Why Monitoring Paste?

Use highly palatable products for easier detection and faster control of the infestations

As formulation and wrapping are both based on Selontra^® which has demonstrated high palatability in relation to alternative food.

Maximise Selontra^®acceptance

Maximise Selontra^® acceptance using less rodenticide in the complete programme as rodents will readily recognize the bait as food source known to them, allowing minimal use of rodenticide when needed.

Designed for use in an Integrated Pest Management rodent control programme, especially with Selontra^®

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a coordinated and planned strategy for:

Prevention: with site hygiene and rodent proofing
Detection: with Monitoring Paste, and
Control of a rodent infestation: with Selontra^®

Monitoring Paste by BASF is an additional tool for pest control operators to follow the IPM strategy supporting the professionalism of their business.
Professionals can do permanent monitoring with Monitoring Paste by BASF.

Perfect for Food Handling Areas

Monitoring Paste is certified as suitable for use in and around facilities that operate a HACCP based Food Safety Programme.

Monitoring Paste Food zone classification is SSZ: Splash and Spill zone (including the nonfood areas).

Selontra^® is HACCP certified for use in the Non-Food Zone only.

Application techniques

Monitoring Paste by BASF may be used where rodenticide use is highly restricted or not permitted at all. But if Monitoring Paste is replaced with Selontra^® , follow Selontra^®’s label instructions

Who will benefit from Monitoring Paste?

Domestic and commercial owners

You can be sure that using Monitoring Paste by BASF is essential for an early-stage detection to prevent an invasion and, subsequently, will avoid any complaints from your end users (in hotels, food industry, restaurants, bakeries, public and industrial buildings, etc.).

Your pest control operator can assure you that premises are well monitored, which will speed their response by planning an effective treatment in future rodents’ presence.

If the presence of rodents is evident, BASF recommends switching to Selontra^®, as the rodents will readily recognize the Selontra^® bait as a food source known to them.

Farmers and livestockers

Farmers and livestockers are exposed to long-stablished rodent infestations in their premises.

If you face this situation, always begin with a site inspection. Using the Monitoring Paste at this stage of the process will optimize the use of rodenticide so placed in correct places where activity is and allow understanding of size and dynamics of the infestation. Following the Monitoring Paste with Selontra^® will further enhance the ready recognition of Selontra^® as a food source.

Without monitoring, your treatment plan will be less effective because you will not know which are the greatest areas of rodent activity.
