Detour Gel for Rats is a non-toxic rat repellent designed to deter rats from specific areas. The active ingredient is Capsaicin (0.0357%). It works by utilizing the natural heat and irritation of capsaicin to make an area undesirable to rats. This product is intended for use in both indoor and outdoor settings, such as residential or commercial areas, including buildings, structures, and food preparation areas. It is applied as a gel directly to surfaces where rats are known to frequent or where they may come into contact with the product. Because it is non-toxic, it is often used as a deterrent rather than a lethal control method. When applying, ensure the gel is placed on surfaces that rats will encounter. Note that the product is a repellent, not a pesticide meant to kill pests. Users should handle the product carefully to avoid contact with eyes or skin due to the capsaicin content.
