General Information

Ratol is a rodenticide manufactured by UPL Limited in India. It is a ready-to-use bait formulation containing the active ingredient zinc phosphide 2%. Ratol is effective against a wide range of rodents, including rats, mice, and bandicoots.

Mode of Action

Zinc phosphide is a highly toxic rodenticide that works by releasing phosphine gas when it comes into contact with stomach acid. Phosphine gas is a colorless, odorless gas that is highly toxic to rodents. It causes the rodent's body to produce lactic acid, which leads to muscle paralysis and death.

Application

Ratol should be placed in bait stations in areas where rodents are active. The bait stations should be placed in out-of-the-way areas where children and pets cannot reach them. Ratol should be checked and replenished regularly.

Ratol is a highly toxic rodenticide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a respirator. Do not apply Ratol in areas where children and pets have access.
