Rodent baits need to be able to withstand rocketing summer temperatures and Liphatech’s soft rodent bait has been shown to stand up to the pressure.<\/em>

Since its launch in 2013, Liphatech\u2019<\/a>s soft rodent bait has built a reputation for helping pest managers gain control of rats and mice in the toughest, and hottest, of situations.<\/p>\n

Gavin Wilson<\/strong>, Lipatech\u2019s technical and marketing manager for\u00a0Australia and New Zealand, believes Generation FirstStrike<\/a> has become a popular rodent bait with pest managers due to its palatability, quick results and its resistance to heat.<\/p>\n

Andy Kraus<\/strong> of Creepy Crawly Pest Control recently used FirstStrike with a new client who was experiencing issues with rodents entering his premises located in\u00a0a local food court, and damaging concealed services within the kitchen area, costing the client thousands of dollars for repairs. Baits that had been previously\u00a0laid were having no impact on the infestation, so Mr Kraus decided\u00a0to load the bait stations with Generation FirstStrike Soft Bait, having had success on previous jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn our next inspection we\u00a0found most of the bait had been consumed,\u201d Mr Kraus said. \u201cThe customer was very pleased. We agreed to establish a routine monthly rodent baiting program\u00a0to achieve and maintain sufficient knockdown of the rodents and also identified and implemented areas where rodent proofing was required. I highly recommend this product.\u201d<\/p>\n

Generation FirstStrike\u2019s resistance to high heat means it won\u2019t melt or crumble and will remain secured inside the bait station.<\/p>\n

Mr Wilson said, \u201cNot only do\u00a0rats and mice find the soft bait matrix irresistible, but its wax-free formulation also withstands extreme hot temperature without melting. Laboratory tests (main picture, above) show Generation FirstStrike withstanding temperatures of 93\u00b0C for 16 hours.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the extreme Australian summer, most wax blocks melt inside\u00a0bait stations. The temperature\u00a0inside bait stations can rise quite dramatically and often leads to blocks melting or crumbling. This poses some problems to the pest manager: firstly, melted baits are easily dragged outside bait stations increasing the risk to non-target species; secondly, it creates an additional housekeeping issue where more time is required on the next service for the pest manager to clean the bait stations.<\/p>\n

\u201cMore time spent on the job cleaning up bait stations costs pest control company money. So, if your current bait can\u2019t handle the summer heat, try Generation FirstStrike,\u201d concluded Mr Wilson.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
