Brodifacoum is a potent anticoagulant rodenticide used to control rat and mouse populations. It works by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase, which is essential for blood clotting. This leads to internal bleeding in rodents, ultimately resulting in their death. Due to its effectiveness, brodifacoum is often used in agricultural and urban settings. While brodifacoum is effective against rodents, it poses risks to non-target wildlife and pets if ingested. Therefore, it is crucial to use this chemical responsibly and follow safety guidelines to minimize unintended harm to wildlife and domestic animals.
