Wildlife Damage Management, Internet Center for   Date of this
Version  April 1987   I appreciate the opportunity to convey the
current and future status of rodenticides and predacides at this
workshop. According to the computer, the Agency has 2,888
products classified as vertebrate control agents. The Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act tends to clump all
vertebrate pesticides as rodenticides. This includes fish
toxicants such as TFM; bird toxicants and repellents such as
Starlicide and Avitrol; dog repellents such as lemongrass oil;
bat toxicants and repellents such as naphthalene; commensal
rodent toxicants such as warfarin, diphacinone, bromadiolone,
brodifacoum, and red squill; field use rodenticides for many
species (e.g., prairie dogs, ground squirrels) using pesticides
such as 1080, strychnine, zinc phosphide; predacides such as
1080 and sodium cyanide; and animal browsing repellents such as
thirara and putrescent whole egg solids.
