Bromadiolone is a potent anticoagulant rodenticide used to control rodent populations, particularly rats and mice. It works by interfering with the blood's ability to clot, leading to internal bleeding in the targeted pests. Bromadiolone is often found in bait formulations, making it effective for both indoor and outdoor use. This chemical is part of the brodifacoum family of rodenticides and is typically used in agricultural and urban settings. While effective for pest control, it poses risks to non-target wildlife and pets if ingested, necessitating careful application and storage to prevent accidental exposure.
