Abstract
The present invention relates to a rodenticide bait composition comprising a calcium salt and a dehydrant; wherein the calcium salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium acetate, calcium benzoate, calcium octanoate, calcium stearate, calcium silicate, calcium oxide silicate, calcium sulfate, calcium chloride, calcium bromide, calcium iodide, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate, calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate and combinations of two or more thereof; wherein the calcium salt is present in an amount of less than 20 wt. % based on the total weight of the composition; wherein the dehydrant comprises one or more sources of cellulose and one or more sources of phospholipids.
Claims18
A rodenticide bait composition comprising:
- between 5 wt. % and 18 wt. % of a calcium salt, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the calcium salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium acetate, and combinations of two or more thereof;
- and
- between 40 wt. % and 80 wt. % of a dehydrant, based on the total weight of the composition, wherein the dehydrant comprises:
- between 70 wt. % and 95 wt. % of one or more sources of cellulose, based on the total weight of the dehydrant,
- between 1 wt. % and 15 wt. % of one or more sources of phospholipids, based on the total weight of the dehydrant, wherein the one or more sources of phospholipids is a vegetable oil, and
- at least one carrageenan;
- and
- wherein the rodenticide bait composition is free of cholecalciferol.
A method for preparing a rodenticide bait composition, the method comprising:
- blending at least one calcium salt and a dehydrant with at least one carrageenan and one or more further ingredients to form a rodenticide bait composition comprising between 5 wt. % and 18 wt. % of the calcium salt, based on the total weight of the composition and between 40 wt. % and 80 wt. % of the dehydrant, based on the total weight of the composition,
- wherein the at least one calcium salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium acetate, and combinations of two or more thereof;
- and
- wherein the dehydrant comprises:
- between 70 wt. % and 95 wt. % of one or more sources of cellulose, based on the total weight of the dehydrant, and
- between 1 wt. % and 15 wt. % of one or more sources of phospholipids, based on the total weight of the dehydrant, and wherein the one or more sources of phospholipids is a vegetable oil;
- and
- wherein the rodenticide bait composition is free of cholecalciferol.
A rodenticide bait composition comprising:
- at least one calcium salt present at a concentration between 5 wt. % and 18 wt. %, wherein the calcium salt is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium acetate, and combinations of two or more thereof;
- at least one source of cellulose present at a concentration between 28 wt. % to 76 wt. %;
- at least one vegetable oil present at a concentration between 0.4 wt. % and 12 wt. %;
- at least one carrageenan present at a concentration between 2 wt. % to 32 wt. %, and wherein a proportion of carrageenan:one or more sources of cellulose is between 1:1 about 1:10;
- at least one source of endogenous gas present at a concentration between 5 wt. % and 20 wt. %;
- at least one filler;
- and
- wherein the rodenticide bait composition is free of cholecalciferol.
