Protecting the environment

Zinc phosphide is especially suited to broad-scale management of rodent infestations. Many product features combine with strict baiting criteria to minimise risks to non-target animals.

Extensive surveys have confirmed very low risk of non-target impact if MOUSEOFF® ZP is applied as described on the product label label.

Restrictions

Application of bait is not permitted in areas that have not been planted, cultivated or do not possess ground cover or that are within 50m of wildlife habitat refuges. The withholding period before harvest or grazing stubble treated with MOUSEOFF® ZP is 14 days.

Alternative chemicals

Zinc phosphide is an approved rodenticide for mouse control in broad-acre crops. Use of chemicals such as strychnine or organophosphates threaten export markets if residues are found in grain products. It is illegal to use these chemicals to control mice in crops and it is hazardous to the environment.

MOUSEOFF® ZP is approved for broadacre control of mice in crops and should be used in conjunction with other measures to prevent mouse damage.
