Associations of a second-generation anticoagulant with an antibiotic and/or vitamin D are considered to be effective even against most resistant strains of rodents, though some second generation anticoagulants (namely brodifacoum and difethialone), in bait concentrations of 0.0025% to 0.005% are so toxic that resistance is unknown, and even ...
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses a slightly different definition for biocides as "a diverse group of poisonous substances including preservatives, insecticides, disinfectants, and pesticides used for the control of organisms that are harmful to human or animal health or that cause damage to natural or manufactured products ...
Rat-bite fever (RBF) is an acute, febrile human illness caused by bacteria transmitted by rodents, in most cases, which is passed from rodent to human by the rodent's urine or mucous secretions. Alternative names for rat-bite fever include streptobacillary fever, streptobacillosis, spirillary fever, bogger, and epidemic arthritic erythema.
A structured study was undertaken to develop a substance that would be both poisonous to rodents, but also would be readily eaten by rodents. Bromethalin—N- methyl -2,4- dinitro -N ( 2,4,6-tribromophenyl )-6-( trifluoromethyl ) benzeneamine — was the outcome of that study, as the specific formulation had both desired rodenticidal properties.
Sodium fluoroacetate is toxic to most obligate aerobic organisms, and highly toxic to mammals and insects. [4] The oral dose of sodium fluoroacetate sufficient to be lethal in humans is 2–10 mg/kg. [19] The toxicity varies with species. The New Zealand Food Safety Authority established lethal doses for a number of species. Dogs, cats, and ...
The law will place a permanent moratorium on a rat poison that unintentionally also kills predators, such as mountain lions, coyotes and other animals.
Indian toxicity label system Toxicity symbol for European toxicity class I and class II. Toxicity class refers to a classification system for pesticides that has been created by a national or international government-related or -sponsored organization.
Diphenadione is a vitamin K antagonist that has anticoagulant effects and is used as a rodenticide against rats, mice, voles, ground squirrels and other rodents. The chemical compound is an anti-coagulant with active half-life longer than warfarin and other synthetic 1,3-indandione anticoagulants.
