Talon XT Pro

Description

TALON XT Pro Rodenticide by Syngenta is a highly palatable, professional-grade rat and mouse bait designed for effective rodent control in residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural buildings. Formulated with 0.05 g/kg brodifacoum, this powerful second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide (SGAR) delivers single-feed control of rats and mice, including rodent populations resistant to certain other anticoagulant rodenticides.

Featuring a durable, high-integrity wax block formulation, TALON XT Pro is designed to maintain its structure and palatability in challenging conditions. Its moisture-resistant and weather-resistant properties make it particularly suitable for approved rodent baiting applications in damp environments, enclosed service areas and other locations where conventional rodent baits may deteriorate more rapidly.

Each 10 kg pail contains approximately 500 individual 20 g wax blocks, providing professional pest managers with a practical and economical rodent control solution for multiple treatment sites.

The highly attractive bait formulation encourages feeding by rats and mice, while brodifacoum’s delayed anticoagulant action allows rodents to consume a lethal dose without experiencing immediate effects. This reduces the likelihood of bait shyness and supports effective rodent population management.

Suitable for approved applications in and around buildings, subject to current APVMA restrictions, TALON XT Pro is an effective rodenticide option for warehouses, commercial premises, food-related facilities, agricultural buildings and industrial environments.

Target Rodent Species

TALON XT Pro is registered in Australia for the control of common commensal rodent species, including:

Roof Rats (Rattus rattus)

Also known as black rats, roof rats frequently establish themselves in roof voids, ceiling spaces, warehouses and elevated building structures. TALON XT Pro provides a targeted rodenticide option for approved treatments where roof rat activity has been identified.

Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus)

Also known as brown rats, Norway rats are commonly associated with ground-level harbourages, building foundations, storage areas and enclosed service spaces. TALON XT Pro’s durable wax block formulation is particularly useful in permitted locations where damp conditions may affect bait integrity.

House Mice (Mus musculus, including the Mus domesticus designation used on the product label)

House mice can establish populations in commercial buildings, food storage facilities, warehouses and residential properties. TALON XT Pro provides effective single-feed control when sufficient bait is consumed in approved treatment locations.

Professional Applications

TALON XT Pro is suitable for professional rodent control programs across a range of approved environments, including:

• Commercial warehouses and distribution centres
• Food storage and processing facilities
• Agricultural buildings and farm storage structures
• Factories, workshops and industrial premises
• Residential buildings and apartment complexes
• Retail stores, offices and commercial buildings
• Hospitality venues and commercial service facilities
• Enclosed building service areas and approved damp locations
• Approved rodent bait stations located in and around buildings
• Other locations permitted under the registered label and current APVMA suspension conditions

How TALON XT Pro Rodenticide Works

TALON XT Pro contains brodifacoum, a second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide belonging to the coumarin chemical family.

Brodifacoum interferes with the normal vitamin K cycle, preventing the regeneration of vitamin K required for the production of essential blood-clotting factors.

Following ingestion of a sufficient quantity of bait, the rodent progressively loses its ability to maintain normal blood clotting. This results in internal haemorrhaging and eventual mortality.

Unlike acute rodenticides, brodifacoum has a delayed mode of action. Rodents generally do not experience immediate symptoms following bait consumption, reducing the likelihood of bait shyness.

Single-feed effectiveness: A sufficient quantity consumed during one feeding event can deliver a lethal dose.

Delayed action: Rodent mortality commonly occurs approximately four to seven days after consumption.

Anticoagulant resistance management: Brodifacoum can provide control of rodents resistant to certain first-generation anticoagulants and some other anticoagulant rodenticides.

Highly palatable bait matrix: Encourages rodents to consume sufficient bait for effective control.

Durable Wax Block Technology

One of the main advantages of TALON XT Pro is its high-integrity wax block formulation.

Unlike loose grain or pellet baits, TALON XT Pro blocks are manufactured to retain their physical structure in demanding treatment environments.

This makes them particularly suitable for professional rodent control programs where durability, moisture resistance and controlled bait placement are important.

The solid-block format offers several practical advantages:

• Helps maintain bait integrity in damp and humid environments.
• Reduces loose bait and product fragmentation.
• Allows bait blocks to be secured within compatible rodent bait stations.
• Supports accurate recording of bait consumption.
• Simplifies inspection, replacement and removal during rodent management programs.

Its durable formulation also provides a useful alternative to cereal pellet baits when environmental conditions make loose bait less practical.

TALON XT Pro for Commercial Rodent Management

Rodent infestations can create significant operational, hygiene and compliance concerns across commercial and industrial premises.

Rats and mice can contaminate stored products, damage packaging, interfere with building infrastructure and compromise food safety programs.

TALON XT Pro provides professional pest managers with a durable, highly palatable rodenticide bait suitable for incorporation into structured rodent management programs.

Its 20 g wax block format supports controlled bait placement and clear documentation of rodent activity, particularly in facilities where bait consumption and treatment outcomes must be monitored.

For effective rodent management, TALON XT Pro should form part of an integrated program incorporating:

• Site inspections and rodent activity assessments
• Identification and sealing of rodent entry points
• Removal of competing food and water sources
• Appropriate tamper-resistant bait station placement
• Documented monitoring of bait consumption
• Responsible removal of rodent carcasses and unused bait
• Regular assessment of treatment effectiveness

Because TALON XT Pro contains brodifacoum, particular attention must be given to primary and secondary poisoning risks involving pets, livestock and native wildlife.
