Rodenticides are chemical substances used to control and eliminate rodent populations, such as mice and rats. These products work by disrupting the normal biological functions of rodents, often leading to death. Rodenticides come in various forms, including baits, pellets, and liquids, and are typically placed in areas where rodent activity is observed. While effective, rodenticides can pose risks to non-target animals and humans if not used properly. It is essential to follow safety guidelines and instructions when applying these substances to minimize potential hazards. Additionally, some rodenticides are designed to be less toxic to pets and wildlife, promoting safer pest control practices.
