Rat poison product list
All poisons should only be used as a last resort where non-toxic and less-toxic methods have been tried and a significant rodent problem still endangers humans. About safer rodent control.
Below is a buyer’s guide to product names and active ingredients, divided into 1st and 2nd generation (SGARs).
First-generation Poisons – to be used in areas where rats demonstrate little resistance to these chemicals. Bait covering is generally ineffective. High risk of secondary poisoning. However, far less toxic, and metabolises out of the body faster, than SGARs.
