Rodent Fertility Control Pellets

WISDOM Good Bites, LLC manufactures and distributes Good Bites™ rodent fertility control pellets. Good Bites are a highly palatable, plant-based pellet containing a botanical birth control formula that is proven to reduce rodent populations dramatically. A specially designed feeder facilitates delivery of the pellets in a safe, protected environment. The feeder design also assists in excluding non-target species.

Our product was developed in cooperation with WISDOM Good Works, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to changing the paradigm of pest management from poison-based products to a more holistic, sustainable solution.

Why Fertility Control?

Reproductively, rodents are some of the most successful mammals on the planet. Females can give birth to litters of 5 to 8 pups up to 10 times a year. Science shows us that in the long-term, poisons do not work; they typically will not eliminate all rodents, and those that survive pass on their adapted resistance to poison to future generations. The safest, most humane, least toxic, and most sustainable approach is fertility-control technology.

How it Works

Assessment. An initial site inspection to determine infestation levels and create a plan, including the number and placement of feeding stations needed.

Discovery. Feeding stations are placed and consumption rates are monitored. Peak pellet consumption typically occurs within the first 60-90 days.

Population Reduction. After peak consumption is reached, the population goes down as new generations are prevented. Typical reduction during this time is 50%.

Maintenance. After consumption decreases, the number of feeders can be reduced to a level that maintains a suppressed, balanced population, with reductions typically in the range of 62% to 98%. (The range is often dependent on how open or closed an area is and how easily new rodents can migrate into the area)
