AB  - In addition to having a negative impact on the health of people and domestic animals, rodents
often cause enormous damage to the environment by disrupting natural biodiversity. The negative impacts of rodents in urban and rural areas have required intensive use of rodentcides in spite
of the proven risk of secondary poisoning of non-target predators and scavengers. Continuous and
intensive use of rodenticides has led to environmental pollution through their retention in the
environment. Commensal rodents are predominantly managed with anticoagulant rodenticides,
which are very persistent in the environment and move up the food chain and accumulate in the
bodies of predators and scavengers. Generally, the use of anticoagulant rodenticides continues,
and there is a need to take appropriate measures to reduce their harmful impact. The efficacy of
second generation anticoagulants (bromadiolone, difenacoum and brodifacoum), combined
either mutually or with chlorophacinone at reduced doses (0.001 % and 0.0008 %), in controlling
brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) was tested in a four-day no-choice feeding test. Combinations of
second generation anticoagulants were more effective than the combination of chlorophacinone
and second generation anticoagulants. The results indicate that combinations of different anticoagulants at multifold lower doses than the standard may provide a successful tool for brown rat
control and a more environment-friendly method of rodent control and protection of non-target
animals.
