Bromadiolone is a rodenticide meant to kill rats and mice. Anticoagulants like bromadiolone work by preventing the blood from clotting. Unlike some other rat poisons, which require multiple days of feeding by an animal, bromadiolone can be lethal from one day’s feeding.
Bromadiolone is in over 130 currently registered products. Generally, these products are pellets or bait blocks with 0.005% bromadiolone. Currently, they can be used in and around buildings and in some vehicles. Products sold in stores often contain blue-green or red dye. This can help to identify that an animal has been exposed.
In mammals, bromadiolone works by preventing the body from recycling vitamin K which is needed to clot blood. Once animals run out of vitamin K they can bleed to death. It can take several days for the body’s stores of vitamin K to be exhausted. Therefore, exposed animals may take several days to eventually die.
