Abstract
THE development of rat and mouse strains resistant to warfarin and other anticoagulants has emphasized the need for other means of rodent control. The most important drawback of both anticoagulants and acute poisons is that failure to achieve complete eradication can result in accelerated breeding by the surviving animals and the population being rapidly restored to its original size.
