STV has launched The Big Cheese Poison-Free Rodent Control range to meet the growing demand for alternatives to traditional poison baits as a means of ridding homes and gardens of mice and rats.
According to the company, over a third of total rodent control sales are made up of poison baits and The Big Cheese sales have more than doubled in value since new regulations were introduced 5 years ago, restricting pack sizes and reducing the levels of active ingredient contained in poison baits.
 “But in spite of the growth, consumer concerns persist ,” the Company says. “And our customers are looking for safe and effective solutions that will neither contaminate the environment, nor pose any risk to children and pets in home environments.” This follows on from concerns around wildlife contamination, according to STV, including industry research revealing that almost 90% of all barn owls tested show traces of rodenticide in the livers.
“Risk-Free control of mice and rats,” is what The Big Cheese Poison-Free product range promises as an alternative. The range includes patent pending live-capture trap systems that are built around tried and tested poison-free block bait, which STV claims “is irresistible to mice and rats.”
There are products for both indoor and outdoor use, and the seven product micro range is fully supported with informative merchandise displays and POS information to assist householders with product selection.
 STV is encouraging all hardware and garden stockists of The Big Cheese range to support its new development with listings, and to provide their customers with a safe and effective alternative to poison baits. “Support The Big Cheese ~ work towards a poison-free future,” the company says.

This is a great way of providing consumers with great value for money whilst also driving up the retail transaction values.

 Spring is just around the corner and gardeners will soon be thinking about how to protect their fruit trees, shrubs, and other plants from damaging insect attack.
The trend towards more natural gardening methods continues, and retailers report the demand for organic products shows no sign of slowing. Consumers are seeking out more ways to control pests whilst also maintaining a natural, biodiverse environment in their gardens where wildlife and plants can thrive.
The Defenders range includes a wealth of product solutions designed to appeal to these nature-loving consumers. The new Bird & Bee Safe Organic Protection range has been designed to make sure all non-target species of wildlife, and especially pollinating insects, are kept free from harm – whilst also targeting specific plant pests that may devastate gardens and crops. The pheromone traps contain no harmful chemicals and are made from 100% recycled environmentally friendly board. Some of the most common and disfiguring pests can now be controlled easily and organically, including Box Tree moths, Horse Chestnut Leaf Miners, Tomato Leaf Miners, Plum Maggots and Apple (Codling) Moths.
Prices start at RRP £4.99 for refills and RRP £9.99 for pheromone traps.

The Big Cheese on the road
After an interesting couple of years when we were sometimes constrained behind our devices, and even a handshake was out of line, STV are delighted to be able to have those friendly, face-to-face conversations again with their customers...
After an interesting couple of years when we were sometimes constrained behind our devices, and even a handshake was out of line, STV are delighted to be able to have those friendly, face-to-face conversations again with their customers.
STV announced the opening of their new showroom in Brandon, Norfolk in September of last year and have enjoyed meeting and greeting customers since then. However, they recognise that it is not realistic for every retail buyer to visit their showroom on a regular basis. Many of their most loyal customers are smaller retailers with limited staff to cover for absences so, the fact is, many some buyers struggle to find time to visit their suppliers.
So, STV created ‘The Big Cheese Mobile Showroom’. It’s a compact version of their full showroom offer and focusses on best-selling, Top100 lines. The whole pest control category is represented so it provides a full category-managed solution for small and medium size retailers.
The mobile showroom has been up and down the country from the North of Scotland to the South- West of England - sometimes in extreme weather conditions! Shaun Bowden, Sales Executive at STV, says: "Since the launch of the mobile showroom, we have visited nearly 100 retailers up and down the country and enjoyed a warm welcome everywhere we went. It is fantastic to get out to see our customers and show them our unique range. It’s really helped to make their seasonal range listings and ordering quick and efficient."
To book your visit from The Mobile Showroom, please contact STV using the details below.
