Although internal bleeding is the usual cause of death in this category of rodenticides, chlorophacinone has also been shown to cause additional cardiopulmonary or neurologic symptoms in laboratory rats, often leading to their death before significant bleeding occurs. [5] [17]
Rodenticides are chemicals made and sold for the purpose of killing rodents. While commonly referred to as "rat poison", rodenticides are also used to kill mice, woodchucks, chipmunks, porcupines, nutria, beavers, [1] and voles. [2] Some rodenticides are lethal after one exposure while others require more than one.

Bromadiolone is a potent anticoagulant rodenticide. It is a second-generation 4-hydroxycoumarin derivative and vitamin K antagonist, often called a "super-warfarin" for its added potency and tendency to accumulate in the liver of the poisoned organism. When first introduced to the UK market in 1980, it was effective against rodent populations ...
