Exit Concentrate Rodenticide - A Non-Toxic & Biodegradable rodenticide by Exit Products Canada

1	What is EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide?
	EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide is a new non-toxic Rodenticide recently approved by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) for the control of Richardson's Ground Squirrels in Canada. EXIT is a concentrate designed to be mixed with water to form a field solution.

2	How is EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide used?
	EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide is mixed at a ratio of 4 liters of concentrate to 96 litres of water to form the "field solution". The field solution is pumped through an aspirating nozzle to produce EXIT foam. The EXIT foam is directed into the burrow through a perforated cone and completely fills the ground squirrel burrow. All ground squirrels in the burrow are treated.

3	How does it work?
	The EXIT foam completely fills the ground squirrel burrow. The ground squirrel breathes in the EXIT foam and becomes unconscious within 2 minutes. In most cases, ground squirrels in the burrow are asphyxiated in approximately 3 minutes from the time of application.

4	How effective is EXIT?
	The testing required during the registration process showed that EXIT is 95 - 100% effective when applied correctly. Our experience has shown that when active burrows are identified and treated, the majority of the ground squirrels in the burrows die. There may be cases where a treated ground squirrel escapes the burrow. Usually they will enter another burrow where they can be re-treated.

5	Is it hazardous?
	EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide is non-toxic and non-hazardous when used as directed. There are no hazardous or toxic substances in EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide. The EXIT foam biodegrades quickly and has no long-term residual effects.

How does it affect the environment?

The majority of the EXIT foam produced is contained within the ground squirrel burrow system and rapidly biodegrades. Any EXIT foam on the surface disappears rapidly and gets biodegraded. The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) carefully examined EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide and concluded that no environmental concerns exist regarding the use of EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide when used as directed.

Is the use of EXIT labor intensive?

The average Richardson's ground squirrel burrow requires 10-20 seconds to treat. Where older, established colonies are being treated, the burrows may be larger and require more time and foam to treat. It is less labor intensive than trapping or placing baits properly at the opening of every burrow. The most effective way to treat an area is to identify the main colony and treat all active burrows with EXIT. Then from the main colony, expand the treatment area outward until the entire area has been treated.

Treated areas will only require periodic maintenance treatments to prevent re-invasion.

8	Will EXIT harm other species?
	Yes, it may harm other species if they are present in a burrow being treated. Burrows must be inspected prior to treatment to ensure that they are inhabited by only Richardson's ground squirrels and no other species.

9	Is EXIT safe to use in my yard or around my house?
	Yes. Application of the product is limited to active burrows. The EXIT® foam is contained within the burrow and any residual will rapidly disappear.

10	What would happen if my dog or another predator comes in contact with a treated Richardson's ground squirrel?
	EXIT poses no danger to any predators through secondary poisoning or other harmful effects. All of the treated ground squirrels will die in the burrow. If by any chance a ground squirrel escapes, it poses no danger to any predators. There is no secondary poisoning or other harmful effects when using EXIT.

11	Is EXIT application equipment available?
	Yes. Complete application kits and all the components used in the kit are available from EXIT Products Canada.

12	How do I clean my EXIT application equipment?
	Simply flush water through the system to clean EXIT application equipment. The residual water can be disposed of as directed on the label, or may be used to mix with EXIT® Concentrate Rodenticide to make additional field solution.
