Aratam-concentrate

Chemical composition and properties

This rodenticide is intended to prepare preparative forms against gray rats, house mice and common voles in installations of various types. Used by agencies dealing with disinfection and deratization.

Aratam-concentrate is oily liquid pink difenacin-based 0.5% concentrate. The product also contains functional additives such as bitter principle (bitrex), colorant, solvent and vegetable oil.

Recommendations for use

Use to prepare rodenticide 0.008% food bait. Preparation: mix 18 ml of liquid Aratam-concentrate and 1000 g of food base. Also add attractants to a bait (such as sunflower oil, flour etc.).

Locate finished rodenticide baits in baiting units (plastic containers, boxes, beds, cartons) or on trays made of thick paper, polyethylene and plastic. Place baits in inhabitation of rats, mice and voles. Indoor location: place containers with bait on rodent motion paths (in corners, along the walls and non-load-bearing partitions, under furniture and near holes) - 50-100 g for gray rats and 20-50 g for mice and voles.

Depending on premise surface, dirtiness, rodent number and type, a distance between lay out points is 1-5 m. Due to high number of rodents, bait is located by small portions on frequent occasions.

Control palatability and status of placed bait in 2 days after the first lay out. Then control it weekly. Replace product portions by new ones according to eating or contamination. Stop control and lay out of the product if it remains intact everywhere for a long time suggesting rodent disappearance.
