Raticide

Raticides are chemical agents used to control rodents. These drugs work by blocking nerve impulses in rats, causing them to die of hunger and thirst.

There are several types of raticides: organic, inorganic and combined. The most common among them are coccids, n-n-dicarbomides, and zoocides.

Coccids are organic raticidal substances. They are very effective and have a wide spectrum of action. In addition, these substances do not accumulate in the body of humans, animals and plants. One of the most famous coccids - cyclone - has the formula C13H20ClN, has a strong anticoagulating effect and promotes the breakdown of protein and fat deposits. Fox-raticide, consisting of two components - an anticoagulant and a coagulant, is also actively used. It is effective against rats and some other rodents and is used both as powders and as emulsions. Anidins, difenakur and cyperamethrin have proven themselves well in the fight against rodents. Anidin-based products kill all mice and rodents, even pregnant females. Difenacur works better in open areas and is fast-acting, while cyperamethrin is characterized by the widest possible spectrum of action and is well absorbed when swallowed. Granules of the latter can also be used in a dry room. Preparations are also produced containing several highly effective compounds (boron, wax, combined with non-ferrous compounds).
