Anticoagulant Rodenticides and Wildlife
Commensal rodents consume and spoil crops and food supplies, cause property damage and can be vectors for disease. Rats have also invaded islands and can pose a serious threat to native wildlife, particularly seabirds. Estimates of rodent damage range into the billions of dollars in developed count...
