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.
First-generation rodenticidal anticoagulants generally have shorter elimination half-lives, [10] require higher concentrations (usually between 0.005% and 0.1%) and consecutive intake over days in order to accumulate the lethal dose, and are less toxic than second-generation agents.
Food products and household items commonly handled by humans can be toxic to dogs. The symptoms can range from simple irritation to digestion issues, behavioral changes, and even death.

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.
The best known Chinese rodenticide, containing about 6–20% TETS, is Dushuqiang, "very strong rat poison". It has been used for mass poisonings in China: in April 2004, there were 74 casualties after eating scallion-flavored pancakes tainted by their vendor's competitor; and in September 2002, 400 people were poisoned and 38 died from ...
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.
Pyrinuron (Pyriminil, Vacor) is a chemical compound formerly used as a rodenticide. [1] Commercial distribution was voluntarily suspended in 1979 and it is not approved by the Environmental Protection Agency for use in the United States. [2]
