RODENTICIDES
These are compounds which kill rats,
mice, moles, and other rodents. Examples, anticoagulants, thallium, vacor,
phosphorus, zinc and aluminium phosphide, alpha-naphthyl-thiourea,
cholecalciferol, arsenic, barium carbonate, bromethalin, fluoroacetamide,
sodium monofluoroacetamide, red squill, strychnine.
Some of these are very commonly involved in human poisoning,
e.g. phosphorus, zinc and aluminium phos-phide, long acting anticoagulants
(especially broma-diolone), etc., but they have been discussed elsewhere
(consult Index).
