Mice and rats are considered pests that actively destroy food, animal feed, fruit and vegetable crops in open and protected ground, grain. To destroy animals, rodenticides are used - baits containing poison. Let's consider the effect of "Bromadiolone" on rodents, its composition and purpose, application according to the instructions from the manufacturer.

Composition and release form

Bromadiolone is an active compound in agricultural rodenticides that belongs to the chemical class of blood anticoagulants. The form in which the drugs are produced is varied - concentrate (0.25%), granules (2.5 g per 1 kg), capsules (0.00005%), small sachets, oil concentrate.The products work like an intestinal pesticide.

The principle of operation and the purpose of the drug

Bromadiolone, like other blood anticoagulants, does not act immediately after being eaten by animals, but after a while, it takes 1-2 days. The compound in the body of rodents inhibits the production of prothrombin by the liver. The rate of blood clotting decreases, the walls of blood vessels become permeable. Internal bleeding leads to death of animals in 3-7 days.

Rodenticide is a 2nd generation blood anticoagulant, but may cause some resistance in house mice and gray rats.

Rules of application and doses

"Bromadiolone" is used in agriculture and household plots against house mice, voles and gray rats, which harm fruit, vegetable, grain crops, perennial grasses in the open field and in greenhouses. They are used for the extermination of rodents in utility rooms, warehouses and the territories adjacent to them.

According to the instructions, the use of the bait looks like this: the bait is mixed with products that are attractive to rodents (compound feed, grain, cereals) in a proportion of 20 g per 1 kg. Vegetable oil (3% of the total volume), sugar (3-10%) are added to the bait, which attract animals even more.

Ready-made bait is laid out next to rodent passages, near walls in rooms, near partitions in special containers or handy tools adapted for this: boxes, trays and others. The bait is laid out at a distance of 2-15 m, the distance depends on the number of pests. For mice, the distance between baits should be less than for rats. The rate of application of rodenticide - for poisoning rats - 50-100 g, for mice - 10-25 g. 1-2 days after the first application of "Bromadiolone" portions of the bait are renewed. Then repeat with an interval of 1 week until the entire population is destroyed.
