RatAbate Striker 18g, Waxed For Weather Protection

Description

Product features

Save yourself time and effort with this ready-to-use product that effectively controls rats.

One Ratabate Striker = 18g of Ferafeed 213 non-toxic paste with Diphacinone added. This sits in a biodegradable, potato starch bait station on a weatherproof card.

The low risk of secondary poisoning from first generation anticoagulants like Diphacinone makes them a great choice for farm situations and the environmentally conscious.

Use Ratabate Strikers in one-off or short-term pest control situations where you don?t need permanent bait stations. They?re easy to use ? just staple them onto trees or suitable posts or poles.

Active ingredient
