Although this rodenticide [cholecalciferol] was introduced with claims that it was less toxic to nontarget species than to rodents, clinical experience has shown that rodenticides containing cholecalciferol are a significant health threat to dogs and cats.
If a dog has not eaten and has an empty stomach when ingesting zinc phosphide, signs may not be apparent for up to 12 hours. [23] Strychnine is another rodenticide that is dangerous and causes similar reactions to zinc phosphide exposure. If a dog survives 24–48 hours after this type of poisoning, they generally recover well. [24]
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 ...
Brodifacoum is a highly lethal 4-hydroxycoumarin vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant poison.In recent years, it has become one of the world's most widely used pesticides.It is typically used as a rodenticide, but is also used to control larger pests such as possums.
Warning label on a tube of rat poison containing bromadiolone on a dike of the Scheldt river in Steendorp, Belgium. 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.
Coumatetralyl is commonly used with grains and other cereals as a rodent poison in conjunction with a tracking powder to monitor feeding activity in a particular area. . Tracking powder also clings to fur, which allows more poison to be ingested from g
Tetramethylenedisulfotetramine (TETS) is an organic compound used as a rodenticide (rat poison). [2] It is an odorless, tasteless white powder that is slightly soluble in water, DMSO and acetone, and insoluble in methanol and ethanol. It is a sulfamide derivative. It can be synthesized by reacting sulfamide with formaldehyde solution in ...
