PiGNX
DeTour for Rodents, the new rodent repellent from PiGNX, has received a FIFRA exemption from the FDA. DeTour for Rodents is a food-grade mineral oil that carries a white pepper active ingredient that rodents cannot tolerate, the company reports. DeTour is a contact irritant that, when contacted by the rodent, causes an intense, negative physiological reaction. Rodents that have come in contact with DeTour try to get away from the product and will, in many cases, either exit the structure altogether or become disoriented and run into other rodent equipment, manufacturer PiGNX reports. DeTour will not melt or freeze, can be used inside or outside, and works on every kind of rodent, the company added.
