Rat Poison

Rat poison is a type of pesticide designed to kill rodents, primarily rats and mice. It usually contains toxic chemical compounds that interfere with vital processes in the animals, such as blood clotting or respiratory function. Common active ingredients include anticoagulants like bromadiolone or brodifacoum, which prevent blood from clotting, leading to internal bleeding. These poisons come in various forms, such as pellets, blocks, or powder, and are used in homes, gardens, and farms to control rodent populations. Caution is essential, as rat poison can also be harmful to pets and humans if ingested.
