ZP Rodent Oat Bait Ag
ZP Rodent Oat Bait Ag is a restricted product for use by Certified Applicators only. Made with a combination of oats and grains, it is used to control various types of rodents. ZP Rodent Bait kills within hours after the first feeding.
This product is a Restricted Use Product (RUP) and requires a Certified Applicator's License to purchase.
ZP Rodent Oat Bait, manufactured by Bell Laboratories Inc., is an effective rodenticide that controls rats, mice, gophers, and more.
Formulated with zinc phosphide, it protects croplands and orchards from rodent damage. Only a few teaspoons produce the same results as 4 ounces of anticoagulant bait.
ZP Rodent Oat Bait kills targeted pests within hours of the first feeding.
Tools Needed
It does not require tools but should be applied in tamper-proof bait stations to prevent children and non-targeted pets or animals from accessing it.
How to Use

- Step 1: Identify the rodent that has invaded your property and where it is active. ZP Rodent Bait has specific application directions depending on the rodent and the setting where it is located.
- Step 2: For most rodents, a tamper-proof bait station can be utilized to prevent non-targeted animals or humans from accessing the poison. It is suggested that we initially pre-bait areas with untreated food before applying ZP Rodent Oat Bait to lure targeted pests into the area. ZP Rodent Oat Bait can also be applied directly into burrows by hand or broadcast on label-approved croplands.
- Step 3: Once rodents have been comfortably consuming prebait in the area, you can then apply the ZP Rodent Oat Bait in the bait stations. Apply a teaspoon (4 grams) of bait in each bait station. Space each bait station at intervals of 8 to 12 feet in infested areas. Maintain bait in stations for 3 days. Extend the baiting period only if there is continued evidence of feeding from the stations by the target rodent.
- Step 4: To treat rodent burrows, hand-place 4 to 8 grams of bait at 2 locations near the entrance. Keep the areas clean and properly dispose of any dead rodents. Reapply until rodent activity has stopped.

ZP Rodent Oat Bait Ag is for professional use only to protect orchards, groves, non-crop rights-of-way by canals or ditches, ornamental and non-bearing fruit tree farms, vineyards, Christmas tree farms, turfs, lawns, golf courses, land around airports, and more.
When to Use
It can be used anytime targeted pest activity has been identified.
