Rodenticides typically work by disrupting vital biological processes in rodents. There are several classes of rodenticides, each with its mechanism of action:
Anticoagulants: These are the most common type, inhibiting blood clotting and causing internal bleeding. Neurotoxins: These affect the central nervous system, leading to paralysis or seizures. Metabolic Poisons: These disrupt essential metabolic processes, leading to organ failure. Hypercalcemia Agents: These cause an increase in blood calcium levels, resulting in cardiac arrest.
