Protecting storage facilities: practical experience with Klerat

When rodents appear in a warehouse, it is not just about product loss, but about the safety of the entire inventory. In my practice, for controlling the brown rat, house mouse, and common vole, I prefer using reliable tools. Klerat rodenticide from Syngenta is a solution where the outcome is predictable and labor costs are kept to a minimum.

Why brodifacoum works

The effectiveness lies in the active ingredient, brodifacoum, a second-generation anticoagulant. Unlike fast-acting poisons that make rodents wary, Klerat works gradually. Pests do not associate the death of their colony members with the bait, allowing the rest of the colony to continue feeding.

Operational tips and professional handling

• Ready-to-use formulation: There is no need for mixing or complex preparation. Simply place the portions in areas of high rodent activity.
• Consumption efficiency: Due to the high concentration of the active ingredient, the amount of product needed to cover large areas is significantly lower compared to generic, cheaper alternatives.
• Safety protocols: Since the product falls under toxicity classes 1–2, using tamper-resistant bait stations is essential. This prevents ingestion by non-target animals and protects the bait from moisture.

Managing a site with Klerat involves regular inspection of bait stations. If the bait is consumed, simply replenish it. Maintaining constant availability is key to preventing the rodents from abandoning the feeding sites. Throughout my usage, I have observed that when the placement pattern is followed, the pest population is successfully controlled within 10–14 days. This is a professional-grade crop protection approach that saves time and prevents the stress of repeated infestations.
