Decimax Soft Bait Rodenticide

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

READ THIS LABEL: Read this entire label and follow all use directions and use precautions. Use only for the sites, pests, and application methods described on this label.

IMPORTANT: Do not expose children, pets, or non-target animals to rodenticides. To help to prevent accidents:

1. Store unused product out of reach of children and pets.
2. Apply bait in locations out of reach of children, pets, domestic animals and non-target wildlife, or in tamper-resistant bait stations. These stations must be resistant to destruction by dogs and by children under six years of age, and must be used in a manner that prevents such children from reaching into bait compartments and obtaining bait. If bait can be shaken from bait stations when they are lifted, units must be secured or otherwise immobilized. Even stronger bait stations are needed in areas open to hoofed livestock, raccoons, bears, or other potentially destructive animals, or in areas prone to vandalism.
3. Dispose of product container and unused, spoiled, or unconsumed bait as specified on this label.

Note: Bait stations are mandatory for outdoor, above-ground use. Tamper-resistant bait stations must be used if children, pets, non-target mammals, or birds may access the bait.

USE RESTRICTIONS

This product can only be used to control Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus), Roof rats (Rattus rattus), House mice (Mus musculus), Cotton rat* (Sigmodon hispidus), Eastern harvest mouse* (Reithrodontomys humuli), Golden mouse* (Ochrotomys nuttalli), Meadow vole* (Microtus pennsylvanicus), Mexican woodrat*(Neotoma Mexicana), Polynesian rat* (Rattus exulans), Southern plains woodrat* (Neotoma micropus) and White throated woodrat* (Neotoma albugula) in and around 100 feet of agricultural buildings and man-made agricultural structures constructed in a manner so as to be vulnerable to commensal rodent invasions and/or to harboring or attracting rodent infestations. Fence and perimeter baiting, beyond 100 feet from an agricultural structure as defined above, is prohibited. This product must not be applied directly to food or feed crops. Do not broadcast bait. Burrow baiting with DeciMax Soft Bait is prohibited.

Do not sell this product in individual containers holding less than 8 pounds of bait.

*Not permitted for use against the following in California: Cotton rat, Eastern harvest mouse, Golden mouse, Meadow vole, Mexican woodrat, Polynesian rat, Southern plains woodrat, and White throated woodrat.

SELECTION OF TREATMENT AREAS: Determine areas where rats, mice and meadow voles* will most likely find and consume the bait. Generally, these areas are along walls, by gnawed openings, beside burrows, in corners and concealed places, between floors and walls, or in locations where signs of rats or house mice have been seen. Protect bait from rain and snow. Remove as much alternative food as possible.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:

Each bag of DeciMax Soft Bait contains approximately 0.35 ounces (10.00 grams) of bait.

RATS: Apply 10 to 42 bait bags per placement for controlling rats. Space placements 15 to 30 feet apart at appropriate locations within the infested area. Maintain a continuous supply of fresh bait for at least 10 days or until signs of new feeding by rats on bait cease to appear.

MICE AND MEADOW VOLES*: Apply 1 bait bag per placement, usually spaced 8 to 12 feet apart. Two bags may be needed at points of very high mouse activity. Maintain a constant supply of fresh bait for 15 days or until signs of mouse activity cease.

Follow-up: Replace contaminated or spoiled bait immediately. Wearing waterproof gloves, collect and properly dispose of dead animals and leftover bait and bait bags, as well as any bait that has become accessible to non-target animals. To discourage re-infestation, limit sources of rodent food, water, and harborage as much as possible. If re-infestation does occur, repeat treatment. For continuous sources of infestation, set up permanent bait stations and replenish them as needed.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This product is toxic to fish, birds and other wildlife. Dogs and other predatory and scavenging mammals and birds might be poisoned if they feed upon animals that have eaten bait. Do not apply this product directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.
