PAG Pindone Oat Rabbit Bait 2.5kg
- A ready-to-use preparation of oats coated with pindone (0.5 g/kg). It is available in a range of pack sizes to suit the smallest to largest control programme. Pindone is a first-generation anticoagulant poison, and works by blocking the blood clotting system in the animal.
- Rabbits are more susceptible to pindone than many other species, however, caution should always be used when applying baits so that no other animals, including stock or wildlife, have direct access to bait.
- Pindone is used for rabbit control because it has a shorter half-life in the body than second-generation anticoagulant poisons such as those used in modern rodent baits. This is an advantage since the poison is cleared quickly from any non-target animal which accidentally receives a small exposure.
- Pindone has a delayed action and, unlike some quick-acting poisons, there is an effective antidote (Vitamin K1) should it be needed.Pindone works by blocking the enzyme responsible for recycling vitamin K in the liver.
