rodenticide
Rat-killing chemical
A rodenticide is a poison designed to kill rodents—rats, mice, and similar pests.
Most work as anticoagulants, causing internal bleeding.
The exterminator placed rodenticide bait stations around the warehouse.
Rodenticides pose risks to pets and wildlife that might consume poisoned animals.
