Rodenticide

A rodenticide comprising a mixture of:

• a dehydrant comprising one or more dehydrants selected from the group consisting of:
• cellulose fibers, silica gel, perlite, and sodium chloride;
• a composition for producing endogenous gas, wherein the gas comprises oxygen and the composition for producing endogenous gas comprises one or more compositions selected from the group consisting of:
• calcium percarbonate and calcium peroxide;
• a dietary emulsifier comprising one or more dietary emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of:
• carboxymethylcellulose and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate;
• a hypercalcemia promoter comprising a mixture of calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol;
• an irritant;
• a source of cellulose;
• and
• a non-water soluble material that inhibits deterioration in wet and damp environments.

A method for exterminating rodents comprising the steps of:

• (a) preparing a rodenticide composition comprising a mixture of:
• a dehydrant comprising one or more dehydrants selected from the group consisting of:
• cellulose fibers, silica gel, perlite, and sodium chloride;
• a composition for producing endogenous gas, wherein the gas comprises oxygen and the composition for producing endogenous gas comprises one or more compositions selected from the group consisting of:
• calcium percarbonate and calcium peroxide;
• a dietary emulsifier comprising one or more dietary emulsifiers selected from the group consisting of:
• carboxymethylcellulose and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate;
• a hypercalcemia promoter comprising a mixture of calcium carbonate and cholecalciferol;
• an irritant;
• a source of cellulose;
• and
• a non-water soluble material that inhibits deterioration in wet and damp environments;
• and
• (b) placing an amount of the rodenticide composition sufficient to kill a rodent in an area in which the extermination of rodents is desired, wherein the rodent is killed after consuming the rodenticide composition.
