Quality Rodent Bait – Have You Considered PCT?
PCT might not be the first rodenticide brand on the lips of many pest managers, but if you’re looking for a good value rodent bait, that still delivers great performance, the quality rodenticide range from PCT is worth a closer look. One of the key reasons why PCT can deliver high performing baits at a lower cost to pest managers is because it is one of the few suppliers to actually manufacture its rodent baits in Australia.
PCT International is bucking the offshore trend and has been manufacturing rodent bait in Brisbane since 2008. It’s obviously a good thing to be supporting local Australian businesses, but local manufacture provides pest managers with key performance and financial benefits.
Firstly, PCT manufactures rodent baits weekly. This ensures the rodent bait is fresh, and as we know, the fresher the better when it comes to palatability. PCT baits aren’t sitting in hot warehouses and containers for months before arriving in Australia. Regular manufacturing also means PCT can always respond quickly to market demand. Secondly, local manufacture allows PCT to use fresh ‘Aussie grown’ grains, which are highly palatable to local rats and mice. Thirdly, local manufacture, without all the shipping costs, means lower production costs, which PCT passes on to pest managers.
PCT produces a range of extruded rodent wax block baits and a cracked grain bait, offering pest managers different options for different situations.
The PCT range of wax blocks for use in and around buildings includes three products with three different actives, providing pest managers with options for using their preferred rodenticide:
- PCT First Formula Rodenticide (0.05 g/kg brodifacoum, red)
- PCT Pro Formula Blocks Rodenticide (0.05 g/kg difenacoum, purple)
- Surefire Broma Blocks Rodenticide (0.05 g/kg bromadiolone, blue)
For outdoor use, Surefire Couma All Weather Blocks are a great option when there is the need for increased safety margins, as it contains coumatetralyl, a first-generation multi-feed active. As it is metabolised quickly within the rodent, the chance of secondary poisoning is reduced. This allows the bait to be used outside and in certain crops, as long as bait stations are used.
All PCT produced block baits contain the bittering agent Bitrex for added safety.
PCT also offers Surefire Grain Bait, a ready-to-use grain-based bait using bromadiolone, which is a great alternative to wax blocks if a different format is required.
To round out its rodent product range, PCT also produces high quality, great value, Australian-made bait stations. With their low profile and clever internal design, these lockable bait stations are suitable for use with blocks, grains or pellets.
PCT’s Australian-made rodent baits have been on the market for over 15 years and have become a trusted product for many in the agricultural and professional pest control industries. Perhaps it’s time to have a closer look at PCT? Available through Agserv.
