethialone and four times as bromadiolone. After ingestion, rodents die without suffering therefore they do not arise suspicion in their fellows, which keep on feeding on the baits. Technical Data Sheet I.N.D.I.A. INDUSTRIE CHIMICHE S.p.A.
