[The efficacy of Salmocumarín rodenticide in livestock-raising and urban sites].
The activity in burrows at four different sites was calculated, and it went from 80 to 98% during pretreatment. For the first time in our country, average values of days/deaths of synanthropic rodents in natural conditions were obtained, and the reached values were between 16.50 and 19.06 after applying the biorodenticide. In the statistical analysis, a significant difference was found in the set of objectives related with days/deaths averages (H = 8.60*; p < 0.05). Moreover, no significant differences were found in percentages of residual activity in burrows (G = 8,27; p < 0.05). Results obtained show that Salmocumarín biorodenticide is much more effective in places where great populations of this species of cosmopolitan rodents exist.
