Abstract

The article presents data of laboratory studies of the rodenticidal activity of baits consisting of a complex agent (anticoagulant plus synergist) in the form of gel in comparison with the rodenticidal activity of baits made on the basis of wheat groats. It is found that the rodenticidal activity of gel-like baits in comparison with «loose» baits is higher. This is probably due to the fact, that gel-like baits are eaten by experimental rodents slightly higher than baits made of wheat grits. As a result, rodents faster received the necessary lethal dose of the complex drug.
