We advocate Bitrex as the 3rd line of defense against accidental poisonings.   

1. Safe Handling
It is vital that all household chemicals are stored correctly, out of the reach of inquisitive hands and preferably in a locked cupboard.  It is also well known that you should not decant chemicals into other containers that are not labelled correctly

2. Child Resistant Closures
Child-resistant packaging reduces child poisoning rates. However they are not always effective. Possible reasons for the failure of re-closable child-resistant packaging, including the following:

- Some children are able to open a properly closed CRC
- Misuse of the container, including adults failing to close the CRC properly (leaving the lid loose or off) or
  transferring the contents to a non-CRC container
- An older child opening the container and giving the contents to a younger child
- Closures that do not continue to function as designed over the period of use
- A broken or faulty container.

3. Purchase Products containing Bitrex
Bitrex provides that additional peace of mind, that should your household product get into your child's hands, it has the added safety measure of being exceptionally unpalatable.  You would be surprised at how attractive some household products are (sweet smelling / brightly coloured) and every product displaying the Bitrex logo has passed through our standardised taste testing protocol to determine the effective Bitrex dosage.
