Pindone Info

One of the toxins we will be handling is called Pindone, which is used to control rat (and possum) numbers.

The active ingredient is Pindone 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 pests poisoned, not our excellent volunteers and staff!

Even though it is mostly bagged up, please use gloves when handling it.
