Used as an anticoagulant in rodent control, this compound functions by inhibiting vitamin K epoxide reductase, disrupting the blood clotting process in target species. It is commonly formulated in bait stations for the management of rats and mice in both urban and agricultural settings. Due to its potency and long half-life, it is effective at low concentrations and typically used in cases of resistance to other anticoagulant agents. Its application requires careful handling to avoid secondary poisoning in non-target animals and potential environmental accumulation.
