Rat poison is one of the most popular forms of rodent control. If you have a rat infestation it is very important that you tackle the problem quickly and effectively – even if you’ve only seen small indicators that you have unwanted visitors.

The use of poison is seen as the best way to deal with a rat problem. We are pleased to supply a range of mouse and rat control products at Collins Nets.

The Importance of Controlling Rats

Rats can carry various diseases which are harmful to humans and other animals, including leptospirosis, hantavirus and salmonellosis. Controlling rats ensures that you reduce the risk of these diseases spreading – protecting public health.

Rats are known to gnaw through most materials – causing damage to property that can lead to costly repairs. This particularly becomes a major health and safety risk when rats gnaw through electrical wires. Damage to electronics can cause fires, which poses are serious threat to life and property. Investing in rat poison means you get ahead of the potential problem and prevent your home, business or infrastructure getting damaged.

Destruction caused by rats can also have an ecological impact – which can be particularly damaging to farmers and those with land. Rats often destroy vegetation. We recommend that farmers protect their crops by controlling rats efficiently. If you are rearing livestock and game birds it is very important that you get ahold of the problem early.

Single Feed Grain is an extremely efficient rat control solution. Just a single ingestion eliminates rats, which removes the risk of bait shyness!

Reduced bait consumption means you need less grain in order to achieve your goal – making it very cost efficient! Single Feed poison also makes monitoring the success of your distribution much easier. If rats continue to thrive after distributing Single Feed grain then this is an indication that you could reassess your method and consider switching to another rat control solution. If normal ingestion isn’t working, why not try Racumin Foam? This is an aerosol that coats rats – taking advantage of their grooming behaviours by promoting ingestion this way. Because its not a bait it doesn’t rely on palatability!
