Laboratory evaluation of a toxicant‐sterilant, alpha‐chlorohydrin, for the control of Indian mole rat Bandicota bengalensis
SUMMARY A toxicant‐sterilant, alpha‐chlorohydrin, was evaluated against the Indian mole rat Bandicota bengalensis and the ship or house rat Rattus rattus. It caused 100% mortality of B. bengalensis at 100 mg/kg but no mortality was observed in R. rattus even at 300 mg/kg. The acute oral LD 50 for B....
