Brodifacoum was registered for controlling rats and mice in and around structures, households, industrial sites and transportation vehicles including trucks, ships, and airplanes.
For example, if a consumer treated his or her home for rodents in 1990, we estimate that there is an 87% probability that the product contained brodifacoum, a 10% probability for warfarin, and a 3% probability for other, unspecified active ingredients.
