THE EFFICIENCY OF SOME ANTi-COAGULANT RODENTICIDES AGAINST HOUSE MICE Mus musculus AND SHIP RATS Rattus rattus
Etay El- Baroud Agriculture Research Station, ARC., Egypt
Abstract
Laboratory feeding tests were carried out to determine the eff1cacy of four
anticoagulant rodenticides, brodifacoum 0.001 %, flocuomafin 0.005%, coumatetralyl
0.0375% and chiorophacinone 0.005% baits against the house mice Mus muscuius
and the ship rats Rattus rattus which were trapped from Etay El Baroud district El
Sehera Governorate . “No- choice” feeding tests were carried out ¡n the laboratory.
Results indicated that all anticoagulants caused complete mortality for rats of
the two species. Brodifacoum killed all animals after a shorter time (3. 5 and 4.8 days)
than ocoumafin (4.5 and 4.9 days) followed by coumatetralyl (5.13 and 6.1 days) and
then chlorophacinone (5.17 and 6.4 days) for Rattus rattus and Mus musculus,
respectively with less quantity of consumed bait. For mean time to death no
significant differences were observed between sexes of the two species. All rats had
decreased food consumption after the second day of treatment. In general, the results
seemed that the entire tested compound showed good effect with the order being
brodifacoum, followed by flocoumafin then coumatetralyl and cilorophacinone baits
