HOW TO USE
Use in bait stations only.
Locate bait in dry location near runways and nesting sites away from children, pets and domestic animals.
Maintain an uninterrupted supply of fresh bait for at least 10 days or longer if signs of rat activity continue.
D‑Block is a 28‑gram hard‑block rodent bait containing the anticoagulant Diphacinone. It’s designed for reliable rat control in both indoor and outdoor environments when used in bait stations.
D‑Block contains Diphacinone (0.05 g/kg), a first‑generation anticoagulant with a short biological half‑life and low risk of secondary poisoning.
Diphacinone breaks down quickly in animal tissue and blood — its half‑life is around 3 days, compared with 130–300 days for Brodifacoum. This means minimal risk of secondary poisoning, reduced impact on native birds and lower long‑term environmental persistence.
When used correctly in bait stations, D‑Block presents minimal risk to native birds and non‑target species due to its short half‑life and lower secondary‑poisoning potential.
Each block has a hole through the centre, allowing it to be secured onto bait‑station spikes, wire, nails, or cable ties. This prevents bait caching and ensures rats consume the bait on‑site.
Always follow the Safety Data Sheet. Avoid skin contact, wash hands after handling, and store the bait securely away from food, children, and pets.
