For the fast-acting rodenticide bromethalin, for example, there is no diagnostic test or antidote. [ 23 ] This has led environmental researchers to conclude that low strength, long duration rodenticides (generally first generation anticoagulants) are the best balance between maximum effect and minimum risk.
