LABORATORY AND FIELD EVALUATION OF DIFETHIALONE, A NEW ANTICOAGULANT RODENTICIDE
The efficacy of the newly developed anticoagulant rodenticide, difethialone was evaluated against various rodent species in laboratory and fields. Difethialone at 0.025% concentration in the form of loose bait (broken wheat and rice + vegetable oil + garlic powder) gave absolute mortality in Rattus...

No significant difference was noted in poison bait intake and mean days to death between two and three days poison feeding.
