Megalon Wax Blocks

Ready-for-use rodenticidal wax blocks based on Bromadiolone.

Formulation

In Megalon Wax Blocks Bromadiolone is contained in a bait consisting of a balanced mix of edibles substances and food-grade paraffin. This gives the bait remarkable resistance to humidity and temporary contact with water. Megalon Wax Blocks, therefore, is suitable to be used in sites where traditional baits can develop mold and lose quickly their palatability (such as: cellars, frequently washed premises, outdoor areas, septic tanks, sewage channels etc.).

The baits contain denatonium benzoate, which makes them extremely bitter hence discouraging ingestion by children and pets. The specific characteristic of denatonium benzoate is that it is not detected by the palate of rodents at concentrations like the one in Megalon Wax Blocks.

Species that can be controlled

Megalon Wax Blocks are accepted and consumed by all infesting rodents: rattus norvegicus, rattus rattus, mus musculus.

Properties

Megalon Wax Blocks weigh approximately 20 grams and have a hole that facilitates their fixing inside bait dispensers. The shape of the edges is such that it facilitates biting by rodents.

Bromadiolone belongs to second generation indirect anticoagulants and is marked by high toxicity for rodents, similarly to Brodifacoum. Its toxicity is effective irrespective of the duration of the bait consumption. According to literature, between 90% and 100% of rats fed for 1, 2 or 4 days with baits containing 0.005% Bromadiolone die.

One more peculiarity of bromadiolone is that it is normally well accepted by rodents’ palate.
