Dr. Stähler Vole gas-CC 250 g - to scare away moles and voles

Vole Gas-CC 250 g

Mode of action:

WÜHLMAUSGAS CC is an approved plant protection product whose effectiveness has been tested and proven. Due to the reaction with the soil moisture, gases are produced which have an unbearable odour for the animals and cause them to leave the infested areas. The agent is not suitable for killing the pests. Re-migration must be expected.

Application:

Locate the passage system with a search stick. By carefully opening the burrows, it can be checked whether the burrow systems are inhabited. If the passages are restored after approx. 1-2 hours or if they are choked with soil, pests are present. Then insert the ready-to-use bags per passage.

Application rate:

5 g for voles (equivalent to 1 bag) or 20 g for moles (equivalent to 4 bags) per burrow into the opened passage. Immediately cover the hole with a suitable object (tuft of grass, wood, stone, earth) but do not tread on it, so that the acetylene gas produced by soil moisture can completely penetrate the tunnels. The residue formed after dissolution of the product is harmless fertilizer lime.

AREAS AND CONDITIONS OF USE SPECIFIED BY THE APPROVAL AUTHORITY:

• Application by non-professional users permitted.

Field of Application:

For the deterrence of voles/ weevils and moles in arable farming as well as on meadows and pastures, in vegetable, fruit and ornamental plant cultivation. Can be used in the open all year round after the onset of infestation.

Bees are not endangered due to the use of the product as specified in the authorisation (B3).

The agent is very toxic for birds and game, therefore always apply deep and inaccessible into the passages of the animals to be controlled.

Active ingredient: 800 g/kg (80%) calcium carbide

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:

When exposed to air or moisture, phosphane, an odorless gas that is very toxic and corrosive to humans and animals, is highly flammable as well as spontaneously combustible in air, is evolved. Occasionally, a garlicky, fishy or carbide-like odor is emitted from impurities. This odour alone is not a reliable indication of phosphane, as it is readily adsorbed by soil and other materials and often only occurs above health limits. The package or sub-package (sachet) may only be opened in the open air and it is essential that it is completely consumed in one operation. The agent may only be applied in the open air, but not under or near buildings, in order to avoid the penetration of the resulting gas into the buildings. Do not apply the agent in rain, heavy fog or very wet ground. Causes severe burns to the skin and severe eye damage. May irritate the respiratory tract. Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling product. Wear protective gloves/ protective clothing (long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes) /eye protection/face protection when applying/ handling product. The guideline for the requirements for personal protective equipment in plant protection "Personal protective equipment when handling plant protection products" of the Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety must be observed.
