ContraPest is a proactive, long-term solution that targets rodents by population, not by individuals. Better yet, it’s non-lethal. Using this revolutionary liquid bait within an integrated pest management program will result in a comprehensive and sustainable approach to successful rodent pest control.
That math might seem off, but the numbers don’t lie—two breeding rats can be responsible for the birth of up to 15,000 pups over the course of a year. The bottom line sounds daunting, but there’s a method behind their reproductive madness.
Traditional pest control tools are reactive: they eliminate rats quickly when populations boom. However, without fertility control, it only takes two rats to initiate a rebound, growing the population back to its original size or larger within a matter of months. Under the right circumstances, a rodent population may never be fully controlled with lethal methods alone.
ContraPest has two active ingredients: 4-vinylcyclohexene diepoxide (VCD) and triptolide.
Triptolide, derived from the thunder god vine Tripterygium wilfordii, has been used in traditional Chinese medicines and other over-the-counter supplements. Triptolide affects the reproductive capacity of both male and female rats. VCD is an occupational chemical that selectively destroys ovarian follicles in rats.
