Rodent Bait Rotation

Resistance Management: Rotating different rodenticide actives and avoiding overuse of a single active, can help slow down the development and spread of rodent bait resistance.
Bait Shyness Prevention: Rotating rodenticide actives can help prevent bait shyness, also known as conditioned food aversion; rodents learn to avoid a particular taste after experiencing nausea or illness after consuming it.
Improved Acceptance: Rotating to a new taste, or type, or formulation of rodenticide active can break the boredom and lead to improved bait acceptance and help improve overall rodent control.

Anticoagulants: Work by interfering with the rodent’s ability to clot blood.
- First-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (FGARs)
- Diphacinone Rodenticide Active:
- JT Eaton® Peanut Butter and Apple Flavored Rodent Bait Block
- Second-Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) Bromadiolone Rodenticide Active: JT Eaton® Nectus Soft Bait and Bait Block 2G
Non-Anticoagulant (Bromethalin): Work by disrupting the rodent’s central nervous system.
- Bromethalin Rodenticide Active:
- JT Eaton® Top Gun All-Weather Bait Block and Top Gun Pellet Place Packs

Rotate Regularly: Change rodenticide actives every four months.
Build in both Anticoagulant and Non-Anticoagulant Rodenticide actives in the rotation: This can help prevent resistance development by incorporating a different mode of action that does not show signs of rodent bait resistance.
Build in different Bait Forms and Flavors: Rotate between different bait types (e.g., 2G Bait Block, Nectus Soft Bait), flavors (Apple Bait Block and Peanut Butter Bait Block), and formulations (Top Gun All-Weather Bait Block and Top Gun Pellet Place Packs) to avoid bait shyness and boredom.

Spring/Summer Rotation: While rodent activity has moderated/now under control, 1^st Gen Apple and Peanut Butter Flavored Bait Blocks are a perfect choice as a maintenance bait, getting excellent acceptance and results – especially important in months of high sales influx.
Late Summer/Early Fall Rotation: Just when a stellar combo maintenance/clean out bait is needed, we have Top Gun All-Weather Bait Block and Pellet Place Packs. Rodents eat as little as 1/8^th as much of our stop-feed bait for a lethal dose (which occurs in 1 to 2 days) and the bait is less prone to molding – vital when needing a rodent bait to hold up as rodent activity increases.
Late Fall/Winter Rotation: With rodent activity now at its peak, we rotate to our single feed 2^nd Gen Bait Block 2G and Nectus Soft Bait). Overall, our best performing rodent baits when we need them the most.
