Brodifacoum 0.005% Rodenticide Products indirect anticoagulant
Description:
Brodifaccoum is indirect anticoagulant. It is a kindo of rodenticide effective against
warfarin-resistant rats. It is usually sold as ready to use bait in pellets, mini-pellets
and waterproof bait containing 0.005% brodifacoum (loose or in bait packs).Indicated
for control of Norwegian rats, roof rats and house mice in public, industrial and
commercial buildings, in residences and outdoor urban areas. The application may
be carried out by professional pest control personnel orby the public in general.
Theoretically, the substance may be considered for development as a therapeutic
agent in anticoagulant therapy, but the difficulty in reversal of effects constitutes a
major disadvantage (Jones et al., 1984).

Controls most rodent pests, including Rattus norvegicus, R. rattus, Mus musculus
and M. domesticus, at lower rates than many other anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin
and pindone); also Cricetus cricetus, Mesocricetus auratus, Microtus pennsylvanicus,
M. pinetorum, R. argentiventer, R. rattus mindanensis and rodents, such as hamsters,
