Abstract
Investigation on the new generation anticoagulant rodenticides was carried out on the Indian desert gerbil. Brodifacoum and bromadiolone were found to be highly effective against this species and gave desirable mortality within a reasonable period at a very low concentration. The post poison bait consumption showed insignificant deviation from normal bait showing that anticoagulant rodenticides do not produce bait shyness. To avoid over-killing of the rodent pest, the technique of pulse baiting is recommended.
