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.
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.
MOUSEOFF® ZP is a Schedule 7 poison product. It is available in all States from approved rural merchant stores, some government agencies and some contractors. When there is no demand for the bait the stores generally do not hold stock, so allow a few days for delivery and give early warnings of requirements.
Some states require an Agricultural Users Permit (ACUP) to purchase, possess and/or use MOUSEOFF® ZP.

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.
