Abstract: LANIRAT-B is an up-to-date, ready-to-use rodenticide bait which is highly palatable to both rats and mice. Rats and mice consume sufficient amounts of LANIRAT-B even if their usual poison-free food is also available. The laboratory experiments conducted by us have proved that LANIRAT-B resulted in 100 % mortality even if the animals consumed it only for one day. With LANIRAT-B, there is no need for using higher active ingredient concentrations for mouse killing, as mice consume 2.6 LD50 of the bromadiolone active ingredient even under the least favourable conditions (presence of abundant alternative food, one-day feeding of LANIRAT-B). The ready-to-use bait is highly stable and can be preserved without loss of quality for a long time. The active ingredient bromadiolone is known to be effective also against rodent species which have become tolerant or resistant to first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (e. g. warfarin). A further advantage of rodenticides containing bromadiolone is that the risk of primary and secondary poisoning of domestic animals is relatively low. LANIRAT-B can become an ideal rodenticide on animal farms, in food products factories and granaries.
