Bell Laboratories
Bell Laboratories' new T1 Mouse is a pre-baited bait station designed for residential use. T1 Mouse saves PMPs service time, the firm says. Technicians place the bait station where mice travel and let the 1-ounce extruded bait blox do its work. Because the station is disposable, it can be left at the account and thrown away when the bait is consumed, eliminating the need for return visits. And, T1 Mouse is child and dog resistant.
The 1-ounce extruded bait blox contains the acute active ingredient bromethalin, which kills house mice in a day or two. With bromethalin, house mice stop feeding after consuming a toxic dose, plus there is low risk of secondary poisoning, Bell Labs reports. T1 Mouse also can be used outdoors within 50 feet of buildings accessible to children and dogs. The product is sold in 1- and 4-pack cartons.

Bayer
Bayer has updated the packaging for its Maxforce line of products. The company says PMPs will still experience the efficacy the products provide against a variety of pests but now will enjoy a more consistent look graphically across the line and more convenient and easy-to-use packaging.
The new packaging graphics that will become uniform throughout the Maxforce line features a modernized logo that still reflects the classic Maxforce look yet adds a new modern style that reinforces Bayer's ongoing investment in bait research and development, the company says. PMPs will see more user-friendly packaging elements, as well as product codes and the brand name featured on all four sides of the carton. Functional upgrades have been made to a number of Maxforce products, most recently with the Maxforce FC Select Roach Killer Bait Gel 30-gram reservoirs, which are now available in a flip-top box for easier opening/closing.
