Dr. Stähler Vole bait Ratzia, 100 g

Dr. Stähler Vole Bait Ratzia

Dr. Stähler Vole Bait RATZIA acts quickly and safely against voles (also known as water voles).

Vole Bait RATZIA combines a well-tried active ingredient with a proven, freeze-dried carrot-based bait. Soil moisture causes the bait to swell, making it particularly attractive to voles, just like fresh carrots. Due to this bait quality, year-round application is possible. To avoid risks to humans and the environment, follow the instructions for use.

Application: Open vole holes in a few places. With the help of the cap, insert bait as deep as possible into the passages. The measuring cell in the cap holds 5 g. Place the bait under cover, cover the passage opening with a tuft of grass, a stone slab or similar.

Zinc phosphide baits such as the vole bait Ratzia develop their effect like all poison baits by the fact that the voles are attracted by an attractive bait shape (e.g. carrots) and eat the bait.

The effect is caused by the release of hydrogen phosphide from the ingested zinc phosphide in the stomach of the animals. This only happens because of the very acidic stomach environment. The hydrogen phosphide is absorbed through the digestive tract of the rodents, enters the cells and has a toxic effect on the respiratory and energy metabolism. The respiratory enzyme is blocked and the mitochondria are damaged. In the process, no hydrogen phosphide is released into the environment, since, on the one hand, only very small amounts of active ingredient are required to kill the rodents during oral ingestion and, on the other hand, the hydrogen phosphide is rapidly degraded in the tissues of the animals even after their death.

Areas of application: Voles or water voles

Areas and conditions of use specified by the regulatory authority.

Application area Application quantity Application time Waiting time

Vegetable crops (outdoor) 5 g/8-10 m aisle length in case of infestation, all year round (F)

Fruit crops (open field) 5 g/8-10 m aisle length in case of infestation, all year round (F)

Ornamental crops (field) 5 g/8-10 m aisle length in case of infestation, all year round (N)

Grapevine (table and wine grapes) 5 g/8-10 m aisle length in case of infestation, all year round (F)

Waiting period : The waiting period is covered by the application conditions and/or vegetation period remaining between application and use (e.g. harvest) or the fixing of a waiting period in days is not necessary (F). The fixing of a waiting period is of no importance (N).

Additional instructions for use: Dr. Stähler vole bait RATZIA acts quickly and reliably.

Maximum one application in the crop or per year.

Moles must not be controlled with the product.

Vole infestation can be recognised by the flat heaps of earth and the tunnels running just below the surface of the earth, which are highly oval in cross-section (cross-oval in the case of moles). Keep pets away, make sure they do not get to the bait.
