Mouseoff ZP continues to be the market leading brand for broadacre scale management of mouse populations across Australia since its launch some 25 years ago.
Many mice plagues have come and gone since the turn of the century but the one consistent and common feature throughout them all has been Mouseoff and ACTA in supporting resellers, agronomists and broadacre farmers in times of peril.
Mouseoff ZP contains the active zinc phosphide, which works quickly and effectively to reduce mice populations by depressing the central nervous system and inhibiting the mouse’s basic organ function.
Since the turn of the century Mouseoff has been protecting Australian broadacre cropping, and while other brands and formulations have come and gone, Mouseoff ZP 25g/kg continues to be the go-to product in times of need.
ACTA general manager Bradley Power is reminding all resellers and agronomists timely monitoring of mouse activity in crops remains essential in the lead up to sowing and emergence.
In 2025 resellers, agronomists and farmers are proactively monitoring, assessing and baiting prior to seeding this year with lessons learnt from previous seasons when mice populations escalated very quickly at seeding time, with yield losses and resowing a costly reality for many growers.
With mice populations building in multiple regions this summer, mouse infestations could have significant financial impacts on the upcoming 2025 broadacre sowing season with key areas of concern being the Mallee and Wimmera regions of Victoria, the Darling Downs in Queensland and more widely speaking, northern NSW.
Many of these regions have had ample feed and refuge left over from the previous harvest and with some regions experiencing summer rains, which have also allowed to use numbers to continue to flourish.
Baiting with Mouseoff ZP is a fast, cost effective and environmentally safe option for rodent control in crops and leaves no residues in the crop, soil or in the environment.
Mouse monitoring kits and chew cards continue to be available from ACTA and have proven to add real value to stores, farmers and agronomists alike when numbers are truly hard to assess.
