| Abstract | ||
| The anticoagulant rodenticides consumption at Etay El - Baroud district from 1989 to 1998 were recorded . The total amounts were 230.599 tons in 64200 feddans. Seven types were found. There was warfarin, coumatetralyl, chlorophacinone, bromadiolone difenacoum and difacinone Coumatetralyl was the most widely used compound (91 819 tons ). On the other hand the amount of anticoagulant rodenticides consumed from 1980 to 1989 were 861 250 tons in the same area (The Egyptian / German Control Project). Rodent population density and species were survived at Etay El - Baroud district in 1998, four common species with different ratio were found the dominant species were Raitus rattus, followed by Mus muscuuls then Arvecanlhis ni/oticous and Raftus norvegicus. Field trials for detection of resistance to tested floucoumafin and coumatetralyl were carried out. Foucoumafin was more effective than coumatetralyl These results were parallel to the bait consumption and the number of points with take divided on number of points with take on day two • The LTso values were 8and 20 days for the tested rodenticides, respectively | ||
