How do rodent monitoring blocks enhance the use of rodenticides?

Rodent monitoring blocks are designed to effectively assess rodent activity in a specific area before the application of rodenticides. By placing these blocks in strategic locations, pest control professionals can gather crucial information about the presence and behaviors of rodents. This prior knowledge is essential for determining the appropriate timing and placement of bait.

When monitoring blocks show signs of rodent activity, this serves as a confirmation that the target pests are present and that the area is suitable for baiting. This proactive approach helps to ensure that rodenticides are used more efficiently and effectively, ultimately leading to better control of the rodent population. Prior assessment through monitoring also aids in minimizing unnecessary exposure to rodenticides, protecting non-target species and the environment.
