Liphatech: Generation Bait

IMAGE: LIPHATECH
IMAGE: LIPHATECH

Just like rodents, pest management professionals (PMPs) keep coming back to Generation products. For decades, Generation has been a go-to solution for effectively controlling nuisance house mice, Norway rats and roof rats, helping PMPs to take control of difficult rodent infestations.

When PMPs find a product that is as hardworking as they are, they tend to stick with it. A second-generation anticoagulant rodenticide, Generation mini blocks are formulated with the scientific power of Liphatech’s exclusive active ingredient difethialone, the same active ingredient in its leading soft bait, FirstStrike.

The palatability of Generation mini blocks makes it an effective solution against rodents. Generation 20-gram mini blocks contain appealing ingredients for natural feeding preferences in rats and mice. The mini blocks are designed with rodent gnawing edges and a center hole for securing in tamper-resistant bait stations. Generation mini blocks are available in 16-pound pails or cases of four 4-pound bags.

The Generation line also includes pellets and pellet place packs. Available in 20-pound pails, Generation pellets are a good choice for burrow baiting. The pellet shape mimics seeds in the rodent environment, and added paraffin provides moisture tolerance for the bait. Generation 25-gram pellet place packs are ideal for quick and proper bait placement in hard-to-reach baiting locations. A special film on the place pack keeps pellets fresh until they are consumed by rodents, and the bait is available in 100-pack pails.

In addition to products such as Generation, Liphatech offers a well-tenured team of technical experts who can assist PMPs with making the best block choices. These industry leaders can also offer guidance about using other tools, such as cameras for location monitoring or nontoxic attractants that can help PMPs better understand the problem and how to bring it under control.

About Liphatech

With U.S. headquarters based in Milwaukee, Wis., Liphatech is a worldwide manufacturer of pest control products. It is considered to be the developer of three of the industry’s active ingredients: chlorophacinone, bromadiolone and difethialone.

About Kness Pest Defense

Per company history, the Ketch-All was invented by a young, widowed father of six, Austin Enos “Brick” Kness, in 1924. Mice were prevalent at the high school in which Kness was a custodian, “and led him to the idea of the ‘box’ trap. He built the first trap from a square oilcan, a Tuxedo Tobacco can, a spring from a curtain rod, and the wood base of a crate. The first night he set his trap, he captured five mice.

“He was elated and showed the teachers and his friends. He was encouraged to build others for his friends and to seek a patent. By 1927, Kness Mfg. Co. was formed to produce the KetchAll Automatic Mousetrap and another of Kness’ inventions, the RotoBow tree saw.”

Brick Kness was inducted into the Pest Management Professional Hall of Fame in 2024.
