PRESS RELEASE

Pest control product manufacturer and distributor BASF has announced the withdrawal of its difenacoum rodenticide range including Neosorexa® Gold, Neosorexa® Gold Ratpacks, Neosorexa® Bait Blocks, and Sorexa® D products later this year. 

Anthony O’Hare, Regional Business Manager for BASF’s Professional & Specialty Solutions, said: “At BASF we are committed to innovate to address our customers’ needs for effective and sustainable solutions to support their daily work best.

"With the recent additions of Storm Ultra and Selontra to our product portfolio, we offer a complementary range of rodenticides addressing the needs for fast, highly efficient, resistance-breaking and sustainable rodent control solutions.

“Going forward we will focus on further developing our offer around the most potent anticoagulant flocoumafen, and the highly effective alternative to anticoagulants, cholecalciferol. We decided to not renew difenacoum and difenacoum-based products under the BPR.”

Accordingly, BASF’s difenacoum-based products will be phased-out in Europe in 2023 as shown in the table below.
