Abstract
A food composition for poisoning a rodent, which comprises a rodent foodstuff which contains as an active rodenticidal agent, a lethal or sub-lethal quantity of a compound having the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is Cl, Br, F, or I; Y is H, Cl, Br, F, I, --SO.sub.3 H, SO.sub.3 Na, or --SO.sub.3 K; and R.sub.1 -R.sub.4 are each independently H, Cl, Br, F, I, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxyl, or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxyalkyl or a hydroquinone analogue of the compound, and a method for controlling rodents using said composition.
