What is Bromethalin?
Bromethalin is a highly potent pale, odorless, crystalline solid rodenticide that was specifically designed in 1985 to address the issue of rodent resistance to anticoagulant rodenticides. Anticoagulants are blood thinning toxins that work over time. Bromethalin, on the other hand, is a highly potent neurotoxin that delivers a fatal dose with just one feeding. It kills rodents with a single feeding and is found in products such as Fastrac Blox and Place Packs and Talpirid Mole Bait.
Bromethalin works by attacking and inhibiting the central nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
Death by bromethalin poisoning most often occurs within 24 to 36 hours after digestion.
What kind of rodents does Bromethalin target?
Bromethalin is used as an active ingredient in products that target rats, mice, and moles.
Bromethalin is a neurotoxin which attacks the central nervous system, blocking nerve activity and affecting muscle contraction. Death occurs within 24 to 35 hours after ingestion.
Bromethalin is extremely toxic and should always be handled with care, and kept out of areas where it may be accessible to pets or children. Always read the product label before using any product containing Bromethalin. When using bait formulations, always use a tamper-resistant bait box.
Bromethalin is extremely lethal to mice, rats, and other rodents. It is recommended that bromethalin products always be used with a tamper-proof bait station as secondary poisoning can occur in dogs and cats that eat a rodent killed by bromethalin (although this is uncommon). Symptoms of secondary bromethalin poisoning in animals include loss of ability to bark, loss of appetite, and lethargy. There is not an antidote at this time but symptoms can be treated with corticosteroids. Always read the product label carefully.
