¿rodenticides?
Rodents are vectors of many diseases and cause significant damage to the places where they live.
They reproduce continuously since the gestation of the female lasts from 22 to 24 days, and from each gestation 8 to 12 small rodents are born. For this reason, it is very important to prevent them from multiplying.
The rodents are intelligent animals , and they are afraid of the unknown, so it is important to put pressure on them in the place where we put the poison, so that they feel the need to eat.
Currently, the most widespread rodenticides are those with anticoagulant-type active ingredients (they cause internal bleeding, without the rodent suffering).
The anticoagulant rodenticides They may be:
-
first generation: therodent must consume more quantity of food to die, but they degrade more quickly in your body, avoiding secondary contamination.
-
second generation:act faster, due to its higher toxicity.
The most common presentations of rodenticides are the following:
-
Cereal: they are cereal grains coated with poison.
-
block and ovules: they are prepared with flours, cereals and vegetable oils, with great resistance to humidity.
-
fresh bait: formulated with micro-flours and vegetable oils, which kill with the first ingestion.
