- Non-anticoagulant active which does not bioaccumulate
- Superior performance - up to three times faster control than anticoagulants

How it works
The active ingredient in Selontra® is neither persistent nor bio-accumulative. Selontra controls rodents up to three times faster than anticoagulant rodenticides and has a stop-feeding effect, which results in reduced bait wastage and significant cost savings.
Studies on birds (quail and mallard) have shown that compared to rats and mice, they are approximately 50-times less sensitive to cholecalciferol. Secondary poisoning studies on 0.075% / 0.08% cholecalciferol baits have shown no signs of toxicosis in the cats, dogs or birds tested.*
