Bayer launches new rodenticide with no known resistance

For pest control operators and farmers everywhere who are battling rats and mice resistant to existing rodenticides there is now a new solution.  Bayer Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience, has launched a pioneering new single feed, second generation rodenticide.

Containing the first new active substance to be introduced to the UK in over 20 years, Difethialone, which is exclusive to Bayer in the UK, Rodilon will control rodents that are resistant to the active substance bromadiolone and difenacoum.  Highly palatable, Rodilon is effective after just one feed.

“Our focus is always on innovating and bringing new solutions to market,” explained Bayer Environmental Science product manager, Claire Matthewman.  “Containing a second generation pioneering active substance, Rodilon is a radical new and highly effective solution for controlling rats and mice, in particular those ones that have developed a resistance to the existing options available.”

Bayer Environmental Science has created four convenient and extremely palatable baiting formulations of Rodilon.  Two of the products, Rodilon Wheat Tech and Rodilon Trio benefit from a unique ‘Turbo Impregnation’ manufacturing process that infuses the active substance right to the core of the bait.  Not only does this offer superior rat and mouse control but it also means that the operator is subjected to minimal risk from dust.
