D-Block Extreme Info

One of the toxins we will be handling is called D-Block Extreme, which is used to control rat numbers.

The active ingredient is Dipahcinone and it is toxic to terrestrial animals.

To keep yourself and your baitline buddy safe, please don't ingest it, don't breathe in the dust nor get it in your eyes - we want the possums and rats poisoned, not our excellent volunteers and staff!

Even though it is bagged up, please use gloves when deploying into the bait stations.
