Vitamin used for
rodent control
Ridding rural areas of troublesome rats and mice can save today’s cost-conscious farmer as much as 10 percent of his food crop.
It is estimated that rodents eat one fifth of all food crops planted in the world. They also spread disease and are so prolific that a pair of rates could have as many as 15,000 offspring in a year.
Researchers recently discovered a totally new approach to controlling rats and mice. Manufactured by Motomco Ltd. under the name, Rampage, this new rodenticide is the first to use Vitamin D3 as its active ingredient.
So healthful to man, Vitamin D3 acts as a powerful killer in the body of rodents. A lethal dose — usually 1/10 ounce for a mouse and 1/2 ounce for most rats — raises the amount of calcium in their bloodstream so much that they die of a heart attack.
Approved by the Environmental Protection Agency, the Vitamin D3 bait is safe to use in and around homes, farms and commercial establishments. Rampage is available at local hardware and farm supply stores.
