poison?

is Neosorexa Gold anygood?

Most professional use only products that agricultural pharmacists stock can and will be sold to farmers, this includes alli phos. No questions asked. The term that is used is the old man rule.

 

I have questioned this and its the same old tale wherever i go.

 

I have had to provide my certs in order to purchase from them. I feel the thought is that its for agricultural use and the farmer is only going to use it on his own property.

 

I have often seen many cases of incorrect application of rodenticides, but i suppose that is what makes the difference of a trained person applying the product and gaining a result as opposed to a farmer banging a tub down once in a while when they think they have a rodent problem.

Yes it is good, but only if applied under a controlled and monitored course of application.

Alluminium Phosphide is a 'poison' therefore different rules apply. If you know of a supplier who is selling this product to anyone who cannot prove that they have been trained, report them to the BPCA or NPTA straight away, and action will be taken.

 

'Grandfather Rights' only apply to horticultural and agricultural sprays (those are the ones you need PA1 & PA6 for), not public health pest control products.

ok im not a pest controller the professional lads might have better ideas,

 

but what you want to be doing in my opinion is instead of just trying to kill the rats find out whats attracting them first, loose feed on the ground, feed not stored correctly etc, sort that out first then worry about dealing with the rats,

 

when it comes to poisons your better off just getting a professional in from the word go i recon

 

when i worked on a big pheasant shoot we used to get them round the feeders and gamecrops, the headkeeper was trained up in the poisons and what not hed deal with that side, but i prefer trapping them or dig them out ther holes keep on top of them all the time!

Don't know where to begin with this thread... I only hope that the apologists for the current distribution methods, of professional use pesticides, are reading and re-reading what we've been complaining about for years. Maybe someone could link this thread to PestPro, PCP, or UKPCO for their musings?

 

Taking out of the equation, the offences committed, just chucking rat bait under the shed isn't going to get rid of your rodent problem. Never has and never will. You need more than a 'good rat bait.'

 

As your unwilling to supply us with any more details we can't help any more. I can only echo what everyone else has said so far. Get someone in that knows what they're doing, just chucking stuff down will cost you much more in the long run. Fortunately for you, though, the chances of you being prosecuted are laughably slim.
