VIDEO | Modern rodenticides in focus

CPD VIDEO

In this sponsored session, Richard Faulkner, Envu, explores the history and science behind rodenticides, from their earliest use through to today’s anticoagulants and emerging alternatives.

Richard explains how rodenticides target rodents, the differences between chronic, sub-acute, and acute modes of action, and the importance of understanding toxicity values in pest control.

This talk is essential for anyone wanting to deepen their knowledge of rodenticides and their role in modern pest management.

Key topics covered:

  • What is a rodenticide?
  • LD50 and toxicity explained
  • The history of rodenticides
  • Anticoagulants: first and second generation
  • Non-anticoagulants: cholecalciferol, alpha-chloralose, and more
  • Future developments and upcoming products
  • Live Q&A highlights.
