Bunnybait has evolved from more than a decade of intensive rabbit control operations from a leading Vertebrate Pest control company. Many if not most suburban & industrial rabbit populations involve situations were control by fencing, warren destruction or fumigation is simply not sufficient to achieve a high reduction or is too expensive to carry out. The most effective control consists of strategic poisoning with the anticoagulant point, pindone (similar to rat poison), combined with one or more of the above. Can be used in build up areas As a chronic poisoner, domestic animals/wildlife would need to have several feeds before sufficient toxic action is caused to induce death. Does not build up in the food chain. Baiting of rabbits with pindone-treated oats With information received from a leading Vertebrate Pest control company covering more than a decade of intensive rabbit control operations, many if not most suburban and industrial rabbit populations involve situations where control by fencing, warren destruction or fumigation is simply not sufficient to achieve a high reduction or is too expensive to carry out. Rabbits commonly live under buildings or in dense cover and it is impossible to cover all these situations. Here the most effective control consists of strategic poisoning with the anticoagulant poison, pindone (similar to rat poison), combined with one or more of the above. Pindone is one of two poisons registered for rabbit control. Pindone has the great advantage of being what we call a chronic poison (i.e. one in which the animal requires several feeds before sufficient toxic action is caused to induce death). Like other anticoagulant poisons (e.g. Ratsak), pindone causes death by preventing the normal clotting of blood and animals ingesting a lethal amount die of internal haemorrhage. Because it requires several feeds, is slow-acting, and does not build up in the food chain, pindone is a far safer poison (in terms of ingestion by humans or pets). A human would need to eat a large amount of oat bait in order to receive a lethal dose at one sitting and rabbit carcasses normally do not contain sufficient of the toxic product to harm any dogs or cats which may eat corpses.
