Description
Mode of Action
As a rodenticide, Zinc Phosphide works by releasing toxic phosphine gas when ingested by rodents. The gas is highly toxic to rodents, causing respiratory failure and ultimately leading to their deaths. It is an effective method for controlling rodent infestations, particularly in agricultural settings where rodents can cause significant damage to crops and stored grains.
When using Zinc Phosphide as a rodenticide, it is typically formulated into bait formulations such as pellets or grain baits. These baits are attractive to rodents and are laced with the Zinc Phosphide compound. Rodents consume the bait, and upon ingestion, the Zinc Phosphide reacts with the acidic conditions in their digestive system, releasing the toxic gas.
