Why are these ZP Bait products discontinued and what do you recommend to use as a replacement?
admin says
Pest control products are almost always discontinued because they’re not generating enough profit. And since the test data for rodenticides is constantly under review, if a particular product isn’t “earning its way” with sales, its easy to “retire” the label and move on.
This happens because “going under review” means more research, more tests and more paperwork all of which require money. And lots of it. And who pays? That’s easy: the manufacturing company. And if the cost of this work/research exceeds the payback, companies will choose to stop making something instead of suffering a loss.
In the end, the “red tape” process typically weeds out “weak” products so whats left to use is generally the best our market place has available to sell. And if you click any of the links above in the “Replacement Bait Option” section, you’ll see there are several options still on the market all of which work at least as good as any ZP based active.
