USE AND LIMITATIONS
BUILDINGS: Place out in tablespoonful
quantities at intervals where rodents are
active. Expose along walls, in corners and
concealed places where mice can feed
undisturbed. Bait placements should be
inaccessible to children, pets or domestic
animals or exposed in tamperproof bait boxes.
Collect and destroy uneaten baits at the end
of 72 hours. Do not retreat with zinc
phosphide for 30 days.
Mix directly with bait materials at the rate
of 1 to 4 parts by weight. Expose according
to the instructions given above.
Mix toxicant with fresh bait materials, such
as, corn meal, fish, meat, fruit, etc. at the
rate of 1 ounce per 6 pounds. Do not use
foods which will be attractive to children,
such as, candy, cookies, nuts, etc. Expose
as per instructions above.
ORCHARDS: Bait in fall right after harvest
and before leaf fall. Pick up drops if
feasible. Treat on warm, clear days.
Retreatment may be necessary if heavy rains
follow soon after baiting or if mice move
into the area later in the season. From the
standpoint of birds and other wildlife, hand
placement directly into runways and under
cover is the preferred method.
Handbaiting; Treat 2-4 spots with
teaspoonful quantities of bait around the
dripline of each tree. Pay particular
attention to low areas, rock outcrops,
fence rows and orchard borders. Bait
should be placed near holes to underground
burrows or in active runways and under
vegetation or artificial covers. Apply at
the rate of 2-3 pounds per acre. Preferred
method for concentration of 1% and less.

USE AND LIMITATIONS
Machine baiting: Use modified corn planter,
setting plates to drop one kernal per inch
in a line just inside the dripline on both
sides of the trees. Apply at the rate of
3-6 pounds per acre. With a trailbuilder
machine, drop teaspoonful of bait at 4-5
foot intervals in the artificial trail made
by the machine just inside the drip line on
both sides of the trees. Apply at the rate
of 2-3 pounds per acre.
Broadcast baiting: Spread bait evenly by
hand, cyclone seeder or aircraft. Concentrate
on areas with heaviest vegetative cover.
Avoid broadcasting on bare ground or on
growing crops. Apply at the rate of 6-10
pounds per acre.
Dust one level teaspoonful of the toxicant
over one quart of 1/2 inch apple cubes or
other fresh bait. Tumble in bucket to
distribute chemical evenly over the bait
surfaces. Make 2-4 bait placements per tree
into active runways under natural or
artificial covers. Do not disturb the runways.
Mix with cracked corn at the rate of 2 pounds
of toxicant to 100 pounds of bait. Apply
according to the instructions under 0.92-2%
bait as given above.
FORESTS, FORAGE CROPS AND NURSERIES: The
above methods with slight modifications can
be used on these sites. Broadcasting,
however, is generally the most practical
method.
0.92% BUILDINGS: Tablespoonful quantities of bait
(bait) are put out in protected bait boxes around
barns, apple storages, etc. These bait boxes
should be secured from children, pets and
domestic animals.

After prebaiting with clean bait for 3-4
days (this is not necessary when placing
bait directly into burrows) to determine
preferred sites, dust concentrate on cut
pieces of root vegetable or apple baits at
the rate of 54.1 grams per 10 pounds of
bait materials. Shake to distribute toxicant
over the exposed bait surfaces. Place baits
into burrows, on floating rafts (4x4 feet)
or bait boards (6x6 inches). The latter
are anchored on the water beyond the reach
of cattle and nontarget wildlife. Trail
baiting can be done where raft baiting is
not successful. Consult with state and
local authorities for permission to control
these animals by this method.
Peel and cut carrots or sweet potatoes into
3/4 x 3 inch lengths. Sprinkle 1/2 ounce of
toxicant over 4 quarts of bait. Probe into
runways and put one bait per runway. Cover
opening to exclude light and loose dirt.

USE AND LIMITATIONS
Tablespoon amounts (1/4 to 1/2 ounce) of
bait should be placed at 8 to 12 foot
intervals. Place baits in locations where
mice feed, water or travel along walls, in
corners and in concealed places. An
uninterrupted supply of bait should be
maintained for at least 15 days or until
all signs of rodent activity have stopped.
If these bait sites are accessible to
children, pets or domestic animals, they
should be kept in tamperproof boxes.
Replace contaminated or exhausted bait
within 24 hours. Where a continuous source
of infestation is present, permanent bait
stations should be established and the bait
replenished as needed. Baits should be
picked up and disposed of upon completion of
rodent control program.
Mix 1 part by weight to 19 parts of bait
materials, such as, ground corn, oats or
other grains. The addition of up to 5%
sugar and up to 5% oil may increase the
acceptance of the bait and improve the
mixing quality. Expose bait as above.
Reformulating use only.
Cereal bait impregnated with paraffin is
used in sewers, outdoor placements or other

bait would rapidly spoil. Paraffin baits
should not be used to replace other baits in

rate of 1 pound per acre based on the total
area to be protected. Repeat after a heavy
rain or when bait becomes depleted. Three or
four treatments may be necessary when bird

URBAN ROOSTS AND AGRICULTURAL AREAS:
Prebaiting with untreated grains (corn chops,
sorghum, wheat or mixed grains) of essentially
the same composition as the finished bait is
usually essential. Amount exposed should be
limited and scattered to minimize damage to
nontarget species and to obtain maximum
results on the target species with minimal
loss of birds. Repeat treatment until the
desired density of birds is obtained.

USE AND LIMITATIONS
For shallow ponds, lakes and reservoirs,
disperse within top 5 feet of water level
with a seed spreader. One package (8 Ibs.
4 oz.) will treat 30 acre-feet* at 1 ppb.
Actual rate depends upon species of fish,
temperature and quality of the water.
For upper layer of deep lakes and channels
that do not exceed 15-20 feet in depth,
disperse with a spreader at the rate of 7
pounds to 127 acre-feet* to give a 1 ppb
concentration.
For running streams and very shallow waters,
apply with sprayer or drip stations in
running streams to a depth of 2-3 feet.
Five gallons treats 38 acre-feet* of water
at 1 ppb.
*ACRE-FOOT: Unit of volume of a body of water having the area of one acre
and a depth of one foot. To determine acre feet in a body of water, make
a series of transects across the water body taking depth measurements with
a measured pole or weighed line. Add the soundings and divide by the
number made to determine the average depth. Multiply this average depth
by the total surface to find the acre feet to be treated.

ESTABLISHED HARBORAGE: To repel rodents
from burrows and established harborages
dilute 1 part repellent with 10 parts of

burrow for 8-10 inches. Close burrow

about 60 psi pressure and at the rate of 2

buried cable. Depending upon soil conditions,
50 gallons of solution will treat about one
mile of cable in the trench. Use sufficient
spray to treat a 2-inch area of soil
immediately surrounding the cable. Increase
the soil treatment area as the cable is

Refer to directions
TEMPORARY BARRIERS: To make a temporary
barrier for closing small openings, saturate
absorbent material such as grain sacks with
the repellent solution. Let dry. Cut and
wedge tightly into opening. For larger sized
openings, cut fiber or wood boards to size
and spray both sides with repellent solution,
particularly on the edges most subject to

water, make a series of transects across the water body taking depths
with a measured pole or weighted line. Add the soundings and divide by
the number made to determine the average depth. Multiply this average

sharp stick at 10-foot intervals and drop
several particles of bait into the probe
hole. Cover probe hole so as to exclude
light and loose dirt. Roll turf a week
later and retreat any active runways. On
deep runways dig center of dirt plug out
from conical mounds. Drop several baits into
the runway and cover as above.
BULB PROTECTION: In fall plantings, pack
1/4 inch of dirt around the bulb and put
several baits around the sides before
planting in the ground.
HANDBAITING: Remove earth plug from lateral
tunnels on fresh mounds. Insert tablespoon
quantity of bait in main runway with
longhandled spoon. Cover opening so as to
exclude light and loose dirt. The main
runway can also be located by probing with
a stick or metal rod about 8-18 inches
back from the plug mark in the mound. When
runway is found, enlarge hole to put in bait
and cover as before. After 48 hours, scrape
over mounds and retreat those still active.
One pound will treat 5 to 8 acres.
BURROW BUILDER: On extensive areas use a
"burrow builder" machine to make artificial
burrows 20 feet apart across the field at
the same depth as the natural burrows.
Drop baits mechanically at 9-12 inch
intervals in these tunnels. One to 2 pounds
will treat 1 acre by this method.
