A disease outbreak, a contaminated flock, a quarantined or condemned herd,
an economic catastrophe – or worse.

If you haven’t taken measures to control disease-causing organisms in your flock or herd, you’re putting your operation, income and livelihood at tremendous risk. A consistent, organized, ongoing program of disease-prevention and disease-control measures and practices – collectively termed “biosecurity” – is essential for limiting the spread of disease-causing organisms, or pathogens, among your livestock.

Along with vaccination, sanitation and disinfection, a good rodent-control program will help insure the health of your flock or herd. Thus, reducing the risk of considerable lost revenue caused by a disease outbreak.

Effective rodenticides and bait stations are critical components of any biosecurity practice. At Liphatech, we constantly strive to develop new technologies and materials to help you control rodent infestations.

Importance of Bait Rotation

Rodents have no known resistance to any active ingredient in our second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide. However, continued use of just one product in areas with ongoing rodent activity may increase the potential for a resistance problem. Mouse populations also often prefer one flavor of rodenticide over another. So it makes sense to use a rodenticide rotation strategy in rodent control programs in livestock production facilities to improve bait acceptance.

A rotation strategy that includes Liphatech’s Hombre, Gunslinger and Boothill Rodenticides, used in conjunction with the Aegis Bait Stations, is your most effective means of controlling any rodent population.

The Importance of Proper Bait Placement

Bait location strategy is important. Rodents are creatures of habit. They travel along established paths between their nest and their food/water supply (mice: range = 9 yards; rats: range = 30-100 yards). They will not go out of their way unless they are forced to. Poor placement reduces bait effectiveness while good placement improves it.
