6-21. IDENTIFICATION
Rodenticide bait, anticoagulant, is ready-to-use bait. It contains an anticoagulant
chemical, roiled oats, sugar, and mineral oil to increase its acceptability. A red dye has
been added to distinguish it from human food. The item is used directly from its
container without further mixing.
6-22. PREPARATION/USE
Rodenticide, anticoagulant, universal concentrate is a concentrate that can be mixed
with food bait or with water.
a.. It consists of a water-soluble anticoagulant chemical, sugar to make water
solutions more palatable, sodium benzoate as a preservative, and a complexing agent
to hold the anticoagulant in solution.
b. Glass, plastic, or paper water-holding containers may be used for dispensing.
Poisoned water is especially effective where water is scarce.
c. The use of poisoned water and poisoned baits simultaneously will increase
the effectiveness of the control program.
