Definitie & Betekenis van "rodenticide"

What is "rodenticide"?

Rodenticide is a chemical substance used to kill rodents, such as rats and mice. It comes in different forms, including blocks and liquids, and is designed to be placed in areas where rodents are active. Rodenticides work by affecting the rodents' ability to function properly, often interfering with their blood clotting or causing internal damage. While effective at controlling rodent populations, they can be harmful to other animals and humans, so they must be used carefully and according to instructions to avoid accidental poisoning.
