Focus granules is a modern product in the field of deratisation belonging to the second generation of rodenticides. It kills rats (brown rat, black rat) and mice after a single intake. It is effective against individuals resistant to warfarin and other anticoagulants. Rodents die after a few days, so they do not develop distrust towards the bait.

Focus Mouse and Rat Poison Granules - instructions for use:

Control of mice indoors:

• Low infestation (low pest population):
  - Up to 40 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 5 m.
• High infestation (high pest population):
  - Up to 40 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 2 m.
• Regular inspections of deratisation stations should be carried out (at least every 2-3 days at the beginning of rodent control, and later at least once a week) to: determine product effectiveness, assess the condition of deratisation stations and remove dead rodents.
• Bait consumed by rodents should be replenished.

Control of rats indoors:

• Low infestation (low pest population):
  - Up to 200 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 10 m.
• High infestation (high pest population):
  - Up to 200 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 5 m.
• Regular inspections of deratisation stations should be carried out (at least every 5-7 days at the beginning of rodent control, and later at least once a week) to: determine product effectiveness, assess the condition of deratisation stations and remove dead rodents. Bait consumed by rodents should be replenished.

General rules for using block poison indoors:

• Follow the principles described in the guidelines for integrated pest management (IPM).
• When placing deratisation stations near water drainage systems, ensure that the bait does not come into contact with water.

Control of mice around buildings:

• Low infestation (low pest population):
  - Up to 40 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 5 m.
• High infestation (high pest population):
  - Up to 40 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 2 m.

Control of rats around buildings:

• Low infestation (low pest population):
  - Up to 200 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 10 m.
• High infestation (high pest population):
  - Up to 200 g of bait per deratisation station.
  - If more than one deratisation station is required, the minimum distance between stations should be 5 m.

General rules for using block poison around buildings:

• Deratisation stations should protect the bait from weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.).
• Deratisation stations should be placed in locations protected from flooding.
• Regular inspections of deratisation stations should be carried out (at the beginning of mouse control at least every 2–3 days, rat control at least every 5–7 days, and later at least once a week) to: determine product effectiveness, assess the condition of deratisation stations and remove dead rodents.
• Bait consumed by rodents should be replenished.
• Replace any bait damaged by water or contaminated.
• Follow the principles described in the guidelines for integrated pest management (IPM).
• Do not apply the product directly into rodent burrows.
• When placing deratisation stations near surface waters (e.g. rivers, ponds, watercourses, embankments, irrigation ditches) or drainage systems, ensure that the bait does not come into contact with water.

Focus Granules for mice and rats - usage tips:

• Before using the product, read and follow the recommendations included in the product information materials or provided at the point of sale, and conduct a preliminary site assessment where rodents are present to properly identify the rodent species, activity areas, and determine the likely cause and degree of rodent infestation.
• Before starting treatment, remove other potential food sources for rodents (e.g. spilled grain or food residues).
• Do not disturb the rodents’ habitat before applying the product, as this may affect their behaviour and bait consumption.
• The product should be used according to the principles described in the guidelines for integrated pest management (IPM), good hygiene practices, and, where possible, using non-chemical control methods.
• To increase bait consumption and reduce the likelihood of reinfestation, apply appropriate preventive measures (e.g. sealing holes, removing potential food sources for rodents).
• Deratisation stations should be placed directly adjacent to areas where rodent activity has been observed (e.g. paths, nesting sites, livestock feeding areas, holes, burrows, etc.). Where possible, stations should be secured to the ground or other structures. Stations should be clearly marked to indicate they contain rodenticides and that handling is prohibited.
• Public places where the product is used should be appropriately marked. Near bait placement points, information should be displayed warning that contact with the product or dead rodents is hazardous to health and providing first aid instructions in case of poisoning.
• Where possible, secure the bait so that it cannot be removed.
• Do not remove bait from sachets. To reduce dust, apply bait using a scoop. Use wet wiping to reduce dust formation.
• Deratisation stations should be placed out of reach of children, birds, pets, livestock and non-target animals.
• Deratisation stations should be placed away from food, drinks and animal feed, as well as away from kitchen utensils and surfaces in contact with them.
• Labels on deratisation stations must include the following information: “Do not move or open”; “Contains rodenticide”; “Product name or registration number”; “Active substance(s)”; and “In case of accident contact poison control centre (Gdańsk, Kraków, Poznań, Warsaw)”.
• Wear appropriate protective gloves (EN 374).
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while using the product.
• After using the product, wash hands and any skin exposed to direct contact with the product.
• If bait consumption is too low compared to the estimated degree of rodent infestation, consider relocating deratisation stations or changing the product formulation. If after 35 days from the start of rodent control bait is still being consumed and rodent activity continues, determine the cause of treatment failure.
• If resistance to bromadiolone is detected or suspected, use a product containing a different active substance from the rodenticide group. Also consider non-chemical control methods (e.g. traps).
• After completing deratisation, remove deratisation stations and bait found outside stations.
• If possible, before starting rodent control, inform any third parties (e.g. users of the rodent control area and its immediate surroundings) about the start of deratisation (according to the principles described in the guidelines for integrated pest management (IPM)).
• To reduce the risk of secondary poisoning, frequently and regularly search for and remove dead rodents throughout the deratisation period (e.g. at least twice a week or more often if necessary).
• Do not use the product for longer than 35 days without prior assessment of infestation level and control effectiveness.
• Do not use the product in continuous baiting treatments (e.g. to prevent rodent infestation or detect their activity).
• This product should eliminate rodents within 35 days. If lack of effectiveness is suspected at the end of the control period (e.g. continued rodent activity), consult the supplier/vendor or contact a professional deratisation company.
• Do not wash deratisation stations with water during treatment.
• Remove dead rodents safely and hand over to a company authorised for hazardous waste recovery and disposal (e.g. incinerator).
• Do not mix with municipal waste stream.
