Bell Labs CAD3ET Vitamin D3 Rodenticide BLOX is a professional-grade, multiple-feed anticoagulant bait block designed for effective rodent control in agricultural and commercial settings. Its active ingredient, cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3), represents a modern mode of action that disrupts calcium metabolism, leading to hypercalcemia, calcification of soft tissues, and eventual renal and cardiac failure in target rodents.
The product is formulated as a 1-ounce extruded block featuring a convenient center hole. This design allows for easy placement on rods, wires, or nails within tamper-resistant bait stations, securing the bait and preventing rodents from removing it. The BLOX formulation is highly palatable and resists mold and moisture, ensuring bait remains attractive and effective in various environmental conditions, including damp agricultural outbuildings, food warehouses, and livestock facilities.
Available in two practical packaging options, CAD3ET offers flexibility for pest management professionals. For large-scale or ongoing programs, the 18-pound pail provides a high-volume, durable storage solution. For more targeted applications or service routes requiring portability, the product is also offered in a convenient 4-pound resealable bag, with four bags per case.
As a Vitamin D3 rodenticide, CAD3ET is a valuable tool in resistance management strategies. It provides an alternative mode of action to traditional anticoagulants like bromadiolone or difethialone, making it effective against rodent populations that may have developed resistance. Applicators must follow all label instructions, use appropriate personal protective equipment, and ensure bait is placed securely within approved stations out of reach of children, pets, livestock, and non-target wildlife to mitigate secondary poisoning risks.
