Targeted Rodent Control With Lower-Impact Treatment Options
Mice and rats can damage property, contaminate stored food and quickly become difficult to control once they establish themselves inside or around a home. All Green Pest Control takes a targeted approach to rodent control using professional treatment methods selected to provide effective control while minimizing unnecessary environmental impact.
For both mice and rats, we use Selontra® rodent bait, a professional non-anticoagulant soft bait from BASF. Its active ingredient, cholecalciferol, works differently than traditional anticoagulant rodenticides and can provide complete control of an infestation in as few as seven days.
Professional Rodent Control With Less Reliance on Traditional Anticoagulants
Rodent control is not just about getting rid of mice and rats. The treatment method matters too, especially when wildlife, pets and the surrounding environment are part of the equation.
Non-Anticoagulant Bait
Selontra uses cholecalciferol rather than a traditional anticoagulant active ingredient, giving professional technicians another option for controlling difficult mouse and rat infestations.
Reduced Secondary Exposure Risk
Cholecalciferol is readily metabolized and is not bioaccumulative. This helps reduce secondary-poisoning concerns compared with many traditional anticoagulant rodenticides when the product is used according to label directions.
Fast Colony Control
Selontra is designed for fast control, with complete rodent control possible in as few as seven days depending on the infestation and site conditions.
Highly Palatable
The soft bait formulation is designed to be attractive to rats and mice even when other food sources are available around the property.
Stops Feeding Quickly
After consuming a lethal dose, rodents typically stop feeding within approximately 24 hours, helping reduce continued feeding, damage and contamination.
Professional Placement
Rodent bait should be placed strategically and securely. All Green Pest Control evaluates activity, entry areas and feeding patterns before determining appropriate bait locations.
Why We Use Selontra® for Mice & Rats
Selontra is a professional rodent bait developed by BASF for the control of rats and mice in and around buildings. Unlike many conventional rodenticides, it is not an anticoagulant.
- Controls both rats and mice
- Non-anticoagulant active ingredient
- Uses cholecalciferol as its active ingredient
- Highly palatable soft bait formulation
- Rodents typically stop feeding after a lethal dose
- Complete control may be possible in as few as seven days
- Designed for professional use in and around buildings
Because the active ingredient is readily metabolized rather than accumulating in the rodent’s body, Selontra can help reduce secondary-poisoning concerns compared with many anticoagulant rodenticides. However, all rodent baits must still be used carefully and according to label directions.
How Selontra Works
Selontra contains cholecalciferol. When a rodent consumes a lethal dose, the active ingredient disrupts calcium regulation in the body. Rodents generally stop feeding within about 24 hours, with mortality typically occurring within several days.
The fast stop-feeding effect also means affected rodents consume less additional bait and spend less time feeding on other food sources around the property.
All rodenticide products should be applied only according to their registered label and professional treatment requirements.
Rat Burrow Treatment With IGI CO₂
Rats frequently create underground tunnel systems and nesting chambers around foundations, landscaping, sheds and other exterior areas. When active rat burrows are present, All Green Pest Control can use IGI CO₂ Powered by Liphatech as another professional treatment option.
IGI CO₂ introduces carbon dioxide into the confined underground burrow system. Because the gas works within the enclosed tunnel or burrow, it provides a highly targeted way to address rats that are sheltering underground.
- Designed specifically for underground burrows and tunnels
- Effective against burrowing Norway rats
- Quiet treatment process
- CO₂ is odorless, invisible and non-flammable
- Can be used around residential properties
- Can be applied next to occupied buildings
- Targets rats while they are inside their underground burrow system
Since IGI CO₂ is an exterior burrow treatment, it can be performed around an occupied home without treating the home’s interior with the gas.
A Targeted Approach to Rodent Control
Different rodent problems require different tools. All Green Pest Control evaluates where rodents are living, feeding and entering before determining the appropriate treatment strategy.
For Mice & Rats
- Selontra professional soft bait
- Non-anticoagulant mode of action
- Fast stop-feeding effect
- Potential colony control in as few as seven days
- Reduced secondary-poisoning concerns
- Professional bait placement
For Active Rat Burrows
- IGI CO₂ burrow treatment
- Targets rats underground
- No traditional rodenticide bait placed inside the burrow
- Quiet application
- Can be used around occupied buildings
- Designed for exterior burrow systems
Seeing Signs of Mice or Rats?
Droppings, gnaw marks, scratching noises and burrows around the foundation can all indicate rodent activity. The sooner the source of the problem is identified, the easier it is to develop an effective control plan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mice & Rat Control
What does All Green Pest Control use for mice and rats?
All Green Pest Control uses Selontra professional rodent bait for both mice and rats. Selontra is a non-anticoagulant soft bait containing cholecalciferol and is designed for professional rodent control in and around buildings.
How quickly can Selontra control a rodent infestation?
Selontra is designed for fast rodent control. Depending on the infestation and treatment conditions, complete control can be possible in as few as seven days. Rodents that consume a lethal dose generally stop feeding within approximately 24 hours.
Why use a non-anticoagulant rodent bait?
Selontra uses cholecalciferol rather than a traditional anticoagulant active ingredient. Cholecalciferol is readily metabolized and does not bioaccumulate in the same way as many anticoagulant rodenticides, helping reduce secondary-poisoning concerns when it is used properly.
How do you treat rat burrows outside a home?
When appropriate, All Green Pest Control can use IGI CO₂ to treat active underground rat burrows. Carbon dioxide is introduced into the confined tunnel system, allowing the treatment to target rats while they are inside the burrow.
Do I have to leave my home during exterior rat burrow treatment?
IGI CO₂ is an outdoor burrow treatment and is used around residential properties and next to occupied buildings. It is applied directly into underground burrow systems rather than throughout the interior of the home. Your technician will explain any property-specific precautions before treatment.
