DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

1. Store product not in use in a location out of reach of children and pets.
2. Apply bait in locations out of the 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 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, and unconsumed bait as specified on this label.

Bait stations are mandatory for outdoor, above-ground use. Tamper-resistant bait stations must be used wherever children, pets, non-target mammals, or birds may have access to the bait placement location.

USE RESTRICTIONS:

This may only be used to control the following rodent pests in and around man-made structures: House mouse (Mus musculus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), Roof rat (Rattus rattus), Cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus)*, Eastern harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys humuli)*, Golden mouse (Ochrotomys nuttalli)*, Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans)*, and Meadow vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus)*. This must be used in and within 100 feet of man-made structures constructed in a manner so as to be vulnerable to commensal rodent invasions and/or to harboring or attracting rodent infestations. Examples of such structures include homes and other permanent or temporary residences, food processing facilities, industrial and commercial buildings, trash receptacles, agricultural and public buildings, transport vehicles, (ships, trains, aircraft), docks and port or terminal buildings and related structures around and associated with these sites. Fence and perimeter baiting, beyond 100 feet from a structure as defined above, is prohibited. This must not be applied directly to food or feed crops. Do not use this in sewers. Do not broadcast bait. Do not place bait near or inside of ventilation duct openings. Do not contaminate water, food, feed, food- or feed-handling equipment, milk- or meat-handling equipment, or surfaces that come into direct contact with food. When used in USDA-inspected facilities, this must be applied in tamper-resistant bait stations. Burrow baiting with SureKill Brand Assault Blocks is prohibited.

Do not sell this in individual containers holding less than four (4) pounds of bait.

* Not permitted for use against the following species in California: Cotton rat, Eastern harvest mouse, Golden mouse, Polynesian rat, Meadow vole.

SELECTION OF TREATMENT AREAS:

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

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

The active ingredient in this is different from anticoagulant rodenticides. Norway rats, roof rats and house mice cease feeding after consuming a toxic dose.

Rats:

Apply 2 to 12 SureKill Brand Assault Blocks. Space placements at intervals of 15 to 30 feet in infested areas. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 10 days or until there no longer are signs of new feeding by rats.

Mice and Meadow Voles*:

Apply 1 to 2 SureKill Brand Assault Blocks at each placement location. Space placements at 8- to 12-foot intervals. Larger placements (up to 2 ounces) may be needed at points of very high house mouse activity. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 15 days or until there are no longer signs of new feeding by house mice or meadow voles*.

Follow-Up:

Adjust the amount of bait applied to the level of feeding expected at each bait placement location. Highest bait consumption is expected to occur on the first day or two after treatment. After several days, inspect bait placements and replenish bait at sites where there is heavy feeding or where there is continued evidence of rat, mouse or meadow vole* activity. Maintain baiting for at least one week or until there no longer are fresh signs of rat, mouse or meadow vole* activity or it becomes clear that the remaining rats, mice or meadow voles* are not attracted to the bait.

Wearing barrier laminate gloves, collect and properly dispose of all dead rodents and leftover bait. To discourage reinfestation, limit sources of food, water, and harborage as much as possible. If reinfestation does occur, repeat treatment. Where a continuous source of infestation is present, establish permanent bait stations and replenish them as needed.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

This is extremely toxic to mammals and birds. Dogs and scavenging mammals and birds might be poisoned if they feed upon animals that have eaten this bait. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may also be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
