Active Ingredient: 0.05 g/kg difenacoum (contains denatonium benzoate bittering agent)
Chemical Schedule: S6
APVMA Reg. No: 69911
For use on: Brown or Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and mice, including strains resistant to other anticoagulants
Restraints: DO NOT place blocks in the open. DO NOT place blocks in locations accessible to children and domestic animals.
For use in and around industrial, commercial, agricultural, public-service and domestic buildings, in damp or dry situations. Mice: 1 block per bait point, with bait points not more than 3 m apart. Brown or Norway rats: 5–10 blocks per bait point, with bait points not more than 9 m apart.
Eliminate other food sources as far as practicable. Weather-resistant, lockable bait stations are recommended wherever possible; alternatively use suitable containers or stations made from drainpipes or boxes. The central hole in each block allows it to be fixed, nailed or wired in place to prevent rodents carrying the bait away. Try not to touch the bait, as this deters rats and mice from eating it.
Inspect baits frequently, particularly in the first ten days. Replace eaten bait and increase the quantity if a bait point is completely consumed. Continue replenishing until bait is left untouched — at least 2 weeks of baiting will be necessary. More than one feed may be required; death generally occurs 4–10 days after the bait is consumed, and may take up to 2 weeks.
Use is restricted to in and around buildings (within 2 metres) or within enclosed spaces. Search for and collect dead rats and mice, and burn or bury the carcasses — do not place them in refuse bins. Wear rubber gloves when handling remaining bait or carcasses. Remove all bait and bait stations once rodent activity has ceased.

- Ideal for burrow and outdoor baiting: the blocks are made for damp situations, and the central hole lets you nail or wire them in place so rodents cannot carry them off.
- Works on resistant rodents: difenacoum is effective against strains resistant to some other anticoagulants, but it is a multi-feed bait — keep bait available continuously rather than baiting once.
- Don't handle the blocks: use a scoop or wear elbow-length rubber gloves. Human scent on the bait deters feeding, and repeated minor exposure can have a cumulative effect.
- Protect non-target animals: the bait is hazardous to pigs, cats, dogs, poultry, birds and wildlife. Where possums or other non-target animals are about, secure blocks inside proper bait stations.
- Antidote: vitamin K1 (phytomenadione). If poisoning occurs, call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 and have the label or SDS with you.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
