Bell Laboratories' TERAD3 AG Blox and Pellets have received the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) Listing for use in organic operations.
The OMRI Listing informs organic farmers and PMPs servicing organic production accounts that TERAD3 AG Blox and Pellets can be used to fight rodent infestations on certified organic operations, including food processing, warehousing and storage, and animal production.
TERAD3 AG Blox and Pellets contain the active ingredient, Vitamin D3, which kills Norway rats, roof rats and house mice, yet reduces the risk of secondary poisoning and poses low toxicity to birds.
According to Bell Labs, the company is the only rodenticide manufacturer to receive listing by OMRI for its Vitamin D3 bait. TERAD3 AG BLOX is a dense, tightly compacted 1-oz. extruded block designed to offer superb durability. The highly weatherable BLOX is excellent in outdoor applications and has a melting point as high as 200°F, the company says. TERAD3 AG Pellets are made with an advanced formulation process designed to produce fresh, compressed pellets.

Innovative Pest Control Products

The ANTOPIA Bait Station from Innovative Pest Control Products is a user-friendly device designed to allow pest management professionals to securely place a large volume of ant bait in a spill-resistant container that offers additional protection from mechanical abrasion and ultraviolet light.
ANTOPIA holds 7 ounces of liquid or granular bait in a spill-resistant configuration, or up to 14 ounces of bait when spill resistance is not a primary concern. The large volume means less frequent refilling and longer periods between services. The translucence of the bait station makes it easy to see when more bait needs to be added, the company says. The green ABS cover protects the bait station from weed whackers and animals. The station features a locking fill port and a design that combines the bait reservoir and anchor in one piece. The product is made for multi-season use and features a thick HDPE construction, the company says. ANTOPIA is designed to work best with the company's Gourmet Liquid Ant Bait.
